Auto response from Nickmac11 [11:07 PM]: "My brain is built of paths and slides and ladders and lasers and I have invited all of you to enter its pavilion. My brain, as you enter, will smell of tangerines and brand-new running shoes."
-Douglas Coupland.
messieJesse [11:07 PM]: k
messieJesse [11:08 PM]: i love that...
Nickmac11 [11:09 PM]: Yeah
messieJesse [11:10 PM]: the quote...that's such a cool thing...you know? like...if my brain could smell like something...what would it smell like?
Nickmac11 [11:10 PM]: Hmm...I think mine would be like the Appalachian Mountains
Nickmac11 [11:10 PM]: Kind of a pine but mountain scent
messieJesse [11:11 PM]: i think mine would smell like tea and used bookstores
Nickmac11 [11:11 PM]: Ooh...a book scent...like Border's....especially when you are in the section where the bookshelves go all the way up to the ceiling and there are just tables of books lying around
Nickmac11 [11:12 PM]: Old books are even better
Nickmac11 [11:12 PM]: Interesting question
Nickmac11 [11:12 PM]: Now you've got me seriously thinking about it
Nickmac11 [11:12 PM]: I have the next Blog entry!
messieJesse [11:12 PM]: damn! you stole mine!
Nickmac11 [11:12 PM]: I was just kind of rambling
messieJesse [11:12 PM]: i know...i love rambling
Nickmac11 [11:13 PM]: Hmmm...what would it smell like?
Nickmac11 [11:13 PM]: And what would you see?
Nickmac11 [11:13 PM]: Or, more precisely, what is it built of?
messieJesse [11:13 PM]: yeah....
Nickmac11 [11:13 PM]: SEE?! Douglas Coupland is a god
messieJesse [11:13 PM]: i don't know...
messieJesse [11:14 PM]: a thought-provoking god
Nickmac11 [11:14 PM]: Very much so...especially if you read Life After God. That book will mess you up for weeks
Nickmac11 [11:14 PM]: Well...it did me because of how thought provoking it is
Nickmac11 [11:14 PM]: Why don't I just lend you my entire Douglas Coupland library (I plan to get his book on Vancouver tomorrow at Border's)
Nickmac11 [11:15 PM]: There's only two books I don't have by him
messieJesse [11:15 PM]: works for me....I've really wanted to read more of his stuff
Nickmac11 [11:16 PM]: Let's see...Shampoo Planet and Life After God are his next best two...but since Shampoo Planet is really a copy of Microserfs, I'd go for Life After God
messieJesse [11:16 PM]: i see i see
Nickmac11 [11:16 PM]: This is the mark of a good author...one who can make you think about the strangest things such as what your brain would smell like and you can discuss it seriously
messieJesse [11:17 PM]: yes, indeed
Nickmac11 [11:17 PM]: I would kill to meet him
messieJesse [11:17 PM]: kill who?
Nickmac11 [11:17 PM]: Someone
Nickmac11 [11:18 PM]: Anyone except a select few, in which you are included ;)
messieJesse [11:18 PM]: :-)
messieJesse [11:18 PM]: i'm glad to know that
Nickmac11 [11:18 PM]: :)
Nickmac11 [11:19 PM]: Now you've got me thinking about who I wouldn't kill to meet Douglas Coupland. So far I have three people
Nickmac11 [11:19 PM]: I debating the fourth right now because I'm kind of upset with them
Nickmac11 [11:19 PM]: That sounds absolutely horrible
messieJesse [11:19 PM]: haha.
Nickmac11 [11:19 PM]: There are only three of my friends I wouldn't kill to meet Douglas Coupland. THREE!
messieJesse [11:20 PM]: wow
messieJesse [11:20 PM]: you sick freak
