wondering if i should make black tea or not
daaaan gyall
i have enough to get sugar and cream
thinking about what other tea that store has, and im pretty sure its just the one i bought and lipton
lipton black tea, much like cheese grits, has the probability to bring about visceral memories of the mental hospital
this must be avoided at all costs
one flew / acid / not even once / this thread was bound to happen again
i started reading ''one flew over the cuckoos nest'' when i was in SF. I was blissfully unaware that it didnt take place in menlo park. i had assumed part of the book would about the acid tests or some artistic liberty writing about it
pretty damn quickly in the book, i realized it took place in oregon. the fictional book, but based off of real world experience at a ward in oregon. i was wrong
one flew / r*pe / Electr*cution / 2
still in SF, i had torrented this book and read it on my breaks
i hate both the protagonist and the antagonist, mcmurphywhatver his name r*pes and gets off scot free essentially by getting resigned to the ward from a work farm (idk some free labor stuff that he fucking deserved)
sure violence is a mental and social thing, but he fucking r*pe'd someone. metaphorically the only silver lining about him was how he played head games with big nurse. the antagonist
one flew / Electr*cution / 3
she also fucked around with his head too, thats a siliver lining also
i like the narrator broom! i read the books wiki, and im glad i did, this fucking book needs a giant CW that reads:
Electrocution
which is a huge damn spoiler. but id rather readers have that option. i WOULD have liked to have read it in context, but, im glad i didnt
chapter 5-6 thereabouts, it started to impact my mood. the bullshit she put the patients through because she HAS that power
one flew / 4
---another scene i read stuck in my mind; the part where the patients act like rabbits
the conversation between protag and the lead patient about them acting like rabbits, distrubed the protatg (as he should be);; "youre mad!"
"where do you think we are?"
//acting like rabbits//
there are scenes that triggered me in the sense that, thats why i havent finished the book; the rabbit scene was a lot more lighthearted and stuck because fucking white rabbits anyWAY
one flew / 5
the part i ended was when mcwhatshisshit realized that the narrator COULD hear (and possibly speak)
that cant go well,,
there was a scene where broom (narrator) intentioally doesnt take his night medicine, and dreams about the ward being a machine; accurate
the rest of what i read is buried with my memories of the ward
in conclusion, thats why i cant drink lipton brand black tea, and also eat quaker grits with kraft singles cheese; as a meal
id probably cry
@joshua Oh, man. *hug* Yeah, I really enjoyed, even revered Ken Kesey and One Flew Over when I was a teenager, but it has NOT aged well, Chief Broom is basically the only decent character in it, and it needs a big ol' content warning the size of a billboard.
I do still love Chief Broom's vision of "The Combine," though. That was probably the #1 young influence on me becoming an anti-authoritarian leftist besides the Principia Discordia (whose author ALSO turned out to be a big jerkass *sigh* ).
