November meme Day 5 & 6
Nov. 9th, 2009 11:50 amDay 05 → Your favorite quote
I rarely read a book and think "wow, this really means something beyond the context it was written in"... shallow much? :) But this quote stuck with me, maybe because it's a testament to how human mind bends and molds and adapts to reality it finds itself in. I have a really long and ranty theory about this and women and African-Americans and understanding what your rights are and a self-debate over whether your mind is helping you adapt or betraying you into submission... but, you don't really need to heat that :D
It's from the end of Imre Kertezs' book "Fateless" (not a misspell) and it didn't take me long at all to find the English translation so I guess it's somewhat known. (the quote, not the book, the book -he- got a Nobel prize so, yeah, famous :) )
The book is, yet again, about a 15yo boy in Auschwitz and his almost death and last second rescue.
"Even back there, in the shadow of the chimneys, in the breaks between pain, there was something resembling happiness. Everybody will ask me about the deprivations, the ‘terrors of the camps,’ but for me, the happiness there will always be the most memorable experience, perhaps."
Day 06 → Whatever tickles your fancy
My nerd, let me show you it.
This is the Eye of Horus:
As an Egyptian hieroglyph it has a story and meaning of its own, and though I find it fascinating, this memebit isn't about that part. This is about math. Which I hate :D But eh, the eye intrigues me :)

Arithmetics.

my posting wasn't working for a while there.
As I was saying :) I watched all of Australian Idol, (in .flv, so I skipped most of it) and Pete was massively too kind to them. They were horrible, even the best of them wasn't all that good but the other two just plain sucked. And yet he found something nice to say about every one of their performances. You're a better person than I am, Pete Wentz.
