our narrator was on a plane and he arrived without his luggage. His electric razor was on and his luggage was vibrating and policy is to remove any vibrating luggage in case it's something dangerous. The security guy says 9 times out of ten it's a razor. The other time it's a dildo. No mention of anything actually dangerous. So he gets a cab home. But home isn't really homey anymore. It's an empty firey shell. There was an explotion and there's nothing left. It didn't damage any other units because the units have a full foot of cemement wall between them. Lots of talk about the posessions our narrator lost. So many hour spent looking through catalogues to find the exact right dishes or lamp or whatever. Our narrator calls Tyler cause he needs a place to stay. Tyler says he can move in, but he needs a favor. "I want you to hit me as hard as you can."
ch 6 pg 47
In this chapter we cut to the narrator already with a black eye and stitches in his cheek. He was supposed to do a presentation for microsoft, but his boss does it instead cause black eye. Walter, the guy from microsoft says "I'd hate to see the other guy" and the narrator says he fell down some stairs. Now we're talking about fight club. All the rules. The ones that get broken a lot are 1 and 2 because fight club keeps growing. What started with just Tyler and the narrator they now have to limit to the first 50 people. Tyler starts announcing that people should start their own fight clubs cause this one is too crowded. You go to the hospital after fight club and you say you fell down some stairs. The narrator can wiggle half his teeth now. The narrator keeps bumping into guys from fightclub at work, conferences, etc. All he can do is nod at them. Fight club is only at fight club. At work, you see that guy, but he's not the same guy. You can't describe it in words. Even if you could, the first two rules are to not talk about it.
ch 7 pg 56
The narrator has been living with Tyler for a month. Tyler says he's been there six weeks. So the narrator moved in kinda right after Tyler did. I wonder where Tyler lived before this. Tyler has endeavored into a sexual relationship with Marla Singer. It's all the narrator's fault. The narrator called Marla to make sure she wasnt' going to the support group he wanted to go to. She says she's committing suicide via pills. This isn't a real suicide attempt. This is a cry for help. The narrator's response is wonderful "So you're not going out then?" So he goes to the melenoma support group. Marla calls back and Tyler answers. Hearing about the suicide attempt, Tyler calls the cops and rushes over to help out. Marla says calling the cops was the wrong thing to do and now they gotta leave. Tyler brings her home and keeps her up all night with sex.
ch 8 pg 63
The narrator is sent home by his boss cause he's got too much blood on his pants. He hasn't purchased any new clothes since his apartment blew up. He just has the two pants and six shirts that were in his suitcase that the airline brought to Tyler's house. The narrator tells tyler they need to make soap because he needs to wash his pants. Tyler tells the narrator to send Marla to the store to buy some flake lye. They render fat to get glycerin. If they combined this glycerin with nytric acid, they'd have nitroglycerin. Then talk of how they can take that nitroglycerin and use to to destroy things. Boys, why is it that their favorite thing to play is killing? When Marla gets back Tyler has disappeared. This whole situation has had a significantly negative affect on our narrator's state of mind. It reminds him of when he was a kid and his parents were never in the same room. They were always telling to tell something to the other one cause they couldn't stand each other. He writes agressive haikus and faxes them to everyone in the office. He claims he's all Zen, but it takes about one second of observing his actions to see he's not. As they're making soap Tyler kisses the back of the narrator's hand and sprinkle's Lye on it to give him a chemical burn.
