i'm really liking how he doesn't painstakingly spell everything out, but gives you enough information to suss things out for yourself
not even on major plot points, even on stuff like background and setting
at first i was all 'deCom? mimint? what?'
and he never specifically goes and says decommisioners or military machine intelligence
i just wish the dude could write a less awkward sex scene, that's the thing that bugged me about altered carbon and it contines to bug me in woken furies
he really seems to like doing it, too
once in AC, two in BA and i think two in WF
dude likes text-sex
two in AC
once with miriam bancroft, once with kristin ortega
i mean, cunt is one of my favorite words and all, but maybe the dude could expand his vocabulary when it comes to girlybits
"hello mr kovacs.. i bleed aphrodisiac from my CUNT"
fuck fuck fuck
"mr. kovacs.. our physical chemistry is overwhelming.. CUNT"
fuck fuck fuck
i did really like the whole angle where he was all 'uuuurrrrg i want to bone the shit out of ortega' and then he gets out of riker's sleeve and was all, 'goddamnit, i didn't want to bone her at all, stupid riker's body'
probably the single best collection of short stories i have ever read
e: also i am hella excited for spook country
oh jesus h fucking christshit
deathbird stories is one of my favorite books and hands down the best short story collection i've read
WHAT IS WITH YOU AND BEING IN MY HEAD
i am starting to think that maybe we shouldn't meet up because then we'd shake hands and melt into flesh-coloured goop like in van damme's masterpiece "timecop"
There was a young boy who had a magical friend. They laughed and played and swam across oceans; flew across mountains. The shock therapy was terrible and the boy developed a brain dysfunction. The doctors did not diagnose it he was unhappy forever.

it's about some girl that stows away on a one-person cargo craft IN SPACE and she's either got to be ejected into space alive or the precisely calibrated vehicle will crash and the colony of thousands will die from starvation. It was very cool
my granddad is a big writer guy in his field of expertise and is always doing lectures and stuff and also he was on some arctic explorations and survived the London bombings and worked on trains in africa transporting peanuts. it saddens me to think I'll never be as awesome as he is
I wrote this story once about eyebrow gremlins. But I lost it. So I will make up a new one. It will suck.
Once upon a time, in a far, far away place, there was a cow with no legs. The cow floated in the air, far, far above the wasteland. One day, a man came to the wasteland, bearing a small pie, the last thing that remained of his dead wife. He looked up at the sky...and his eyes filled with tears. For he knew that the sky had been defiled, that things that did not belong there called it home. The cow did not know this, for its brain was incapable of processing anything besides the weight of water molecules. And so, it rained. And the cow knew contentment. The man did not.
I'm not sure what to write next. I mean, it has a weird beauty to it, I think...

filled the holes in my gibson collection, got woken furies, harlan ellison's slippage, and some bukowski poetry

not a lot of happy endings for kovacs, it seems
(except maybe the ending of WF which i can't remember)

most of them were pretty bad
so I've sworn off reading
reading and writing is probably my favourite thing about life
if they hadn't invented literacy i would probably have killed myself a while ago
I liked that one
chillums
he was going to take the silver from the silverfishes belly and use it to marry the girl he loved
but he never caught a silverfish, and he despaired
so one day he traveled far to consult a wise old sage who was rumored to have been quite the fisherman in his youth
he traveled far, and he traveled long, and on the edge of death he reached the sage's hut
and the sage said, 'a silverfish is a bug, not a fish, what are you, defective?'
and everybody laughed and the fisherman cried because the girl he loved would never marry a retard
i was sure this was an asimov story but i can't find it so i don't think it is
maybe it's a niven story
I will tell a story:
There was a young boy who had a magical friend. They laughed and played and swam across oceans; flew across mountains. The shock therapy was terrible and the boy developed a brain dysfunction. The doctors did not diagnose it he was unhappy forever.
I wish I could tell you. I mean if I remembered their names I would sound educated, right? no such luck
also I do like writing but I realize to be a better writer you need to read a lot of stuff and that seems like not as much fun as other stuff
it would free up around $75 a month i think
my discount cards keep wearing out
the other guys don't understand!
