james joyce is a pretty interesting writer

a friend of mine alerted me to the fact that he wrote his wife love letters often and that they were worth reading

so i googled and found a buzzfeed article!

oh

I'm going to assume that James Joyce didn't know what a fanny fart was back in the day.

Or he had a tiny penis and his wife was just gross.

Yeah, that isn't even the worst of it. Einstein was a dirty dog as well.

James Joyce is my favourite writer. Ulysses, Finnegas Wake, Dubliners...humanity is still catching up. O the ineluctable modality of the visible!

Looks like the snow storm has hit. Gonna be fun walking to work...

No, he talks about them coming from her bum in other quotes. There was also one about him not having a big enough penis for her to ride though, which is fantastic.

I should read Dubliners.

I am now super busy at work so don't really have time to check in here. I'm ok with this though considering I spent most of last year in my old company looking for a new job and calling politicians names on twitter.

It's partly pointless, most of the MP's use a PR handler to tweet.

Cathartic though. Anyway, it was mostly labour party members in Scotland. Seem to be a dying breed these days.

And Ulysses

And Finnegans Wake (not all in one go)

Joyce wrote the best opening and closing lines of any books ever.

I'm only going to read Ulysses for street cred.

Finnegan's Wank :

With slit ribbons of his shirt whipping the air he hops and hobbles round the table, with trousers down at heels. Member turgidly erect, silent, a panther, got in thoughts of spousebreach. FRATE PORCOSPINO. Tough taut nuggets, pulsating, pendulating, aroused with the handmaid of the moon. Mouth to her kiss. Kiss to her kiss. Begob he got as far as the strokes and holding he and he bawls out of him. His gumheavy serpentplant, milkoozing fruit.

Do it. coolest kids stick to the 1922 edition. Those 1960s chumps are squares.


8bit, I had to do a double take to check that wasnt actually in FW. Or is it? It looks too comprehensible to me.

 

[8bit]

It is mostly, it's a little adapted but the words are from the book.

 

[The_Poet]

Got tickets to go see Spurs in the League Cup final!

Spoiler

The last time I saw them at Wembley we lost

Pfft, everyone knows that's just a (mono)myth,

 

[SmokyDave]

Holy shit, it's not fucking about out there. One minute it's a bit chilly, the next minute: SNOW.

Kinda worried that the nursery will close early and leave me scrabbling around to rescue my kid like a low rent version of The Day After Tomorrow.

A friend posted a picture in Manchester of the road outside his flat full of snow. I was surprised because here in London it's business as usual.

 

[Reknoc]

Guess I'm keeping my work boots on today. Don't want to traverse this snow in converse lol

edit: didn't bring any lunch either so I need to go down to the shop (((

 

[BGBW]

I had to take one of my layers off because the sun was baking down on me.

The Dave After Tomorrow

 

[show me your skeleton]

FRATE PORCOSPINO.

my favourite harry potter spell.

 

[sploatee]

The Dave After Tomorrow

You could say its Judgement Dave.

 

[sploatee]

How do I make sure?

1922 ed. has a nicer font.

 

[JonathanEx]

Slightly too-niche for Twitter dumb thought

You Know My Name by Chris Cornell is on the radio. Does anyone else thinks it sounds a bit like it'd be a song from Sonic Adventure games.

YOU KNOW MY NAME cos you LIVED AND LEARRNED I don't know

No because its actually a good song.

 

[dapperbandit]

...are you saying the Sonic Adventure games didn't have a good soundtrack?

 

[The_Poet]

Im saying anything associated with Sonic is automatically terrible and creepy.

 

[dapperbandit]

Sonic wasn't always synonymous with obscene degeneracy, learning difficulties and post-teen virginity.

I treasure the memories I have of that time.

Right it's old but somehow I missed this and I can't not share this too because someone needs to continually bring down the musical credibility level of this thread. From the people behind What Does The Fox Say...

Home now. Blimey.

Also I'm gonna go with "underrated and under appreciated" for the last two Strokes albums.

The latest one is their best since Room on Fire. Tap Out, One Way Trigger, Welcome to Japan are all top songs. Plus Macchu Picchu from Angles is great. But you can tell they recorded separately; it lacks the cohesion of Is This It.

Cambridge Cineworld closed abruptly tonight. Looks like I'll be cancelling my Unlimited Card soon. Pity none of the other chains do a scheme like that.

Angles is underrated - Under Cover of Darkness and the last song are probably my two favourite Strokes songs of all. The middle bit is a bit draggy but I like weary and sad Strokes more than weary and louche Strokes.

So we did finally get some of that snow down here. Didn't last long, but I'm secretly hoping it starts up again while I'm sleeping and is heavy all through the night so it's really deep in the morning and I don't have to go to work.

Lucky if that's true. Some of us have to work from home. No escape.

Uninteresting game dump

Titanfall enjoyment is starting to wear off now after about 15 hours.

Still enjoying Driveclub. I am beginning to understand what a car is. It has four wheels! Four!!!

Half Life 2 is rather good. It has this really dry humour to it. The sound design is incredible too. I am telling you things you already know. Looking forward to playing Portal again too.

Umm. Ok! Night!!

 

[Musha_Soturi]

Oh I work from home too. But working from home for me means switching the computer on and connecting to my VD then watching films and TV shows on the iPad while moving the mouse every 10 mins to show I'm still active, and replying to the odd email every hour or so.

Had a nice bit overnight here in that there Yorkshire. No problem for me to get in to work, and a fun morning for our servers team to deal with school closure traffic, but I did enjoy watching the large snowfall in the morning out of the windows.

Then it stopped all afternoon and it's just icy which is sad. BE MORE SNOWING.
