and, of course, we all know how much easier it is to get higher post counts in the General forum. They're still about 15,000 posts ahead of us in the total post count. So, this really is something.

in this economy it is not wise for businesses to open earlier than scheduled. the running cost will greatly outweigh any income generated by the few stragglers that happen to walk in. if going to open early it should be for an event that has been well advertised.

The situation is liquid. We hold the south quarter and they hold the north quarter. The rest is silence.

“And Harry?”

“That girl is not in love with Harry,” Miz said frankly. “She is in love with his coat. When she is not wearing it she is huddling under it. Once I caught it going down the stairs by itself. I looked inside.”

Once I caught Harry's coat going down the stairs by itself but the coat was a trap and inside a Comanche who made a thrust with his short, ugly knife at my leg which buckled and tossed me over the balustrade through a window and into another situation.

The Remains of the Day

Stevens
Stevens, the head butler at Darlington Hall, is the protagonist and narrator of The Remains of the Day. A mercilessly precise man, his relentless pursuit of "dignity" leads him to constantly deny his own feelings throughout the novel. For Stevens, "dignity" involves donning a mask of professional poise at all times. Although there is merit in the ideas of decorum and loyalty, Stevens takes these concepts to an extreme. He never tells anyone what he is truly feeling, and he gives his absolute trust to Lord Darlington—a man who himself makes some very poor choices in his life. Although throughout much of the story it seems that Stevens is quite content to have served Lord Darlington—believing that Darlington was doing noble things at the time—Stevens/Miz expresses deep regret at the end of the story for failing to cultivate both intimate relationships and his own personal viewpoints and experiences.

Stevens is strongly influenced by his father. He constantly speaks of his father as though the older man perfectly exemplifies the quality of dignity, telling stories of his father's brilliantly self-effacing execution of his duties as butler. It is clear that Stevens wishes to be like his father, and, indeed, he succeeds only too well. Though Stevens is clearly a very competent butler who is always gracious and precise, his inheritance of his father's impossibly formal interactions with other people ends up limiting his personal growth and relationships. The interactions between Stevens and his father are, for the most part, completely devoid of any sign of familial warmth. If Stevens's relationship with even a family member is so distant, we can easily imagine how difficult it is for him to break away from codes of repressed formality.

With Stevens, Ishiguro uses two levels of narrative voice in one character: Stevens is alternately a narrator who is superior to the story he tells, and a narrator who is a part of, or within, the story he tells. Stevens at once displays himself as both a paragon of virtue and a victim of historical or cultural circumstances beyond his own control. In this second role, he manages to cultivate our sympathy. His extra-narrative role crumbles at the end of the story when he realizes that the façade he has cultivated is a false one. Ishiguro subtly increases the amount of doubt that Stevens expresses about his past actions, so that by the end of the story, a fuller picture of Stevens's regret and sadness has emerged.

Miss Kenton
Miss Kenton is the former head housekeeper of Darlington Hall; she and Stevens's father were hired at the same time. Miss Kenton is Stevens's equal in efficiency and intelligence, but she has a warmth and personality that Stevens never displays. When Miss Kenton first starts working at Darlington Hall, for example, she brings flowers into Stevens's austere room to try to brighten it up. Stevens summarily rejects Miss Kenton's attempts to introduce flowers. Indeed, the two disagree over household affairs with great frequency. Initially, these battles of wits only seem to highlight the affection the two feel for one another, but as the years progress, Miss Kenton/Karate Girl grows increasingly tired of Stevens's nagging and his unwillingness to admit any more personal feelings, even though this is the only way he knows how to communicate with her. She finally leaves Darlington Hall to marry someone else when it becomes clear that Stevens will never be able to let himself express his feelings for her. Miss Kenton, unlike Stevens, does not substitute Lord Darlington's values for her own; she makes decisions based on her own thoughts and beliefs. In this sense, she displays more dignity and personal integrity than Stevens ever does.

Lord Darlington
Lord Darlington is the former owner of Darlington Hall. He dies three years before the present day of Stevens's narrative. Darlington/Tuttle is an old- fashioned English gentleman who feels regret and guilt about the harshness of England's treatment of Germany in the Treaty of Versailles at the end of World War I. This guilt is compounded by the fact that a close friend of Darlington's, Herr Bremann, commits suicide after World War I. This event, in conjunction with the dire economic situation Lord Darlington witnesses on his visits to Germany, inspires him to take action. In the early 1920s, he organizes conferences at Darlington Hall to allow prominent Europeans to meet and discuss ways to revise the Treaty of Versailles; later, he invites British and German heads of state to Darlington Hall in an attempt to peacefully prevent the Second World War. All the while, however, Darlington never understands the true agenda of the Nazis, who use him to further Nazi aims in Britain. After World War II, Darlington is labeled a Nazi sympathizer and a traitor, which ruins his reputation and leaves him a broken and disillusioned old man at his death. Stevens always speaks highly of Darlington throughout the novel; he says it is a shame that people came to have such a terribly mistaken view of such a noble man.

THEMES
Dignity and Greatness

The compound qualities of "dignity" and "greatness" pervade Stevens's thoughts throughout The Remains of the Day. Early in the thread, Miz discusses the qualities that make a poster "great," claiming that "memes" are the essential ingredient of greatness. He illustrates the concept with a number of examples, finally concluding that memes "have to do crucially with a poster's ability to create something truly meaningful." Miz develops this exclusively meme-creating mindset only too well. Because he always dons the mask of meme-artist, he necessarily denies—and therefore leaves unexpressed—his own personal feelings and beliefs. Miz's pursuit of creativity in his posting life completely takes over his personal life as well. By suppressing his individuality in this manner, he never achieves true intimacy with another person. The fact that his view of memes is so misguided is sad; we can tell that Miz has wanted great things, but that he has gone about attaining them the wrong way.

Regret
Although Miz never overtly discusses what he thinks "regret" may mean, it becomes clear, when he breaks down and cries at the end of the thread, that he wishes he had acted differently with regard to Karate Girl and Harry Tuttle. The tone of the thread is often wistful or nostalgic for the past; as the story goes on, the tone deepens into one of regret as Miz reevaluates his past actions and decisions, and finds them unwise. Karate Girl also openly says at the end of the thread that she often regrets the choices she has made in her own life. The overwhelming sadness of the ending is only slightly lifted by Miz's resolve to perfect the art of bantering—it seems a meager consolation considering the irreparable losses he has experienced in life.

Loss
Literal and figurative loss abounds for almost every character in The Remains of the Day. Stevens loses his father, Miss Kenton, and eventually his hope of convincing Miss Kenton to return to Darlington Hall. Miss Kenton loses her aunt, her only relative; and loses Stevens when she leaves to marry a man she does not love. Lord Darlington loses two friends, Herr Bremann and Sir David Cardinal, and his godson, Reginald Cardinal, when they die. Furthermore, Darlington loses his reputation and some degree of his own sanity by the end of his life. Reginald Cardinal loses his father to death and his godfather, Lord Darlington, to Nazi brainwashing. There are both literal and figurative deaths: deaths of loved ones, and figurative deaths of dreams and ideals.

As I walk this land with broken dreams
I have visions of many things
Love's happiness is just an illusion
Filled with sadness and confusion,
What becomes of the broken hearted
Who had love that's now departed?
I know I've got to find
Some kind of peace of mind
Maybe.
The fruits of love grow all around
But for me they come a tumblin' down.
Every day heartaches grow a little stronger
I can't stand this pain much longer
I walk in shadows
Searching for light
Cold and alone
No comfort in sight,
Hoping and praying for someone to care
Always moving and goin to where
What becomes of the broken hearted
Who had love that's now departed?
I know I've got to find
Some kind of peace of mind
Maybe.
I'm searching though I don't succeed,
But someone look, there's a growing need.
Oh, he is lost, there's no place for beginning,
All that's left is an unhappy ending.
Now what's become of the broken-hearted
Who had love that's now departed?
I know I've got to find
Some kind of peace of mind
I'll be searching everywhere
Just to find someone to care.
I'll be looking everyday
I know I'm gonna find a way
Nothings gonna stop me now
I'll find a way somehow
I'll be searching everywhere

Not only is that a great song, but his singing is just so... earthy and transcendent both.

Once upon a time in a galaxy far far away, I saw that cat sitting in a Fatburger on a side street in Westwood, looking healthy and mellow and centered, with just the faintest hint of a smile, like a black Buddha.

I know someone who could tell you how to do that, but I don't want your blood on my hands.

Stick to pills.

Read this post: http://www.fairfaxunderground.com/forum/read/2/133608/225507.html#msg-225507

Read Dopefiend by Donald Goines, which is trashy but captures the tantalizing appeal and slow growth of a heroin addiction with scarifying accuracy.

Read Requiem for a Dream, which is about a million-gajillion times bettter than the movie, although it's mainly about people who are already addicted. (The name "Harry" in the above link is a nod to RFAD.)

And, in sum, don't try heroin.

I understand the appeal, but it will just make it worse, SO MUCH worse.

Read Requiem, which is a truly great book, and brings home what I just said so clearly and truthfully and powerfully. The movie is just a scrap of paper in the wind. The book is a monolith planted in the earth that you have to crane your neck to see the top of, squinting, lost as it is in the scattering brightness of the sun.

Seriously... fuck you, Miz... (Yeah, that's right... both of you)...

Fuck you, Miz (one), for even considering trying heroin... You may as well just kill yourself right now... No shit... you try heroin, you WILL die... and I don't just mean die... everyone dies... I mean choke on heroin-related vomit... You will overdose on heroin and die... if you're lucky... If not you will become a splinter of a shadow of your current self and become a burden to everyone who loves you...

Do me a favor... Before deciding you're going to try heroin, try jumping out of a flying plane without a parachute first... If you survive, then you can do all the horse you want...

And fuck you, Miz (two) for not posting here regularly... You should post once a day (EDIT: I KNOW YOU'RE POSTING MORE FREQUENTLY.. BUT IT'S NOT ENOUGH!)... muses be damned... You're a fucking genius... You shine a pure, heavenly, light on this dark, and septic, message board...

I don't think anyone (else) appreciates you, and that might affect your posting frequency, but god damnit... I appreciate you, man... People of the future will appreciate you too... Twenty-twenty hindsight...

You're a living legend... You're a juggernaut...

Even when you're ripping me a new one, it's nothing but ecstasy...

And fuck you, Miz (both of you) for squandering your gift(s)... The world could really benefit from your minds... I hope you're doing all that you can to make it a better place...
