I hate to use such crude language, but there is some very complex masculinity play between the Hartman and Schwarzenegger characters in this film. Like, Hartman is not seeking the pleasure of intimacy with Schwarzenegger's wife. He is seeking the pleasure of cucking Schwarzenegger.

By "forgot" I guess I mean that I watched this when I was 10 and have not thought about since

Turns out Sacks made up a bunch of stuff. Like he openly admits it in his letters and journals.

The part about the Reagan speech in particular always seemed made up to me.

One might even argue that the fact that you only get one is a big part of why having shitty parent is so shitty.

This is one of those books where I genuinely wonder what people who like it think it is about, other than like the abstract idea of a book about smart stuff.

Translation exercises are also useful in helping you abstract form and meaning

I would also add that I think a very good education for a writer is to study literature in a language they are not fluent in. It forces you to understand literature as art in a way that can be difficult with one's first language.

Me and this mf used to party all the time

Stuff like pastiching famous writers or writing a page long story as one sentence or all questions or otherwise playing with form and voice.

Aww, thank you! ❤️

Still mad that I have been touched by the light of God, though, lolllll

I don't really like hookups either but maybe I should learn simply to distance myself from this person.
