Well, but isn't there an English version anymore? I was the first to make it, and after all the hours spent translating all these constructions, object complements, verbal predicates... you take it away from me. Infamous. You owe me six hours of life.

"That damn food often comes out as a side note to the story: the chili factory, the chicken slaughterhouse, canned food, the theft of grease." He's really obsessed, isn't he? It must be due to those nights at the drive-in spent eating all kinds of junk. There's a newspaper article in one of the two anthologies (I can’t remember which one) that dedicates an entire page just to describe the setup of one of the largest drive-in kiosks ever built. Perhaps it's because he often deprives himself of junk food to stay in shape and vents in his books. I can't picture him in a kimono filthy with peanut butter.

"I have the impression, supported by nothing, that the best is further back." Now that you've read the latest, I don’t think the others will "astound" you. I repeat, they are all the same to me; even if some have better lines, they might have a "bad" structure that’s a bit worse. My favorite is Two Bears Mambo, because there isn’t a page where they don’t make fun of someone, and above all, something happens in it that never happens in the others (of course I won’t tell you, otherwise what’s the fun?).

<< talking about a certain kind of America and Texas in particular: land of cowboys, preachers, regurgitations of a recent past deeply racist, of battered women and silenced horrors... >> And fucked up food. Notice, almost ten books, and they never eat anything that isn't a whole grain Tuna & Apple sandwich, low-profile chain Hamburgers, Dr. Pepper, vanilla cookies, and chips. And that idiot Hap drinks non-alcoholic beer, the most useless beverage on the planet. The funny thing is they eat often, at least 5-6 times a book describing a meal, and it’s always systematically fucked up food. When I see him, my only question will be on this subject, emphasizing the fact that tuna with apples doesn't do a damn thing. Throw in some fucking tomato.

Keep in mind that you’ve read the most “exaggerated” one, where they even shoot and kill. Furthermore, it’s the one where various tough characters from the saga come together (all of them hardcore) and new, even tougher ones pop up, including Vanilla Ride, who will surely be part of the next episode. Those who read Hap & Leo no longer want a plot (since they’re all the same), they want to read the one-liners and see what other unbelievable characters J.R.L. will come up with. And with Vanilla Ride, I think he has surpassed the surmountable; she seems like a character from Street Fighter. For me, he can make another 25 exactly the same, and I’ll buy them all.

The good old Paint, the preferred weapon of the Shardana army...

<< contains (virtually) only three tracks from "Homework" >> It has all of them; this live is a mash-up of all the tracks, there are even moments with overlapping beats. They gave me back the CD yesterday after years and years, I just finished listening to it. It hits even harder than I remembered, even better than the Chemical Brothers on New Year's 2000. The good old days before inserting the annoying voices that ruin everything, and before splitting live performances into tracks, which is the worst mistake in an electronic live show.

Wow, what do you use to edit the images, a hammer and chisel? If the graphic designer at DeB sees that stuff with pixels as big as watermelons, he'll commit suicide on the next diving mission :D

Damn, I'm losing my touch. It's obvious you'd laugh at something like this; just imagine the hurt ego of all those who take 3 hours to write their little page, checking dates, record labels, reading others' reviews for ideas... and then you end up there, in the clearance section "7 reviews for €1." But I really can't remember it; it must have been erased from the titles of the albums released in the following years :)
