Ohrwurm:
Sounds like perspective was lost?

Wasn't there a Calvin and Hobbes cartoon once where Perspective stopped working?
(Mon Jan 12, 2004 - 11:34:12 am)

Froupie:
my perspective has never worked.

what's the story with elliott smith anyway. they say his suicide note was a few words scribbled on a post-it. that's not how drama queens go out.

A few words on a post it note?
(Mon Jan 12, 2004 - 12:20:32 pm)

Froupie:
i thought it wasnt suicide anymore
(Mon Jan 12, 2004 - 12:23:30 pm)

Froupie:
he had defensive lacerations on hispalms
(Mon Jan 12, 2004 - 12:23:51 pm)

Queenie:
and also he was stabbed twice. through his clothes.

Queenie:
even Kurt penned a several pages long note and he wasn't even half the poet. It all seems so fishy.
(Mon Jan 12, 2004 - 12:28:16 pm)

Froupie:
it is odd, but who knows.
(Mon Jan 12, 2004 - 12:29:02 pm)

Froupie:
a CSI shouldve figured it out, surely.
(Mon Jan 12, 2004 - 12:29:39 pm)

Queenie:
and if it was done in the heat of passion, during a fight as the girfriend claims, I'd think there'd be no note at all. Certainly not "sorry". Maybe "eat THIS, bitch" but not "sorry".
(Mon Jan 12, 2004 - 12:30:27 pm)

Queenie:
I guess we'll know eventually.
(Mon Jan 12, 2004 - 12:30:42 pm)

Froupie:
that post-it couldve been written anytime really

Queenie:
plus my one friend was with him shortly before he died and said he was living in filth and that this new girlfriend was a junkie and a bitch.
(Mon Jan 12, 2004 - 12:31:37 pm)

bela:
My sister's boyfriend knew him.
(Mon Jan 12, 2004 - 12:32:47 pm)

Froupie:
personally, i think she did it. surely even a severely depressed person wouldnt stab themselves twice in the chest.
(Mon Jan 12, 2004 - 12:32:47 pm)

Queenie:
I'm with you, froupie.
(Mon Jan 12, 2004 - 12:33:53 pm)

Froupie:
i mean, stabbing someone else is quite a hard thing to do anyway, so stabbing yourself must take a heck of a lot of willpower.

I can't help but think of this Stephen King speech I read recently, in which he was defending the validity of popular fiction writers, and how they more accurately portray truth than literary fiction writers. He gives the specific example of death scenes -- how in literary fiction, someone about to face death might say, "Farewell, mother...I'll love you always" or something, whereas in popular fiction, the guy would say, "OH SHIT!"

I can't help thinking that someone about to kill themselves in the heat of passion would never go out with "I'm so sorry, god forgive me" or whatever it was they say was on that post-it. At least...not in Stephen King's world, which, as was the point he was making in his speech, is more like the real world.

Have they analyzed the handwriting on the post it? It may be her handwriting.
(Mon Jan 12, 2004 - 12:48:34 pm)

Queenie:
all i've read is a transcription of the coroner's report, which said that she's the one who said, "Oh look what I found here on the table..yep, that's his writing, all right..."

i'm sure now they're on it like blue bonnet.

I heard that Stephen King speech a few months ago. He was trying to legitimize his body of work in the eyes of the literary establishment. I don't think he realized he was actually distancing himself even further by emphasing the difference between pop culture and literatire. His genre is already legitimized by many great classics, he just needs to write something literary. He's full of crap that one. Hey, that would make a great Stephen King story!

Queenie:
I think his goal really was to make sure that the foundation that gave him the medal didn't then say, "well, we've awarded the trash and got them off our backs, let's get back to the REAL writing..." and then proceed to ignore him and his peers for another decade. And I love the way he name-checked so many other popular fiction writers and said, "So and so just wrote his greatest book.... have any of YOU read it?" Stephen King rules. His book On Writing is an endless source of inspiration to me.

Coincidence?:
AS YOU AWAKEN you hear a clicking, chirping, buzzing or other noise not known to be caused by your radio, alarm clock or other conveniences noise, this appears to be a method of reducing your sleep time further for sleep deprivation by Stephen King to wear you down for and increase his ability to influence you for his agenda.
