There are many things I like about Kristen, but that she is the sort of person who *has* a favorite theorist is one of the tops. Also, food.

kthread:

Zizek is my favorite theorist for many reasons—mostly, whenever I miss grad school, I watch video of him expounding and am hugely entertained.

Highly recommend his Twitter account, @zizekspeaks (if only for the bio). Great moment (0:41 in) that culturite points to about consumption—

Killin it as usual. Watch/listen to the whole thing, but especially at 0:41:13 when he slays organic food, Starbucks, Ethos water & consumption as relief of social responsibility.

“

She kept a textfile on her desktop. At first glance it looked like a lot of mishmash, but upon closer inspection you’d find someone’s name and then under it a giant list of seemingly unrelated words. Red, cats, 6/19, Sirius, Lyle Lovett, Aaron Sorkin.

If she knew you, you had an entry in that textfile. And if you mentioned something you liked, something you wanted, your birthday, your anniversary, your favorite color, what size you wore, she’d make a note of it under your name.

That’s how she was able to surprise people. And she loved doing that.

“I have lunch there every week or two, and while it would be cheaper to have a can of American Coke, I always pay extra for the 12-ounce bottle that says it’s “Hecho en Mexico.” I do this because I believe it tastes better, and I really don’t care why. Spend a few years writing a column about consumer culture, and what you learn is that we all think everyone else’s shopping quirks are weird and irrational — but that our own make perfect sense.”

“Much more important than working hard is knowing how to find the right thing to work on. Paying attention to what is going on in the world. Seeing patterns. Seeing things as they are rather than how you want them to be. Being able to read what people want. Putting yourself in the right place where information is flowing freely and interesting new juxtapositions can be seen.”

As it happened (as it was supposed to happen), I ran across this _Breakfast of Champions_ audio MM posted. I remember once reading this little cherry bomb of a book in one fell swoop, then needing to get up and look outside to see if the world was still there. If I didn’t feel so raw just now, I might take the book down & reread it now, but I don’t think I can do it. So maybe you should. You’ll end up wiser. Promise.

92Y Podcast: Kurt Vonnegut Reads Breakfast of Champions - 92Y Blog - 92nd Street Y - New York, NY

I can’t believe I’ve made it this long without ever hearing this audio, described as Vonnegut’s “first public reading of the classic Breakfast of Champions, three years before it was published, on May 4, 1970 at the 92nd Street Y.”

Sounds just terrific in the air:

This is a world premiere of a book called, Breakfast of Champions. Not even my wife has seen it — I’ve simply passed the rumor around that it exists. So, here we go. It…uh…it’s a novel.

My name is Dwayne Hoover and I am an experiment by the creator of the universe. I am the only creature in the entire universe who has free will. I am the only creature who has to figure out what to do next and why. Everybody else is a robot.

I am pooped. I wish I were a robot too. It is perfectly exhausting having to reason all the time in a universe I never made.

When you hear Kurt Vonnegut reading this aloud you appreciate the necessity of science fiction; it’s a way we crazy people have of talking about the world without talking about the world. I didn’t always get that, but now I really think I do.

Listen to the whole thing. It’s poetry.

“The guy that I stayed with got five days with the “dirty bag” for waving a Palestinian flag out a window. The dirty bag is when Israeli security services get a sack, wipe their shit on it, and put the bag over your head while your hands are tied behind your back. I spat out my falafel as he was explaining that to me, but he just goes, “That’s nothing. My cousin got it for two weeks without a break.” It’s difficult to come home and hear people complaining about reruns on TV after that.”
