And his journal, for years, is pages upon pages of 'I am awake' (and variations) crossed out and rewritten each day as he never recalls being the one who wrote it the previous day. On every page, the phrase becomes increasingly emphatic ('I am REALLY awake.', 'I am FINALLY awake.', I am AWAKE.'). He eventually devised a system of using * to denote 'Clive wrote the following sentence.' ...But he never remembers that either, and just keeps crossing out. (2/2)
Reminds me of Clive Wearing. He was a musicologist until he got some infection in the 80s. It broke his memory. He wakes up daily as if from a coma. His mind resets every few minutes. He greets his wife as if it's been years, every time. He can't name his children. He can play piano flawlessly but could not tell you how (because he 'never learned' to play). He can recall video if repeated enough but could not tell you how the information got in his head. (1/2)
It's dangerous to go alone. Take this.
The time comes when his mind is gone and even in his lucid moments, he is listless. He nor the Sphinx can bear it anymore. She gives him a riddle...But she does not twist the answer to suit him this time. It would not be a kindness any longer. And he falls, at last. In the moments as her jaw closes upon him, although she does not see or hear it, lucidity returns to his eyes and he simply utters a thank you for everything.
The texture sucks because nobody wants to eat some shit that feels like someone else chewed it first.
I somehow doubt anyone called anybody 'nigg-threers'...
...What was the ramen thing?
What does a CEO even do to warrant their paycheck?
And yet they're still richer than three fucking generations of human could reasonably spend...So it's not enough.
Hannibal Rising.
That's what I thought the whole bit was...
You are very correct. You will be very hated for it.
Dumb thing to despise. It's like people imagine the internet exists in personal fucking instances...
I've watched every episode of that show so many fuckin' times and never noticed that. I really do find new stuff every time...
Courage The Cowardly Dog ass abomination. I enjoyed it.
Add goldfish crackers and see what happens.
It doesn't even make sense that it fucks people up that bad. Like 'Follow these rules and you get to do some boring ass shit forever.' ...Okay so fuck that book.
Lying awake increases lying awakeness.
Mac and cheese = good pussy = sloshy nose
The big antelope nose wobbling about is what good pussy sounds like.
You really don't.
Skirlie, a Scottish dish, is basically oatmeal fried with onions and spices...Which is itself basically meatless haggis not served in a stomach. Although I suppose you could add meat to skirlie. The major problem with oatmeal is its texture is fucking garbage whatever you do.
"Balancing family" ...Is there some magic by which family disappears into a void because you're making something in the kitchen?
...Is that the goddamn Shrek music when Fiona turns into a real ogre at the end?
I gotchu.
Okay so what then was your point?
I never thought about it until just now but Rogue being into Renn faires sounds like the most obvious thing in the universe.
Half of these are the same pen...
Wrong.
