Cupio dissolvi


Se devo essere sincera, durante la lettura di Infinite Jest ho spesso perso il filo. Ho adorato alcuni racconti, altri li ho trovati detestabilmente prolissi. Insomma, non era (è) il mio scrittore preferito. Ma c'era una cosa che me lo rendeva adorabile: il suo amore per la matematica.
Io a scuola avevo 9 in italiano e 8 in matematica, e non perché fossi secchiona, anzi (avevo 5 in latino, per dire, e qui mi urge ringraziare colui senza il quale il titolo di questo post non sarebbe stato tanto calzante). No, era perché la matematica, udite udite, mi piaceva. E non ho mai capito l'aut-aut "o le lettere o i numeri". Io credo che la matematica sia, come l'arte e la filosofia, un tentativo di dare forma definita al caos. E quindi uno scrittore appassionato di matematica tanto da scrivere un libro sull'infinito non poteva che ispirarmi simpatia.
E quando Amica A mi ha dato la notizia, dietro la risata isterica che ci ha colto c'erano veri sconcerto e sconforto.
Non sapevo cosa dire e non lo so bene nemmeno adesso. Mi viene solo da fare una domanda, di una banalità che a lui, che era l'antiovvietà, non rende giustizia: perché?

...e visse la sua vita non più in affitto, cosa fra le cose, l'anima della sua persona un tanto di vapore lassù in alto, che cade come pioggia e poi risale, il saliscendi del sole uno yo-yo
David Foster Wallace - Oblio

Questo quello che dicono sul NYTimes:

"His father said Sunday that Mr. Wallace had been taking medication for depression for 20 years and that it had allowed his son to be productive. It was something the writer didn’t discuss, though in interviews he gave a hint of his haunting angst.

James Wallace said that last year his son had begun suffering side effects from the drugs and, at a doctor’s suggestion, had gone off the medication in June 2007. The depression returned, however, and no other treatment was successful. The elder Wallaces had seen their son in August, he said.

“He was being very heavily medicated,” he said. “He’d been in the hospital a couple of times over the summer and had undergone electro-convulsive therapy. Everything had been tried, and he just couldn’t stand it anymore.”

E' tristissimo, sì.

Perchè quando muori sembra che esista solo una tua fotografia? Bah, misteri della cultura dell'immagine...
Vorrei ringraziare Viridian per il testo del NYT.

io avevo
Matematica: 9
Italiano: 8
Latino: 4
quindi eri più secchiona tu :P

cmq
"la matematica è poesia coerente dell'infinito"
(non ricordo chi abbia detto questo popò di frase, ma era un pezzo grosso grosso, vi assicuro)

Gesù, viridian, è più che tristissimo...

Grilloz, bella citazione. L'ho googlata ma non ho trovato di chi è. Sgrunt. Però ho trovato questa, di Victor Hugo:
"Non vi è alcuna incompatibilità fra l'esatto e il poetico. Il numero è nell'arte come nella scienza. L'algebra è nell'astronomia e l'astronomia confina con la poesia. L'anima dell'uomo ha tre chiavi che aprono tutto: la cifra, la lettera, la nota. Sapere, pensare, sognare."

However, the banking Internet sector has exploded in the past five years.

With the popularity of the Internet and the power it gives people to take control of their lives, many traditional banks have created banking Internet web pages where customers could transfer money, set up bill payments recurring or otherwise, quickly check items that have cleared, and many other functions that can be accessed 24 hours per day 7 days a week.

This is the truest form of banking Internet simply because these banks only exist online.

This is amazing and makes traveling a lot less stressful as well because with banking Internet you always know where your account stands.

Всем привет!

Недавно перед мной встала задача, куда деть накопишиеся [b]европоддоны[/b], или еще их называют [b]Паллеты[/b],
[b]Поддоны[/b], [b]Европаллет[/b]ы Размеры 800*1200, 1000*1200- Это [u]Тара Пром назначения[/u].
Немного предистории.
Сам я тружусь кладовщиком на складе. Нам приходит много продукции на [b]Европоддонах[/b],
товар продаем а поддоны остаются, у нас встал вопрос куда их девать.
Раньше мы их выкидывали.
Потом мне подсказали, что за поддоны можно получить деньги.
Начал обзванивать фирмы везде были цены маленькие,
потом знакомые мне подсказали, что в Челябинске есть такая Фирма "[b]Уралсклад[/b]",
около 10 лет на Рынке Промышленной Тары с прекрасной репутацией.
Я нашел их сайт в интернет - [url=http://www.uralsklad.ru]www.uralsklad.ru[/url] и позвонил по тел. +7(351) 233-07-14.
Буквально через час подъехал их представитель, Авто с Логотипом "[url=http://www.uralsklad.ru]Поддоны Челябинск[/url]".
Цены закупочные оказались самые высокие в г. Челябинске.
Все цивилизовано грузчики загрузили [b]Паллеты[/b] ешё и лом поддонов купили, расчитались на месте наличными.
Про другие фирмы я узнавал либо Цены низкие, либо Бракуют много, да и денег от них не дождешься.

Так что если у вас завалялись [b]европоддоны[/b], не торопитесь их выбрасывать, лучше обменяйте их на деньги.

Lighting up for the holidays is supposed to be fun, so don't just get lights that you can turn on; get lights that turn you on. The bulbs can be bought from any electrical store and even on the Internet. The much talked about drawback, the lack of evenly distributed light in LED lamps too has been now satisfactorily sorted out by Sharp with their proprietary coating technique of the glass enclosure.

Мне очень нужно ваше мнение и личный опыт...

Я встречалась с разнами парнями, но для меня так и осталось загадкой, кто должен платить на свидании.

Когда платят за меня,то чувстваю себя очень неуютно, а когда надо платить мне боюсь обидеть парня...Так что же делать что бы не быть альфонсом в женском теле и не быть кошельком?Когда нужно за себя или за нас платить, а когда нет?
