me: yo
you like heinlein?
i've just read that he had an uncompleted novel
called variable star
3:41 PM that has now been completed with the blessings of his family, by some other scifi dude named spider robinson
the first 8 chapters are being released free online over the next few weeks
if they're good i may buy it
Stuart: spider robinson was born to be a niche writer, was he not
me: with a name like that he sure wasn't born to be mainstream
3:42 PM in ANYTHING
Stuart: even in the forums of www.animalnames.com he was considered just too extreme and was perma-banned
3:47 PM me: have you heard the wu-tang mashup album that was on boingboing yesterday?
called Wu Orleans
some dj mixed dixieland jazz with wu raps
louis armstrong vs RZA
not bloody bad
3:48 PM Stuart: that sounds like a good mix. Still haven't got the net at home.
me: also... if you have time somehow, check out the trailer for The Protector on apple
it's a thai movie
called Tom Yum Goong here
i'm sure you know it
featuring the guy from ong-bak
i've raved about it for ages, best damn action movie all year
Stuart: does his new movie feature a storyline this time?
me: well the americans have changed the story completely
no
3:49 PM well
he now beats people up while looking for his lost elephant
instead of a religious icon
but by god what beating up it is
Stuart: how do you lose an elephant?
me: it was stolen...
I KNOW I KNOW
but trust me it was stolen, and he loved it very much
3:50 PM Stuart: yeah, but... just look for someone walking out of your house with an elephant
"excuse me, is that yours?"
me: it was... a drug cartel
that somehow wanted it
vietnamese mafia based out of australia, came to thailand to steal his elephant
Stuart: they had to crowbar a drug cartel into it didn't they
me: the mafia bunch are led by a chinese transvestite
3:51 PM Stuart: you're just making this up now
me: oh no i'm not
Stuart: :O
me: don't worry, the weinstein brothers have cleaned it up for your western mind to comprehend
i bet he's now a cop
avenging the death of his partner
Stuart: yeah, I bet forums up and down the land are saying it's been "dumbed down" for a western audience
3:52 PM me: when will you appreciate our art!?
and then he sent me this awesome picture:
