Now I did a job. I got nothing but trouble since I did it, not to mention more than a few unkind words as regard to my character so let me make this abundantly clear. I do the job. And then I get paid.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

this is what happens when I go to lunch.

Multiple orgasms? Lucky girl.

BK. Have it your way.

Hmm. The creepy BK king-guy from the commercials is seeming less creepy in that light....

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

From britannica.com:

Once the female attains an orgasm, however, she remains sexually excited longer and may experience several successive orgasms, whereas the male is ordinarily unable to experience a second orgasm except after a waiting period

The resolution stage in men contains a refractory period of several minutes to a few hours, during which the man is incapable of further sexual arousal. Women have no such refractory period and can quickly become aroused again from any point in the resolution stage

Is no one else seeing nifty correlations between intermingled discussions of chaos theory and multiple orgasms? It means something.

I mean, something other than that I love all the spicy brains around here.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Hm. I had BK for lunch. I guess I didn't order right.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Hmm. The creepy BK king-guy from the commercials is seeming less creepy in that light....

EW! MORE CREEPY! MORE CREEPY! No way I'm having sex with the scary plastic-headed king, no matter how many orgasms.

I find 13% rather low, honestly... but have no real statistical evidence to back that up (except, it seems strange that it would have such a presence in the cultural consciousness with such a low incidence). Also, ah, Freud. You damage-causing little fucker. "Adolescent phenomenon," indeed.

Yeah, that idea just put me off sex forever. Okay, for the next five minutes.

LONDON (Reuters) - British soldiers serving in Iraq crashed defense ministry computers in London last week after officials downloaded a spoof video the troops had made of a chart-topping song. The soldiers' four-minute video take of the 1971 hit "Is This The Way To Amarillo" had officers laughing out loud back at London headquarters as they e-mailed copies to each other. "The video is really good," a military spokesman said on Tuesday.

may experience several successive orgasms,

My question then, I guess, is whether it needs to be, er, pop-pop-pop, as this entry makes it sound, to be considered multiple orgasms, rather than renewed arousal after a short recovery period?

Is this question making sense to anyone else?

Also, -t, the book is as much DFW as it is mathematical history (which is part of what made me love it so much). There's plenty of room for another one that's not Foster Wallace-y! Just look at how many books have been published about zero.
