-Grotesque by Natsuo Kirino - her other book "Out" was fucking awesome, this should be too.


japanese fiction ftw.  also, amazon gift cards ftw.

[Van Cruncheon]

i read grotesque in an airport -- it was pretty good.

[Howard Alan Treesong]

Hard-Boiled Wonderland is Murakami's best by a good green country mile. If you like it, read Iain Banks' The Bridge.

I have bought nothing today...I am starting to get in "save" mode for my upcoming JAPAN TRIP!!

[T-Short]

I bought $195 worth of vinyl 

when are you going to japan, patel?

[Rman]

Cool, Patel, I've always wanted to visit Japan.  I don't know too much Japanese so I'd be afraid to go there on my own.

if it's 1/100th as good as Wind Up Bird Chronicle, I'll be satisfied.

[T-Short]

tomato cages

surge protector

some new ink for my HP ink gobbling printer

boring boring boring.


....almost bought a radio controlled helicopter, but my wife talked me out of it. $200 isn't a bad deal for a starter copter...but it would be just another hobby to waste time.

it is 200/100ths as good as Wind-Up Bird.

[huckleberry]

That is what makes me afraid to buy one.  I have watched how to videos on YouTube but it still looks complicated as hell to get the little bastard flying.


..hell, maybe I should just get an RC Airplane.  Only problem is I can't play with it in the back yard.


I should save my money for a new DSLR though.  That is what I really want...a nice camera.

-Grotesque by Natsuo Kirino - her other book "Out" was fucking awesome, this should be too.

out was incredible

i have grotesque on my bookshelf but i haven't read it yet.

did you know that at one point they were trying to turn Out into a comedy starring susan sarandon?

[Eric P]

dude i've been thinking about those but I know nothing about them and I'm afraid I'd completely destroy it

we got a cheapo one for my dad for christmas

first time playing with it, he crashed and destroyed it

okay...that's wrong for so many reasons and on so many levels.  Who the hell would read that book and think "hmm, this would make a great comedy!"  It is absurd in a lot of ways, but not "haha" funny.   

[Eric P]

well it looks like new line picked up the rights again

New Line Cinema has optioned “Out,” a novel by Natsuo Kirino that won Japan’s Grand Prix award for crime fiction. Hideo Nakata is attached to direct and Joe Forte will write the thriller’s script.

[Eric P]

oh, joy

it's the guy who wrote recent harrison ford "thriller" firewall

not enough facepalms in the world.


If Hollywood really wanted to americanize a Japanese book and do it some justice, they'd get David Lynch to adapt the Wind Up Bird Chronicle 

[AdmiralViscen]

I have a radio controller airplane, I've crashed it and not broken it. It's easy to fly too.

http://www.rcplaneguide.com/FirebirdXLCommander.html

One time the wind took it, it went across this gigantic field we were on, across a fucking forest too. We got in the car and drove up and down a few blocks past the forest and found it on the side of the road

[Mupepe]

maybe you can cum teach me how to fly it?

[AdmiralViscen]

U cum here

Bring your joystick 

[Eric P]

i bought GROCERIES!

yesterday i bought Sunset and Sawdust by Joe R. Lansdale

Whether he's writing Hap Collins-Leonard Pine mysteries, genre-bending horror novels, or his own blend of historical fiction and gritty country noir, cult-favorite Lansdale rarely hits a wrong note. He's a superb stylist and a first-rate storyteller, and his sandpaper wit never fails to scratch out a brand of humor that hovers somewhere between knee-slap funny and painfully revelatory. He's in his country-noir mode here, in what just may be his best novel yet. The tale begins with a hold-your-breath set piece in which red-haired beauty Sunset Jones kills her husband, Pete, who happened to be raping her at the time. Given all that, it comes as a surprise to the residents of Camp Rapture, an ironically named sawmill settlement in Depression-era East Texas, when Sunset's mother-in-law, majority owner of the mill, arranges to have Sunset replace Pete as the settlement's constable. Soon enough, Sunset--with the help of two deputies, both with romantic designs on their boss--is investigating the murder of a woman and her unborn child, a crime that may implicate Pete. Lansdale layers the mystery elements skillfully, building to an action-filled climax, but where he really shines is in his evocation of both the desperation and the determination that grew from the dirt of the Depression. Sunset is a marvelous character; you don't see many feminist heroines in the femme-fatale world of noir, which makes her emergence, her coming-of-age in an age set firmly against her, so exhilarating.

i love him and will read anything he writes

I should get that. Laptop touchpads suck.

[Eel O'Brian]

i really dig it, beezy.  once you download the software at logitech, you can customize the functions to whatever you like.  I have the left tilt and right tilt on the scroll wheel acting as back and forward buttons right now.

[Beezy]

Thanks Eel. I'm gonna order it from amazon since there's no Officemax near me. It's just $5 more there.

200 bucks

what the fuck?

That sounds normal.

3 pairs of jeans at $40 each = $120
3 shirts at $20 each = $60
The rest goes to the boxers.

[Joe Molotov]

PR's mom still buys all his clothes, he doesn't know what stuff costs.

Got me some:

[ferrarimanf355]

GTA4 preorder at Best Buy. I have two weeks to pick it up. 

[fistfulofmetal]

i bought a coke

[Vizzys]

i went to the store with money and came back with nothing

I didnt find anything I wanted or needed, crap feeling

I saw creative has a 2gb zen out however, almost bought that but decided against it at the last min

[AdmiralViscen]

PR's mom still buys all his clothes, he doesn't know what stuff costs.

Blow it out your dick. I buy my own clothes, with my mothers money. Ive never gotten a pair of jeans over $25 in my life.

You sure got him

Yeah, why Monster, Mupepe?  You already know about Monoprice.

looks like Best Buy forgot to upsell you an intercooler and spider-man 3 console skin too.

[MCD]

obviously he was too lazy to buy hdmi/component cables separately and decided to go with this combo.

[drew]

1 bottle of Kamchakata vodka
2 Blockbuster rentals:  LOST season 3 disc 4, Rainbow Six:  Vegas
1 pack of Parliaments

[Mupepe]

it's not a combo

It was 15 bucks at target for the component cables and no other stores were open.  15 bucks after 517 bucks (the movie, game, ps3) is fucking nothing

[MCD]

it isn't?

my bad, just woke up 

[Mr. Gundam]

Only $15? Ok, you're good, then.

And don't listen to the haters, Uncharted is fun. But you also shouldn't listen to the rabid fanboys over at GAF. It's fun, but not the second coming of Christ as they'd like you to believe.

[Mupepe]

i played about an hour of it, it was so awesome

[T-Short]

Why did you buy a Monster component cable?!?

my guess is because the white people on the box are so happy
