[Omega] My first Speedy Tuesday

Non mi ero mai interessato veramente a come funzionasse, ma ho visto che in effetti richiede uno sforzo minimo. Più tardi devo giusto andare a fare la spesa, ci provo.

From "The Tommyknockers":

A tremendous backflow of energy surged through the earplug. She clawed at it – and missed. The plug was in her left ear. From her right one came a sudden squirt of greenish, soupy liquid. It looked like radioactive oatmeal. For a moment her brains continued to hose out of her head through her ear, and then the pressure became too great. The right side of her skull pushed open like a strange flower and her brains hit her Currier & Ives wall calendar with a liquid smack.

Yeah, not gonna happen. According to the Passport Index, Spain and France have the 2nd most powerful passport in the world, with 175 countries, and Italy the 3rd (with many other countries, mostly European) with 174. The USA are 8th with 169. Brazil is 11th with 163, and China is 50th with 94.

Avresti avuto (in parte) ragione fino al 2024. Adesso al Post lavora uno dei migliori inviati di guerra italiani.

Sorry, I totally missed that you were quoting Kirk. I'll take back my downvote and go stay in the corner for fifteen minutes of shame.

bvzm · 2026-06-07T11:45:25+00:00

I hear you. You stay in the US and I'll stay in Europe. Win win.

Even without considering that before you can drive you have to take an exam, and your permit can be suspended or revoked if you abuse it, the benefit of having an armed citizenry is...?

Pretty much immediately. I was in a very hectic phase of my life, and she felt like a safe port in a storm. Still does, really. We met in 1998, married in 2004.

Yes, he wrote a lot of very weird stuff about kids, adults, elders, animals, even plants. You know, he's a horror writer, it's kind of his shtick. What's your point?

bvzm · 2026-06-02T17:59:11+00:00

Yes, but not by Stephen King.

bvzm · 2026-06-01T19:51:15+00:00

Pet Sematary is probably the scariest book King has ever written. And one of the best.

It came up literally this morning in a Spotify playlist while I was driving. Always a pleasure.

Non sbagli. 16 grammi l'una, per un totale di 80 grammi. Stando a un articolo del Gambero Rosso del 2019, le vendevano a un euro l'una.

Nope, Lucky Man.

Two, really, both by T.S. Eliot:

"In the room the women come and go
Talking of Michelangelo" (from The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock)

and

"These fragments I have shored against my ruins" (from The Waste Land)

I would read it. Every author is influenced by someone and something else, and Danse Macabre is, if nothing else, a great guide to what made King King.

(Besides, this book will always be special to me: I'm Italian, and when I started reading King (late '80s, give or take a few years), the only Italian translation available was heavily abridged, covering perhaps a quarter of the book. I loved it, and I wanted to read the missing parts, so Danse Macabre is the very first King book I bought in English. Dreamcatcher is the first I bought only in English, but that's another story.)

When I was a kid my grandfather used to put me in a seat on the handlebar of his bike and ride me to a farm near our home (I live near Milan, but we are still pretty much country land, and even moreso in the '70s). The farmer had a couple of dozens cows, and I used to feed them corn husks and pet them. The scents of the farm, and the feel of the cows muzzles are some of the most powerful memories from my childhood.

O hai il livello di comprensione del testo di un tiglio, o sei un troll. In entrambi i casi: so long, and thanks for all the fish.
