Finally finished to kill a mockingbird. Very long and very boring.

    Really? “Long and boring.” Have you read the Jungle yet? I’m on like page 40 and I’m about to kill myself. Moby Dick is looking better and better. (I totally dig gutting and severing a whale…) I don’t know how Sam did it. Okay, maybe I do. Then again, if you ask him, he’ll say I don’t. So for now, I’ll state that I have a relatively distant guess.

    • Sam says:

      I’m not through The Jungle yet, but I’m on Chapter 10, pg 99. I enjoyed the other books, but skipped all the work that went along with them, so I have more rereading to do after The Jungle. I love to do ceremonial Inuit dances through whale organs. It’s very calming. And gory.

    That’s oddly creepy. It kinda reminds me what Kim Tomchak’s opinion is on those little metal orbs that the Chinese claim are suppose to be calming. You’re supposed to do these little exercises where you rotate them in intricate patterns in the palm of your hand. It’s really hypnotic, and they make little jingling noises. Kim loved them too, until she dropped one on her foot. She described them as, and I quote, “Dangerously calming Chinese balls.” (he-he.) Seeing the words “calming” and “gory” next to each other (more or less) reminded me of that incident.

    Maybe I meant “invigorating.” They can easily be confused… by me, anyway.

  4. Madeleine says:

    Well, what is your definition? We all know what it is for “machoism”. (Hey, at least I got the point Maxx was making.) I guess maybe words conform to the speaker and their mind. It is all based on the listener’s open mind, and rather or not they can catch language’s inner personality.

    Maybe I should shut up now… As my dad says, “Open mouth, insert foot.” It might take a couple, feet.
