My brother just emailed me the link to his eBay listing for ALLTIME FLAGSHIP YAMAHA CR-3020 MINT W/BOXES & MANUALS (a stereo receiver). Check that crazy item descrip. I was just talking today of how I didn't know until recently that he tended toward the obsessive-compulsive. How could it not have dawned on me years ago? I'll say this, though---you just know he's kept that receiver just so. Like the meticulous librarian who last owned this house, not the worst person from whom to buy something it's nice to find has been well cared for.
But, you know, kinda crazy.

Date: Mar. 8th, 2008 05:00 pm (UTC)but javier el caliente is the stroke of genius, on the part of javier and on the part of the coen brothers (or is it the guy who wrote the novel?). if it weren't for him, TLJ's questioning couldn't happen or wouldn't mean much. javier is the last instance, a representation of TLJ's life, but one that will only let you infer what the rules are. it's like geek love: what do you do when all the old rules (questioning, consensusing, love, progress) are off, and the new ones are not spelled out for you, but are set in stone, in the unspeaking, unspeakable one.
