Hahaha he wanted me to but I never got the chance! I asked him what he was in the mood to eat and where he was staying, and then the next we all heard from him was when poo poo really hit the fan. I wanted him to at least have a pleasant food experience while on vacation but I don't know if that's even happening.

I know, but the comic timing of it was perfect.

We don't really need a (new) live-action DBZ movie, considering that Man of Steel exists and is basically what it would look like.

(It's actually weirdly appropriate how much Man of Steel's fight scenes look like an episode of DBZ, considering that Goku's backstory is a goofy take on Superman's.)

Don't forget Matrix Revolutions. And DBZ also has the origin in a old Chinese or Japanese story about a monkey god on a cloud or something.

There's definitely an influence of Journey to the West in DBZ, but Goku's backstory is straight-up Superman: the "last of his race" crash-lands on Earth in a capsule and is raised by a kindly fellow to become a defender of the planet.

I want to meet up and buy you a drink after your whole ordeal and hear you recount this whole trip for me in person, but I'm very likely going to have to bring my girlfriend to the hospital after she gets off of work. So we'll see.

In the interest of talking about something - anything - else, I just finished The Terror by Dan Simmons a few days ago and it was loving great. I recall when I mentioned I was starting it, someone said it loses steam halfway through, but I was hooked all the way through. I thought it had a great sense of momentum to it. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a great (albeit a bit long) slice of unremittingly grim period piece survival horror.

I'm now about a quarter of the way through his new one The Abominable which is... not as good. Now that I'm into the meat of it it's not so bad, but it opens with a loving woefully bad framing sequence and any time the novel refers back to it I'm like "Christ, this poo poo again." But if you're into mountain climbing it's pretty dope.

If you want a better, more literary Stephen King, Dan Simmons is where it's at.

You were literally locked in a strange drug house for a day with no explanation, I consider myself a feminist but calling you needy and dumb for trying to figure out an escape plan is entirely deserving of a five across the eyes

Geekboy posted:

I mean, not literally.
One time I was visiting my first girlfriend after our relationship had gone long distance and two of her friends were over. I ate some energy bars that I thought belonged to the former but belonged to the latter. My girlfriend lost her poo poo and spent an hour screaming at me. I offered to re-buy them and more but the apartment was gated and she refused to let me out to go do it.

But even then, I'm pretty sure I could've just found some way to climb over the gate, walked to the airport, and flew home. Considering she dumped me two weeks later and I found out shortly afterward that she'd been cheating on me (and she was verbally/emotionally abusive as gently caress the whole time we were together), I really should have.

So SALT CURES HAM, if you ever get out of that crackhouse, I encourage you to take a long, searching inventory of how you can avoid getting locked in a crackhouse because of an insane, cheating girlfriend. Considering that hasn't happened to me in nine years, I really think there are ways to learn from this.

EDIT: My immediate advice if you ever get out is to run for the loving airport and not leave in anything but your plane under any circumstances.

EDIT2: Didn't see this page. Well, anyway, take this whole thing as a teachable moment.

As far as "better," I mean that he's better. And that they work in similar idioms I guess, hence the comparison (Summer of Night is Dan Simmons' It, Carrion Comfort is his Salem's Lot, etc.)

As far as "more literary," I mean both that the quality of his prose is at a much higher average and also that in a lot of his works he uses the literary canon as reference points. The Terror features Thomas Hobbes' Leviathan and Edgar Allan Poe's The Masque of the Red Death as major plot/thematic elements, and his big sci-fi opus The Hyperion Cantos is named after the piece by John Keats (who goes on to appear in the second book) and is a structural riff on The Canterbury Tales.

The angry texting had nothing to do with her locking me in and everything to do with me being scared shitless that she was breaking up with me because I threw out a lot of my life plans to be with her and didn't really have a backup plan.

e: Smoked a blunt with a stereotypical gangsta named Mario after recounting my tale. This trip is now a little salvaged.

Because I didn't realize I was locked in until fairly late on. I thought that, like any edifice designed by sane people, it was openable from the inside without the key even when locked.

You are way the gently caress too much like I was at your age.

Let me give you some advice that it takes some people way too long to learn: being single is better than a lifetime of misery with someone whom you can't admit to yourself you hate. I was with the girlfriend I mentioned earlier when I was your age, and when we broke up it hurt like a motherfucker. Now I just look back and feel like I dodged the biggest bullet of my life. Dump her rear end. Like, immediately, before she locks you up again.
