"We're going to party like it's 1999. Again." --Frye on Futurama (quote for future reference) --- Woke up this morning wondering if I was going to end up being 30 years old and regretting not going to grad school. Mostly a career thing, partly a "Do I have a career?" thing. 99-8-2 --- Life is a partial, continuous, progressive, multiform and conditionally interactive self-realization of the potentialities of atomic electron states. --John Bernal --- "God not only plays dice, He sometimes throws the dice where they cannot be seen." --S. Hawking --- Andre Serrano's Piss Christ 99-8-2 --- "The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds the most discoveries, is not 'Eureka!' but 'That's funny...'" --Isaac Asimov --- "But I don't have to know an answer. I don't feel frightened by not knowing things, by being lost in the mysterious universe without having any purpose, which is the way it really is, as far as I can tell, possibly. It doesn't frighten me." --Richard Feynman --- "Thoughts of the Produce Section"- the most important one was the cherry saying "run away with me"- the other biggie was "I am the world's angriest eggplant." 99-8-2 --- "Far, far below the deepest delvings of the Dwarves, the world is gnawed by nameless things." --Gandalf, "The Two Towers" --- "love is a piano dropped from a four story window and you were in the wrong place at the wrong time" -ani difranco, "two little girls" --- McGowan's Madison Avenue Axiom: If an item is advertised as "under $50", you can bet it's not $19.95. --- Going over the k+r archive. Despite this behavior, and despite a lust for her that will never entirely disipate, I still know I'm over her: I can no longer imagine having a sustained relationship with her. A fling might be possible, but will never be worth risking a fundamental relationship. 99-8-3 --- FROM THE R+K: --- here i am, i'm here in my mind -- and yours, it seems. don't hold me too dear, many dreams are unrealized. -R. --- "Why you're about as 'fatale' as an after-dinner mint." --Cabaret --- [the excerpt from "In The Bath"] --- Uma Thurman on a Hog Harley: now *that's* heaven. --k.d.lang --- This life is like an Atomic Fire Ball (r) - once you get past the stuff that hurts it's pretty sweet. --- "[life is like chocolate covered espresso beans...] once you get past the stuff that's sweet, it's really dark and bitter and keeps you up at night." --- [shiek of araby] --- "She moved so easily / All I could think of was sunlight" --Paul Simon --- "Double integral is also the shape of lovers curled asleep." Pynchon --- Paul D sits down in the rocking chair and examines the quilt patched in carnival colors. His hands are limp between his knees. There are too many things to feel about this woman. His head hurts. Suddenly he remembers Sixo trying to describe what he felt about the Thirty-Mile Woman. "She is a friend of my mind. She gather me, man. The pieces I am, she gather them and give them back to me in all the right order. It's good, you know, when you got a woman who is a friend of your mind." --Toni Morrison --- (i do not know what it is about you that closes and opens, only something in me understands the voice of your eyes is deeper than all roses) --e.e. cummings --- [don marquis, life is not all jazz and joy] --- I see friends shaking hands saying 'how do you do?' they're really saying 'I love you' and I think to myself What a wonderful world" --Louis Armstrong --- "I think it's kind of funny you think I'm the boy to make you cry I can make you happy... if only for a while" --George Michael --- "Would not a rose, by any other name, have so many ?$^ thorns????" --- The autumn leaves are falling like rain. Although my neighbors are all barbarians, And you, you are a thousand miles away, There are always two cups at my table. --Author Unknown, dated from the T'ang Dynasty --- |
