Die Zeiten ändern sich, manchmal schnell. Noch am 8. August 2024, also vor einem halben Jahr, warb ich hier für den Abbruch, das nicht zu Ende Lesen von Büchern, am Beispiel von dreien solcher. Zu schön war der Sommer und zu deprimierend, zu anstrengend, zu weltfremd oder einfach nur zu lang waren die Werke. Seitdem haben wir lange vergessene Habitus (← Mehrzahl, sagt Google!) wiedererlernen müssen, das Anziehen von Anoraks zum Beispiel oder dass es erst früh um 10 hell wird, so ein bisschen und 15:00 Uhr wieder düster. Stockfinster wurde es tageszeitübergreifend dann plötzlich am 5. November 2024. Nachdem seit diesem verhängnisvollen Tag die, wie wir mittlerweile sicher sein können, faschistische Machtübernahme in den USA läuft und ähnliches hierzulande dräut, haben wir also alle das Doomscrolling wiedererlernt, man will keine Nachricht, keine Schweinetat, keine Unmenschlichkeit verpassen, um dann altklug und rechthaberisch den Kopf zu schütteln. Irgendwann jedoch schmerzt das Genick und man denkt wieder drüber nach, in Fantasiewelten zu fliehen, fühlt sich aber auch ein bisschen schuldig, im Angesicht der Diktatur des Bösen, komplett abzuschalten.Da erinnert man sich plötzlich, da war doch jemand, damals im August, als es noch hell war, dem es damals schon so schlecht mit der Welt ging, vielleicht weiß der ja Rat. Wie hieß er noch, es war der tollste Name der Welt, genau, Shalom Auslander, dem ging es so schlecht in "Feh", dass ich mir davon nicht die Laune verderben lassen wollte und das Buch weglegte. Geschrieben hatte er es vor der Pandemie von 2020 (man sollte sich langsam angewöhnen, die Dinger zu spezifizieren), also in einer Zeit voller fun in the sun für uns - nicht so für Shalom. Fünf Jahre später lebt man selbst in dunklen Zeiten und wir alle gehören jetzt zur Zielgruppe des Buches. Also habe ich "Feh" tatsächlich zu Ende gelesen. Die Stories darin waren schon damals gut, das war nicht mein Problem und die Verzweiflung an der Welt, damals, im August noch als übertrieben empfunden, ist nun auch die meine. Woran Auslander vor allem leidet ist, dass die Menschen so unachtsam oder einfach "not nice" sind. Ja, ich sehe das jetzt auch so. Bisher war meine Meinung: "Ja, wir alle sind das mal", aber ich war sicher, alle Leserinnen von "Lob und Verriss", so als Querschnitt durch die Gesellschaft, geben sich Mühe das so selten wie möglich zu sein. Was sich seitdem verändert hat, in die Welt gekommen zu sein scheint oder einfach nur an die Oberfläche gespült wurde, ist eine systemische Brutalität. Nicht nur die übliche Gedankenlosigkeit, der Alltagsrassismus, -klassismus, -antifeminismus, whathaveyou, nein, das Pendel schwingt zurück. Brutal. Und Shalom Auslander hatte das schon im Blick, damals, prepandemisch. Also konnte er es damals schon analysieren und, na klar, nichts lässt sich auf ein Problem, ein System, ein Gift zurückführen, aber Auslander meint sich konzentrieren zu müssen auf die Hauptursacher der ganzen Kacke: die "Religion", genauer, die des Alten Testaments. Und tatsächlich, da wird aktuell zum Beispiel von einem Möchtegernintelektuellen, der sich in die luftigen Höhen des Vizepräsidialamtes der US of A hochgebumst hat, die olle Schwarte und ihre Interpretatoren zu scheinheiligen Argumentationen herangezogen, nämlich, dass es eine "Reihenfolge der Barmherzigkeit" gäbe, no s**t, das stehe schon in der Bibel. Nun, da steht alles Mögliche drin und so nimmt er halt dieses Mal das Prinzip "ordo amoris" (don't google it) und macht daraus "Ausländer raus". Der F****r. Wie kann man die Bibel so falsch lesen, fragt man sich, wenn man den Spruch gegoogelt hat (ich sagte "Don't google it"!). "Duh!", sagte Auslander, wie wir jetzt wissen, wo wir das Buch zu Ende gelesen haben, "It's a feature, not a bug". Die Bibel als Lehrbuch der Barmherzigkeit? "Geh mir weg!", argumentiert Shalom im Buch. Wo in der f*****g Bibel kommt Gott als "barmherzig" davon? Die Sintflut, bei der im Grunde nur Noah übrig blieb? Sodom und Gomorra, wo Gott direkt zwei komplette Städte ausradierte, weil, falsch gefickt? Wenn man sich diesen kleingeistigen Shithead zum Vorbild nimmt, kommt ziemlich exakt das raus, was man in den USA gerade an realer Politik sieht und was sich die CDU/CSU, als arschkriechende Nachahmer, interessiert sabbernd anschauen.Leider ist das Buch noch nicht übersetzt, aber seine kleinen moralischen Gleichnisse und Geschichten sind in leicht verdaulichem Englisch verfasst und man erfährt nebenbei noch ein bisschen Hollywood-Gossip. Es gibt herzzerreißende Stories von seinem Freund Philip Seymour Hoffman und einen sehr geheimnisvollen Beef mit Paul Rudd. Und am Ende einen Hauch Hoffnung. Irre.Schon lange unter dem Titel "Corvus" auf Deutsch erschienen war das zweite im August weggelegte Buch. Im Original hieß es "Fall; or, Dodge in Hell", geschrieben von Neal Stephenson und natürlich ist auch das Ding jetzt wieder ganz oben auf der Leseliste gelandet, schließlich verbraten im Buch Tech-Bros absurde Mengen an Ressourcen um für die Mehrheit der Menschen unnützen Scheiß zu machen - wo haben wir das schon mal gehört? Für den theoretischen Überbau dieser inhumanen Kacke, sprich, des sich Konzentrieren auf die Probleme einer fernen Zukunft, statt der realen Schwierigkeiten im Hier und Jetzt, habe ich letztens schon diesen Vortrag empfohlen, der mir erst bei Wiederaufnahme der Lektüre wieder einfiel, beschreibt er doch sehr verständlich die absurden aber tatsächlichen, realen Gedanken der aktuell unser aller Leben bestimmenden Multimilliardäre. In der Fiktion von Stephenson gibt es diese F****r auch, auch diese wollen eine Erde ohne Menschen, wenn auch irgendwie "positiver", vielleicht auch nur (vom Autor) unreflektierter. Aus irgendeinem Grund muss das Buch ja für Neal Stephenson Verhältnisse gefloppt sein. Aber da die real existierenden Arschlöcher, die Musks, Horowitzs, Thiels nicht genug bekommen können von Science Fiction und Fantasy und völlig ungeniert ihre Milliardenbuden nach absolut negativ konnotierten Fantasyobjekten wie z.B. Palantir, benennen, ist es fast Pflichtlektüre, die aktuellen Vorlagen mal nicht nur unter dem Unterhaltungsaspekt zu konsumieren sondern als Forschung, um zu erkennen, was in den kranken Köpfen der Superreichen aktuell so an Plänen für uns Biomasse heranreifen könnte. Also bin ich jetzt doch wieder dran am Werk und nebenbei ist Stephenson natürlich immer noch ein brillanter Schriftsteller und "Fall"/"Corvus", wenn auch viermal zu lang, super zu lesen, wenn man sich die Zeit nimmt und nicht erwartet einem gefühlt 4000-Seiten-Roman (ok, 1153 im deutschen) zu 100% folgen zu können.Und was ist aus dem dritten Buch in der Reihe der Nicht-zu-Ende gelesenen geworden? Taffy Brodesser-Akners "Long Island Compromise"? Ja, das habe ich auch zu Ende gelesen und es hat sich als das beste der drei herausgestellt und als ein wichtiges zudem. Das war nicht wirklich abzusehen und da es am 10. März 2025 unter dem Titel "Die Fletchers von Long Island" auf deutsch erscheint, bekommt es aus diesem Anlass eine eigene Rezension. Sie wird überschrieben sein mit "Wir müssen über den Holocaust sprechen" - also wie gewohnt ein Brüller vom Herrn Falschgold.Bis dahin, genauer bis zum 16. März 2025, verbleibt Derselbige.P.S. Als konkrete Lebenshilfe für Winterdeprimierte empfehle ich aktuell das Hören (!) des "Zauberberg 2" von Heinz Strunk. Die Jahreszeit passt und wer nicht spontan in hysterisches Lachen ausbricht, wenn der Heinz von der Therapiegruppe im Sanatorium erzählt und schief singt:The river she's flowing, Flowing and growing, The river she's flowing, Back to the sea.Mother Earth carrying me, Your child I will always be, Mother Earth carrying me, Back to the sea.dem geht's nicht schlecht genug.

Requiem.Based on a post by FinalStand, in 13 parts. Listen to the ► Podcast at Explicit Novels. Once more, our esteemed academic Captain, Dr. Pierre O'Rourke Jean-Georges, led us through a rather confused and unhappy post-game liturgy in honor of; well in support of racial unity, I guessed. It was really hard to tell with the way he would ramble off-point every few minutes. The Football Team was in chairs on the floor of the gym with the Cheer Squad and Student Government. The rest of the student body was squeezed into the bleachers; very cozy.The Special Investigator also spoke briefly to the assembly, asking for our help on the case. The school was also hiring a 'Racial Grievance Counselor' who was, surprise, surprise, Dr. Nubia Franklin Jean-Georges; our Principal's wife. I was kind of curious who was making the school system pony up the money for her services as well as precisely when the 'interview' process had taken place.‘I wonder if she's qualified,' Kaelyne whispered.‘I wonder where they are going to stick her,' Vicky mused.‘Oh, I imagine she is going to get 'stuck' alright,' Mikhail snickered beneath his hand. Oh yeah, she was statuesque, smart, Black and projected complete confidence; right up my youngest triplets' alley.‘Ow,' he play-protested after Kaelyne smacked him.‘I did that for Taliyah,' she declared.‘She'll appreciate that,' I promised.‘I know she will,' Kaelyne smiled at me. After that disastrous Monday, Taliyah had been making steady headway in gaining Kaelyne's forgiveness which showed both her character (it was the right thing to do) and smarts (fear of my Mom).‘So; Alexander, what kind of bathing suit should I wear tomorrow?' Vicky teased our eldest.‘One made out of edible body paint,' he turned and winked. ‘Big Bob is gone all weekend to some Sheriff's convention in Miami, Florida. He goes to it every year.' Alexander being sexy-nice to Vicky was Also a good sign for our upcoming weekend.A withering glance from the Coach stilled our conversation. It was bad enough we were 'disrespecting' Darius' shindig. Our team had gotten their asses handed to them tonight in a game they should have won even without our star Running Back. It was easy to see having his father face criminal charges and loss of employment had shaken up Rashaan.His first outing as Team Captain had been a disaster; and now he had to sit here and listen to the various tributes to the guy he'd failed to replace instead of going anywhere else and getting shit-faced drunk and laid. The prognosis for both were pretty grim too,; what with the law enforcement being extra vigilant and the Cheer Squad being surprisingly inattentive to the Football Team's needs; which he was also getting blamed for.Darius had not only provided his players with victories, he had provided them status and perks as the premier athletes at school with the heritage of multiple highly successful teams being handed to them. Everyone 'looked the other way' because they were on the Football Team. All the girls wanted to be with them. Their parties always had plenty of alcohol and weed. They got good grades with minimal, if any, studying. Life had been good.Rashaan was having a horrific time maintaining that legacy. Not only could he not supply for his team, he couldn't even keep his own house in order. He had gone from 'three' hot-ass bitches (running true to type, the BBCs still refused to believe Taliyah had left him for Mikhail a week ago but now she, Sultana Berry and Randi Leigh Upshaw were openly gone) to none.Sure, they could still get 2nd and 3rd tier 'skanks', but just seeing all that prime booty walking around and knowing it Should be theirs and wasn't really bothered those student-athletes. A further complication was that under Darius, he kept the prime cunt specifically regulated both coming and going. That way the boys didn't have to worry about condoms, pregnancies and STDs.He kept the players clean by keeping the mouths, asses and vaginas they were fucking clean. No player stuck his cock into an unauthorized hole because if you did, Darius would destroy you. The object was to fuck who you wished in a safe hunting ground. Rashaan couldn't keep that level of discipline among either the women, or his own teammates.Rashaan also couldn't keep the booze and weed freely flowing. Darius hadn't shared his drug pipeline and wasn't likely to. Rashaan wasn't even trusted with the names of the entities capable and willing to buy and distribute alcohol to the under 21 crowd, plus Sheriff Big Bob's deputies were on the lookout for such shenanigans; more than happy to slap the cuffs on anyone 'Contributing to the Delinquency of a Minor'.As a final blow, his dad was no longer Chief of Police. Sure, he was being promised that ruling would soon be reversed; but for Rashaan, it was yet another blow landing at an unfortunate time. His problems weren't mine, and I had more than enough of my own. He'd have to sink, or swim, on his own.We were released at 10:37 pm; far past the time for any of us to have any fun. The Cheer Squad angled for us as we left the bleachers with Taliyah looking particularly livid. A few football players were making a nuisance of themselves, but I sensed her troubles ran deeper.‘Hey, Betty Jo,' one of our linemen tried to separate out the pale-haired blonde, ‘let's head out and party.' Two more moved to put a wall between my brothers and her.‘I'm tired,' she complained.‘You'll feel better soon,' he promised.‘Without your help,' I grumbled. I wedged between the two, they put their hands on me and then Mikhail and Alexander drove fingers into each of their Solar Plexus. With them temporarily gasping for air, we put a perimeter around the other ladies while I put an arm around Betty Jo's waist.‘Boy,' the athlete hissed, ‘you best let go of this piece of ass.'Betty Jo's eyes flashed from him to me, caught between shame and hunger.‘I'm not a boy, your boy, or anyone, but my parent's boy,' I hardened. ‘I'd appreciate it you never demean Betty Jo like you just did either.'‘Is there a problem?' a White Deputy working his way through the crowd called out.‘This ain't over, Peckerwood,' the lineman snarled under his breath.‘Thanks for the warning, Dumbo,' I mocked him. He had big ears.‘It is Greg, Shithead,' he corrected me angrily.‘Separate; you two,' the Deputy demanded.‘Yes, officer,' I backed off. I had the girl which was the important thing.‘Vlad?' Brandy cuddled up to me as we left the auditorium.‘All's good,' I assured her. ‘Normal threats and insults. Nothing more.'‘Betty Jo; are you okay?' she turned her attention to the woman I was escorting along.‘Oh, I'm okay. Greg wanted to talk with me, but I'm not really interested in him anymore,' and then she smiled over at Alexander.‘He doesn't do it you for anymore?' Brandy teased.‘Who?' Betty Jo pursed her lips.‘Greg; the defensive tackle.'‘Oh him!' she seemed surprise. She was Alondra's cross-racial twin alright. ‘Yeah. He and the other guys just want to push and pump me; it feels so; boring really.'‘Not like Alexander?' Brandy led her along.‘Oh no!' she exulted. ‘Alexander makes me feel all tingly; and he doesn't call me bitch, or whore, or nothing like that,' she tacked on.The crowd was dissipating as we moved into the Parking Lot.Alexander was in the lead with Vicky and Alondra on either side should he need support. Mikhail was slightly detached off to my left, arm around Taliyah, deep in conversation with her. His normal cheerful carelessness was gone, replaced by a serious mein. Kaelyne was behind Alex, with the other cheerleaders spread out between us. At the rear of our clump, herding us along, was; Mom and Jewel; huh?They were chatting amiably, one adult to another, not a teenager to a mother. That worried me for reasons I couldn't pinpoint. A little tug from Brandy reminded me where I was suppose to be paying attention.‘Some of the girls are coming over tonight,' she murmured seductively.‘The only one I want to be with is you,' I frowned.A million mega-lumens-bright smile flashed across Brandy's face.‘Not bored with me?'‘How would that ever even be possible?' I gasped.More pure, unfiltered happiness from my Lady.‘You make me very happy, Vlad,' she snuggled in.‘Ditto, Princess,' I kissed the top of her head.‘Hey,' Betty Jo interrupted. ‘Are you anything like your brother?' (?? because, ya know, we were only identical triplets??)‘We are triplets, Betty Jo,' I instructed. ‘We are identical; in all physical regards.'‘Does that mean your dick is just as big?' she asked with innocent intent.‘Yes,' Brandy confirmed. ‘Yes, it is.'‘Oh; nice,' she smiled at Brandy.‘Betty Jo, why don't we get your stuff and head out?' Brandy suggested. Betty Jo left my side with that smile still on her lips. ‘Will I see you tonight?' Brandy directed my way.‘I'll try,' I grinned.‘Okay,' she winked then off she went to round up the others. Mikhail brushed passed me, going the other way; toward Mom.‘I'll be hanging out with Taliyah tonight, Mom,' he addressed our maternal unit.‘Is there a problem?' she studied him. Jewel was silently observant.‘I'm eighteen, tomorrow isn't a school day and I don't have any chores to do I'm aware of,' he ticked off his salient points.‘Why don't you say 'hello' to Ms. Lafontanté?' Mom was falsely polite.‘Hey, Jewel,' his words were brutally sparse of emotion.‘Hey, Mikhail,' she was somewhat amused.‘Hey, Vlad,' she was a tad more polite toward me.‘Hello, Jewel,' I projected much more civility than my brother. If Mom found it necessary to chat with Jewel, it was worth all our time to be more polite and Mikhail should have known better.‘Jewel, please give me a moment with my youngest,' Mom separated from that imposing young lady and walked five steps away with Mikhail.‘I'm glad we didn't have a misunderstanding last night,' I proffered.‘Why?' Jewel tilted her head and appeared to dissect my every word and move.‘Violence without purpose is beyond wasteful; it is stupid and the product of nonadaptive minds,' I stated.‘I don't recognize the quote,' she smiled after a moment.‘It is a Vladimir original,' I smiled back.‘I think I could have taken you,' she added.I had to think over that for a few seconds myself.‘Is that what you were talking to Mom about; asking to come over to our house and spar?'‘Perhaps; that and a few other things,' she allowed.Mom was coming back. Mikhail was going off with Taliyah. Why? I didn't know.‘Night Ms. Lafontanté,' Mom nodded.‘Good night, Ms. Samsonov. Night Vlad.'‘Night Jewel and; you would have lost,' I affirmed as I turned to leave.There was no reply. Before we split up; I was going back home with Alexander; she was hanging around until Dad finished up and dismissed the other Deputies; Mom gave me a shoulder 'bump'.‘Nice one,' she grinned up at me.‘Huh?'‘With Jewel.'‘She thought she could take me with a rattan practice weapon and I thought to dissuade her of that delusion,' I explained. It was the truth after all.‘Girls like Jewel; don't take 'no', or 'you can't do that' for an answer, Vlad,' she enlightened me.‘Even when it is the truth?'‘Especially if it is the truth,' she smirked. ‘Girls like Jewel want to change the World, not accept anyone's assignment for them in it.'‘Well; she is Mikhail's problem, not mine. He's hot for her. I'm perfectly happy with Brandy.'If only that was the way the World worked;Cheer Squad (12 Girls: 4 Black, 6 White and 2 Mixed)The Black girls were;·         Sultana Berry (Very Light fawn complexion).·         Vantrice Kirby (Very Dark umber complexion), (hair dyed florescent red-black striped, shoulder-length hair).·         Alondra Lamb (Very Light tawny complexion).·         Taliyah Malik; the Co-Captain.The White girls were;·         Brandy Crystal Carson is Co-Captain.·         Amber Lee Huffington, (Brunette hair).·         Mia Ryker, (blonde hair).·         Misty Dawn Sizemore, (Russet hair).·         Betty Jo Starling, (Blonde hair).·         Randi Leigh Upshaw, (Brunette hair).The mixed girls were;·         Le 'Pearl' Yates; (Raven-haired, half-Vietnamese/half-Black·         Noémie Lucie Desdunes (Creole) Zulu Princess Posse·         Jewel 'C. S.' Lafontanté·         Dana Owens·         Régine Hunt·         Maxine Shaw·         Shayla Karen White·         Sunny Cobb·         Lana Michelle Moore (the token white girl)Saturday: The Flashpoint.Note:  currently, Vlad is dating Brandy Crystal Carson {the Sheriff's daughter} and Mikhail is dating Taliyah Malik {the Madam Mayor's daughter} while Alexander remains somewhat unattached.)I wasn't able to make it to the Carson household Friday night, though I did learn about the reason Mikhail did: Thursday night the Malik family had begun to implode. Mamma Malik had gone to a separate bedroom; and locked the door. Papa Malik hadn't taken that well, deciding to bury himself in alcohol as an appropriate response. That had been Taliyah's Friday morning. A series of late-afternoon blistering communication exchanges with her parents hadn't helped much.I resolved to make it up to Brandy by going over early ~as in 7:00 a.m. on a Saturday morning, early; and waking her with kisses. She'd told me the passkey for the home's security system (and 'yes', it had been changed after she dumped Darius for me, just in case).I got there; and the Living Room looked like it needed more than a little cleaning. Pizza boxes and soda cans were strewn about the place. Apparently, Brandy and company hadn't gone straight to bed last night..From what I'd already been told, she had Taliyah (Malik), Noémie Lucie Desdunes, Amber Lee Huffington, Alondra Lamb, Misty Dawn Sizemore and Betty Jo Sterling already here. The other five members of the Cheer Squad would be arriving later this morning and all were planning on spending tonight (Saturday night).Noémie Lucie, Amber Lee and Misty Dawn were strong supporters of the Brandy and Taliyah co-captaincy of the Cheer Squad, so that explained their presence. Alondra and Betty Jo were here out of worry the members of the Football Team might try to 'kidnap' them, once they were off school grounds: so safety measures had been taken.With Robert 'Big Bob' Carson, the County Sheriff, away for the weekend at a Law Enforcement convention in Miami, Florida, he had wisely deposited at least one Samsonov guarding his northwestern Arkansas home last night. Surprisingly, Mikhail had sensed Taliyah's soul-hurt about the situation and wanted to be there for her. He'd put his burgeoning playboy tendencies aside when she really need him. His transformation last night had surprised both me and, to some degree, my Mom, Gayle Fonteneau Samsonov.No one was awake in the house yet. From the rich aroma wafting from the Kitchen, I could tell the automatic coffeemaker had already prepared a full pot and was keeping it warm. I dropped my book bag; sans books, but with a change of clothes, two swimsuits and a few other 'gifts from Mom'; by the sofa first, then began transferring plates and glasses from the Living Room to the dishwasher in the Kitchen. I thought I heard someone out on the front porch.No one knocked, so I finished the trip to the kitchen. I was on the way back when I was pretty sure I heard someone trying to get in; with no luck. You had to be a pretty stupid thief to try and break into the County's chief Law Dog's domicile, even if he was currently out of town. Then there were the four cars and two electric-blue with yellow lightning bolts KTM 690 Enduro R's motorbikes (mine and Mikhail's) in the driveway and front lawn for Pete's sake. It wasn't like the house looked deserted.Seeking the Carsons.Someone rang the doorbell. I wasn't sure how to take that. A quick double-check revealed the door had a spy hole and there was a security screen further into the room. I made use of the spy hole since it was closer. The object on the other side was the best disguised house burglar I'd ever seen, or heard about. I opened up the door, a sappy smile plastered to my slightly flushed face. At the last second I thought to shove my hard-on to the side in a doomed attempt to make it less obvious.‘Hello, how may I help you?' I greeted the gorgeous, mature, platinum-blonde feminine bombshell standing before me.‘Do the Carson's still live here?' she appeared distressed.‘Oh, yes Ma'am,' I bobbled my head. ‘Hi. I'm Vladimir Samsonov. The owner is out right now and I'm here for a party being thrown by his daughter, my girlfriend, Brandy.'Her face transformed from confusion and worry to secret amusement.‘It is a pleasure to meet you, Vladimir,' she put forth her hand. I gladly took this elegant, graciously offered extension of her luscious form. I ended up kissing her knuckles instead of shaking it as I understood that was the Southern Gentlemanly thing to do to a lady. Her eyes twinkled as she added, ‘I'm Jodi May Memphis Carson; Brandy's my daughter.'My heart caught in my throat. From what little I knew, a few months back, Brandy's Mom had run off with the previous Senior Deputy; Big Bob's #2 Man; a Black 'gentleman'; and Big Bob was still pissed about it. I'd never broached the subject with Brandy.So, how upset was Big Bob? Well, I hadn't recognized his gorgeous wife because Big Bob had taken all pictures of her down around the place and Brandy never talked about her. That was a pity because she was an absolute beauty. Her name and history would definitely explain the luggage she had with her too.No car was in evidence which suggested she'd arrived via hitchhiking, or taxi. There was no one outside expecting money, or checking to see if she was okay;‘Please,' I stepped aside. ‘Come on in. Don't worry about your luggage. I'll get it.'‘Thank you,' she stepped inside. ‘That is very gentlemanly of you.' Points for me!With two over-stuffed dress bags, two large suitcases and a roll-on, I definitely felt overburdened, and I was certainly getting my weight training in for this morning, but following Mrs. Carson into the house made all but one of my physical aches go away. I was certain she was talking to me.What she actually said; I had no idea. She had on this contour-hugging, pale lavender skirt and a white, nearly-transparent imitation Peasant blouse with a black mesh bra underneath. This was above unadorned, creamy-tanned calves and white, open-toed heels (4 inches maybe?). Her finger- and toe-nails were a dazzling, pale pink to accent the ensemble.With the way her hips rolled when she walked, each step made her firm ass bounce just a tad which also just happened to accentuate the luscious lines of those exquisite calves and thighs (what I could see of them). Her hair boiled down to her mid-back like a wild torrent of molten gold. I swear to God, I had this unnatural impulse to push her over the back of the sofa and fuck the ever-living soul out of her.‘Vladimir? Vlad?' Jodi May addressed me. Apparently she'd been asking me one, or more, questions while I had been daydreaming. She'd stopped and twisted at the hip so she could look at me. Her salacious twist of the lips and carnivorous eyes told me she knew exactly why I hadn't answered her and where my mind had wandered off to.‘I; I apologize, Mrs. Carson.'‘Call me Jodi May,' she purred.‘Wha-ha, Yes Ma'am!' I nodded vigorously.‘I was asking I thought Brandy was dating Darius Pope. What happened to him?'Ice flushed thru my veins and my brain re-engaged. She'd known about Brandy and Darius; to some degree anyway; and she'd run off with a Big Black Cock-Monster herself. As a mature woman, she was a 10+, but as a Mother, in my book, she wasn't rating so high all of a sudden.‘So you were aware Darius Pope treated your daughter like a cum dumpster?' my countenance hardened. ‘She was handed about the team for all of them to use?'I could see it in her eyes; the comprehension; the denial; the creation of some fantasy which allowed her to carry on with the illusion she'd done no wrong.‘All White men think that way,' she settled on an imperious frown. ‘Darius loves my daughter.'‘And he's got the copious amount of humiliating footage to prove me right too,' I glared. ‘Or would have had if my family not intervened. Now Brandy has someone who truly loves her and wants to protect her from predators who would treat her as nothing more than three nameless orifices, a smoking hot body and a pretty face.'‘As it currently stands, it turns out Darius pissed off one too many folks and somebody decided to beat the ever-living crap out of him and six of his boys; all at the same time. Darius ended up crippled, maybe for life. He is currently hospitalized, undergoing reconstructive surgery on both his knees; in Little Rock. That doesn't matter because by the time Darius got his, I'd already convinced Brandy she was better off with me and she's stuck with me ever since,' I concluded.‘Poor Darius,' Memphis grew all concerned, nostalgic and misty-eyed. Yep, Darius had fucked Brandy's Mom as well. A quick information rewind had me recalling this convention of Big Bob's was a 'yearly thing', making the return of his runaway wife to his stoop rather conveniently timed.‘Where do I put your bags?'That brought her back to the here-and-now and looking at me, not through me.‘I imagine the Master Suite might be a tad inappropriate,' I stated factually.‘Young man,' she studied me, ‘this is still my house and I'll hang my clothes were I wish.'‘Absolutely, Mrs. Carson,' I nodded. ‘It is just placing them in the Master Bedroom comes with a complementary call to your husband; in Miami; while doing so in the Guest Room, the one at the other end of the house (because this house had Three), comes with some forbearance. By all means; decide away. After all; it is your house.'‘How do you think Brandy will feel about you threating her Mamma this way?' she pouted remarkably like her daughter.‘She won't give a damn,' I gave back nothing.‘My daughter and I had a better understanding of; things,' she turned all hurt and aggrieved. 'Things' like Mamma's infidelity and running off with a Black stud; because Brandy was lying to her father about getting some of her own at school.‘Things a White boy wouldn't understand,' she dug in her claws.‘Possibly,' I shrugged. Her shit was getting heavy. ‘I'd appreciate it if you would make your decision now. I was planning on cleaning up down here before waking Brandy with a few 'good morning' kisses. I can top that off with the knowledge you are here as well.'‘Put my things in the; far; Guest Room,' she motioned in the proper direction with a head toss. ‘I'll wake my daughter. I'm sure she has missed me.'‘Good choice,' I nodded. ‘Here is a piece of unsolicited advice. Your family hasn't picked up an automotive fetish in your absence; your daughter has friends over for the weekend, so making a commotion might by; unfortunate.'My information perplexed her.‘She is probably alone,' Mamma Carson hazarded.‘Unlikely. Taliyah was pretty upset last night so I'm willing to bet they crashed out with my brother; in the Master Suite while the five others are in the Game Room making use of the three sofas, sleeping bags and bear skin rug,' I hypothesized right back.‘Brother?' she worked out from all that information.‘Please come along with me while I explain,' and off I went. Reluctantly, the delinquent Mamma followed. Mind you, the far Guest Room was hardly a hardship being 12'x18' with a queen-sized canopy bed, walk-in closet and 72' wall-mounted TV. The counter-top space was minimal and the bathroom was down the hall, but since this wasn't the sleep-occupancy part of the dwelling, it was pretty much hers alone.‘As I said 'I'm Vladimir Samsonov'. My Mom and Dad are Gayle and Nicolay Samsonov. He is the new Senior Deputy and has over two decades of experience with the Alaska Highway Patrol and a legacy of law enforcement going back hundreds of years.'‘Of greater importance to you, no doubt, is that my Mom is Gayle Fonteneau Samsonov, heir to the Fonteneau fortune and estate; which is what brought us to town; my Great-Aunt Matilda's death and her Willing us the whole deal,' I gave Jodi May Memphis the 4-1-1.‘Oh,' she pursed her lips. ‘How is the 'town' handling this?'‘What?'‘The return of Gayle Fonteneau?' she inquired. She was in the closet, hanging up what she needed to while I was in the room, ass resting on the bed.‘Why do you think they would be upset?'‘Let's just say Gayle and her crazy brother didn't leave Kingston on the best of terms,' she evaded.‘I already know about my Mom's rape and the town's denial. I know my Uncle Theo went into Kingston, found four of those bastards and beat them so badly none ever fully recovered. I know the Mayor and Great-Aunt Matilda struck a bargain so that Uncle Theo stayed out of jail. I know the Mayor has passed-on, as has my Great-Aunt. I know my Mother hasn't forgotten, or forgiven, a damn thing.'‘I'm sure Mayor Fox and Chief Quinterre are less than impressed,' she smiled at me. She knew the score. This was BBC Country.‘Chief Quinterre is no longer Chief. He lost his job last Thursday night; for molesting my Mom, having one of his buddies molest your daughter, and being caught at it by an Arkansas State Investigator. My Mom is supporting Mayor Fox's bid for the State Senate seat while Chinedu Malik is in the dog house for his philandering ways.'‘That's; something,' she muttered.‘Oh, and the previous High School Principal is no more. He attempted to put his hands on my Mother, so she put him in Intensive Care; including ripping his dick off,' I kept chatting. By the flashing of Memphis' big baby blues; that was another BBC she'd be missing. Sadly, I was no longer surprised.‘The new guy; well, you'd have to meet him to believe him. He's a treat.'‘How so?'‘How to describe him; He's a college-marinated, proudly bi-sexual, agnostic, married-to-a-freaking-Goddess, beefy, Black Canadian-Haitian-American Fruit Loop.'‘Huh?'‘I stand by my assessment,' I grinned. ‘Let me go get Brandy,' I headed for the door.‘Vladimir, Vlad, ah; is Brandy; okay?' Jodi May worried.‘I do my utmost to make her happy; and I; well, I'll let you talk with her and decide for yourself,' and then I left.I worried about what I was going to say when I found Brandy.

This week, I talk with Tim Grahl, CEO of Story Grid and author of The Shithead, a novel that's both thrilling and deeply personal. Tim made a name for himself as a book marketer who landed multiple titles on the New York Times  Bestseller list at the same time. Tim's work with Story Grid, alongside his partner Shawn Coyne, has guided hundreds of aspiring authors in mastering the essential elements of storytelling, helping them transform “I hope I can write a book someday” into a published reality. We cover a range of topics, from Tim's journey as a book marketer to his insights on the power of structure in storytelling. We also dive into his personal experiences, including the impact of therapy on his growth as both a person and a professional. Tim's work ethic and passion for meaningful storytelling are infectious, and I think you'll find our conversation both inspiring and thought-provoking. Let's get to it! In this episode: (00:00) - Intro (05:06) - Tim's perfect vacation (11:54) - Doing work that people don't understand (15:19) - The "secret" to Tim's success (20:34) - The moment Tim knew his business was broken (31:06) - What is an object of desire? (34:10) - The problem with online courses (and how to fix it) (01:03:47) - Behind the scenes of writing a meaningful book (01:13:37) - Success and the half warm beer theory (01:18:03) - Reflecting on regret (01:24:28) - How therapy changed everything (01:32:58) - Chasing insight vs integration (01:38:19) - Tim's beautiful future (01:42:47) - Who Tim is becoming Get full show notes and links at https://GoodWorkShow.com.

I couldn't resist the subtitle, kids, sorry. It's not that shocking—but Tim's journey was definitely only for the bold.I've known Tim Grahl—or known of him—for more than a decade. I watched him help writers like Dan Pink launch their non-fiction books onto the best seller list, and devoured and followed his excellent advice about launching my own books (which you can find here at booklaunch.com). Then I watched—or rather, listened—as he pivoted into the world of fiction, enlisting editor Shaun Coyne to join him on a podcast and help him use Coyne's Storygrid method to work on what eventually, after many revisions and a whole lot of failing in public, became Tim's first novel, The Threshing. At the same time, he and Shaun were building Storygrid into what's not just a business, but a huge community of writers and editors. He's just published his second novel, The Shithead, a very different book from the first… I call it The Firm meets The Alchemist; Tim prefers Fleishman Is In Trouble meets Faust. Both work. We talk Tim's sideways journey into fiction, and then we talk craft—in particular, how to learn what you don't know, the myth of the lone writer in a cabin and the importance of feedback and then we dig into a passionate discussion of theme.You can check out The Shithead here.

On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are trying our damnedest to remember all the things we keep forgetting each day. We're talking about the Peter Segal film from 2004, 50 First Dates.I'm sure we've all got some first dates that we'd really like to forget. The food could have made us sick. Our date was embarrassingly rude to the waiter. It ended in a weird bed with someone who grunts a little too much.Suffice it to say, we all wish that we could have those dates that seem like they should be featured at the end of a sappy romcom. Maybe Hugh Grant shows up and everything will finally be okay.Better still, what if you could relive that date hundreds of times over? Wouldn't that be swell? In some ways, it's hard not to envy poor Lucy in this film. You get to spend an exciting first date with your great love over and over!I'd prefer that without the debilitating brain injury. Endless first dates are nice, but not being able to remember anything? It seems like I've written myself into a corner with this dream.

This is our most random episode yet! We talk about everything EXCEPT dicks. We still have the usual segments such as a very awkward Shithead of the Week, along with the Shitty Decision of the Week. After that, things take a weird turn.....

Can you bend a bullet like Beckham? Sure you can. Our friend Jen Garcia returns to talk about the misogyny that is Wanted. Grab some peanut butter and rats, forget Tyler Durden, get a robot bullet and listen to Paul’s Morgan Freeman impressions. As Jen described the film, “a back-to-back string of ‘wouldn’t it be cool if’ moments.” Enjoy the show as we audition lots of closing taglines. Find this frown-y film for your own eyeballs, if you dare. The trials and tribulations of finding a domain name not taken are discussed. It reminds us of an old SNL skit Paul calls this film The Matrix by Michael Bay. The writers of this film wrote the sequel to The Fast and the Furious and 3:10 to Yuma? Peter Bradshaw’s spot on review of this film. This film was only beat by WALL-E? Jen tells us that James McAvoy wasn’t the first choice for the lead. Paul says the film is a mix of blood and Thomas the Tank Engine crashing. Chris wants to cut Morgan Freeman from this movie into Bruce Almighty. Is this movie trying to do callbacks to Office Space and Mimi from The Drew Carey Show. This is the gruesome and ‘utterly ridiculous’ scene we keep talking about (a gun through a human head). They tried to bend bullets on Mythbusters. Hey everyone, the Loom of Fate is just the ASCII code. Huh? Why bend bullets when you can shoot around corners with a fancy gun? Jen and Chris agree that Crank is a much better ridiculous action film. We get into the geopolitics of the climate crisis and fast fashion because of the Loom of Fate. Paul suggests that our hero use his powers for good in the office, and bend paper, like in this 80s production logo. Paul says this movie is just Tomb Raider 3 for Angelina Jolie. The film has a twist within a twist and we wonder if M. Night was a production assistant on this movie. Paul hypothesizes that the Loom of Fate uses TC/IP to deliver the names. Jen says you have to unplug the loom and wait 15 seconds before plugging it back in. A character missing from the film that was in the graphic novel is someone made of excrement. Paul says his brothers went to see this film and all they remembered was Morgan Freeman saying, “Otherwise..” Watch A Knight’s Tale instead, says Paul. Jen says King Arthur was okay. Paul thinks this movie forfeits the Bechdel Test by not even having more than one woman on the screen at any time. Paul wanted this film to go full parody like Tropic Thunder. We have no idea what “video” Chris wanted to share with Jen and you listeners, so enjoy some Dolph Lundgren facts. There you have it. A film you should avoid, Unwanted. Thanks to you for tuning in and listening. Thanks to Paul for recording and our amazingly fun and hilarious guest, Jen Garcia! Like a bad sequel, we will be back sooner than expected.

Man, this was a bummer of an episode all around. We had 2 zoom crashes, so editing was a nightmare. If you're bummed out, maybe skip the last 20 minutes of the show so you don't have to hear about the the nightmare of stuff coming out about Activision. I mean....I dunno....Inscryption was pretty ok?
