hhgtt Galaxy

Intro: page negative 15

Douglas started this endeavor as a radio thing on The bbc.   It started before that when he was hitchhiking through Europe and was about to pass out due to overly aggressive consumption of alchohol and looking at the stars thought if there was a hitchhiker guided to the galaxy he would get the fuck out of here. 

I have the teen version with pictures 

Ch 0 pg 1

They talk about the hitchhiker guide to the galaxy. Its largely inaccurate,  but it's more popular than the galactic encyclopedia because its slightly cheeper and has the words don't panic on the front.

Ch 1 pg 5

Arthur dent is a human man whose house is going to be demolished to make way for a bypass.  Ford Prefect (I have not read this book since Harry Potter became a thing.) Is an extra terrestrial and he doesn't care about Arthur's house.  He convinces him to come to the pub.

Ch 2 pg 25

Ford orders six pints and tells Arthur to drink up.  The world is ending and he needs to drink those beers as a muscle relaxant.

Ch 3 pg 31

Earth is destroyed by a vogon ship to make wah for a galactic highway.

Ch 4 pg 46

Zaphod beeboebrox is the president of the galaxy. But he only took the job as part of a heist. 

Ch 5 pg 58

Arthur and Ford have been beamed to a ship.  It's a vogon ship.  Vogons are jerks and they blow up inhabited planets to make way for interstellar highways.  Funny story, having just destroyed am inhabited planet the captain of the ship just got a message telling him there's new kinds of spacecraft that don't need interstellar highways. This is upsetting. 

Arthur and Ford were let on the ship by the cook's who are an alien species called the dentrassis.  The angry vogon captain sends out a ship wide message.  Its basically to the hitchhiker and it's that he's gonna catch you and kill you.

Ch 6 pg 74

Ford and Arthur hunker down in the dentrassis`s room and hope not to be caught while they go through hyperspace.

Ch 11

Zaphod and trillium are annoyed by the depressed robot. 

Arthur and Ford don't think much of him either.

Ch 12 

Zaphod and Trillian are trying to map their minds around how the ship picked up Arthur and Ford.  The point at which they did so means something to Trillian.  It should mean something to Zaphod but he's either playing dumb or really doens't remember whatever it is that Trillian is talking about.

Ford and Arthur are walking towards them.  Trillian wants to get a look at them before they get there.

Ch 13 pg 136

Remember how Trillian told zeephod about the point where they picked up the hitchhikers being important?  It's because that point is where earth used to be.  Why is this important to Trillian?  Because she's from.earth.  she was at the party Arthur was talking about. The guy that she left with was Zaphod.  He only had one head and two arms and called himself Phil,  but it was him and Arthur is pissed off about it. Zaphod is Ford's brother.

Ch 14 pg 144

Arthur is sleeping.  No one else can.  Trillian has mice she brought from earth...

They are in the midst of the horsehead nebula.  Complete darkness. But there's a planet where it's very improbable that there would be one.

 Ch 15

A long long time ago there were people that made designer planets for the ultra rich.

Ch 16

They all hate the cheerful computer. 

This planet is the hime base of the people that made planets.

Ch 17

This planet does not want guests.  There are several recordings telling them to fuck off.  They do not.  Missiles are launched.  Evasive maneuvers happen.  The hitch hikers guide to the galaxy gets lose and starts talking about stuff. 

Arthur figures if they're about to die, try the improbability drive.

This chapter was worth the wait.  The broken eye takes Teia unto their bosom and tells her their story.  Of their people that found salvation after the prism war on the other side of the desert.  Of the prehistoric teaches they found from the original broken eye from before the time of prisms.  Of the first prism that was one of them and betrayed them to take over the world as the first prism.  They take all the blackmail items and melt them down and they offer her membership to their ranks.

Ch 39 pg 264

Gavin thinks maybe something good will happen if he gets stabbed by the luxin sword again.  The guy he asks is like, illl hold it, but you gotta run into it or something cause if it doesn't work like you think, I'll be keelhauled for murder.  It doesn't work.

Gavin argues they should go to Jasper and they'll get double the money than going anywhere else.  But the guy that was from the other ship that freed them in the first place is like, dude, no.  Your dad is primachos now and Last time you saw him he stabbed you.  If you go back to jasper he'll easily kill you now you can't draft.  And even if that doesn't happen, you and your dad are like two giant rocks and we're likely to get crushed between you.

Ch 40 pg 269 (nice)

Cruxer finds some stuff about how babies are sacrificed as part of the ritual to create a green god and suggests that maybe they just shouldn't look into restricted stuff anymore.  Maybe they find THE thing Kip has been looking for and it maybe would win the war but it's got a horrible cost.  Also, what if the other side figures it out and starts doing it even worse.  It's a pretty convincing argument. You wanna win, but what if winning turns you evil in the process.

But this is Kip's thing and he wants to do it and so everyone is just going to keep going along with it even through Kip doesn't even know what he's looking for.

Ch 46 pg 313

Listen to Mbmbam episode 528

Grandpa wants the black cards.  Only problem is he can't live the cards cause he doesn't have the color blue.  Kip having the cards and all the colors can do it all.  

Ch 62 pg 436

I think this is kip.  He has the shimercloak card and he sees someone murder a red drafter and use an obsidian to steal their red drafting.  A lady takes the obsidian and puts it in a choker and tells the murderer that they will need to kill a prism to make a real shimercloak.

Ch 66 pg 451

Kip tells karris what happened a  couple times. Part if this is her wanting to know what happened. Part is training him to give better reports. 

I'm guessing because he has feelings for Teia, he asks Karris when she knew she loved Gavin.  Now, that's a hella hard question to answer with Gavin really being Dazen.  This conversation goes all sideways and ends with Karris saying YOU

ARE

NOT

Summer sons

 Ch 1 

Narrator had a dead friend that recently graduated from THE Ohio state university. It's an apprarant suicide.  He doens't bel8eve it.  He's picking up said dead friend's car from the impound lot.  He has to Pay $223 for this.  He's all pissy about it even through he recently inherited over seven million dollars.  Another friend that was also friends with the deceised came along. Narrator wishes they had not.  Friend wants Narrator to go home. Narrator is going to get to the bottom of dead friends death as there's no way he would have committed suicide. 

Narrator drives his dead friends car and some sort of horrible ghost viewing that ng.  He thinks it was his dead friend.  This i s not new to narrator.  He has been seeing ghosts for three week s.

ch 2 pg 14

Narrator us named Andrew, room mate is named Riley. 

Apple Jacks are a shitty cereal.  Narrator should have had Cheerios oat crunch.

They are from Tennessee.   There was a thing six years ago with ghosts in a cave and they've been able to see ghosts ever since.  That's why they moved to Ohio and went to THE Ohio State University. Looks like Eddie (narrator's adopted brother and I'm guessing boyfriend even though no one has said that so far.  )  decided to come back to to Tennessee,  specifically to Nashville and Vanderbilt. 

I'm going to Nashville in September and I think I'm gonna take a tour of Vanderbilt because of this book.

Eddie says in his journal he can see ghosts and he sees them better than Andrew and he sees them best closest to their home town.  Andrew has a ghost attack him in his dreams but somehow Eddie's ghost saves him or wakes him up or something.  Maybe this ghost killed Eddie and made it look like a suicide.

Ch 3 pg 27

Riley comes home with his cousin a d Andrew is not having it.  They leave.  Riley comes back later with his girlfriend and Andrew is still not having it.  As Riley us leaving he suggests that Andrew get his shut together enough to attend class tomorrow.  Eddie had set up everything bought the books and all and Andrew just has to show up.  Andrew appears to do just that.  Riley comes home super drunk.  He's gotta teach class tomorrow morning.  Getting drunk was a mistake.  In his drunk Ness he says to Andrew he's on board with the ghost stuff and he wants to help.  This passes Amdrew right off.  Why would Eddie have told Riley all this? They didn't even tell their third wheel Del about this stuff.

Ch 4 pg 39

Andrew has one class and his student advisor, who was also Eddie's student advisor,  is in it and he doesn't like the roommate and kinda blames Eddie's suicide on him and his crew.  They go out to dinner and as per usual Andrew is just not having.it.  he goes home and sleeps without an evil ghost attack.  

ch 5 pg 50

He wakes up and goes to get his car.  He's been driving Eddie's car.

When he gets back there's a note from room mate saying he'll be home by 3.  It's Tuesday and Amdrew doesn't have class again til Thursday so he's just.kinda hanging.out.

He goes to campus to talk to student advisor and his faculty advisor.   She was working on stuff with Eddie and I guess Andrew is gonna pick it up.  The way he describes the student advisor as having a russet brown chest makes me think they should have relations.

Ch 6 pg 62

This is the saddest Fast and Furious movie.

Ch 7 pg 76

Nothing interesting happens in this chapter.  Narrator skips class and has a text fight with Del and looks for dead boyfriend's phone.

Ch 8 pg 86

Narrator goes to a party with room mate.  Room mate's bad cousin is the host of the party.  Room mate makes out with a guy named Ethan.  Narrator hears someone call room mate the F word and fight happens.  Of course a fight happens.  Narrator is furious and likes to drive fast.  Room mate is trans.  Narrator says hes not gay.

Ch 9 pg 101

On the way back home there's a ghost incident.  Riley wants to talk about it. Amdrew does not.

The amount of ignoring texts in this  book makes me itch.  

Ch 10 pg 114

Narrator doesnt give a fick about school.  He's just here to find Eddie's killer.

Ch 11 pg 127

Andrew and Riley go to Sam's to hang out.  It's a much more cosmopolitan crowd as Riley's girlfriend is there and was specifically not there at the party where the fight happened.  At one point there's a bit of a flashback to what I am choosing to believe was a three way with Del, Eddie and Andrew.

Lonely island song: its ok when it's in a three way.  It's not gay, when it's in a three way.  With a lady in the middle there's some leeway.  The areas Grey in a one two three way.

Tonight is about car racing.  Andrew races Riley's girlfriend and gets distracted by Eddie's ghost and loses pretty bad and freaks out to get out of the car and throws up.

Ch 12 pg 138

Andrew goes to a graveyard and has a fun ghost thing where he sees Eddie die.  He doesn't see the wrist slashing happen but as Eddie is bleeding out, he sees he doesn't want to die.

Ch 13 pg 151

Ethan and Andrew race their Toyota Supras around on the highway.  They go to a rave party at a ladies house and they do drugs.  They talk a lot about Eddie.  The big revelation is that Sam doesn't wanna talk about the ghost stuff cause he's ashamed of his whacky hill witch grandma.   Room mate is down with it though.  Of course, all the ghost stuff is an alagory for gay so that makes hella sense.  But if Eddie was trying to get Sam to talk about ghost stuff tha obvious conclusion is that they were both closeted together maybe or something. 

More than anything,  everyone assumed Andrew was Eddie's boyfriend.

Ch 14 pg 164

Sam takes Andrew to where Eddie's buddy was found.  Andrew uses his ghost powers to se Eddie didn't die here.  His body was dragged here.

Ch 15 pg 174

Andrew tells Riley about his ghost experience with in the woods.

Ch 16 pg 185

Andrew finally meets the professor in person.  Turns out she knew Eddie's parents and all about their past. A drew just can't even so he gies to Sam's house and they drink a Sixer while they drive around. 

Ch 17 

Andrew and Riley start looking into Eddie's academic stuff and there's Hella stuff missing. The theory is maybe he stumbled upon something dangerous in his research and that's what got him killed.

Ch 18 pg 208

Andrew meets with the professor and she doesn't have the stuff from Eddie he's looking for but she does have notes based on the interviews he told her about.

Del shows up and pretty much tells Andrew to fuck off forever.

Ch 19

This chapter is all academic stuff i kinda dont care about.

the big take away is that Sam and Riley are happy to help Andrew in following the academic trail 👣 to find Eddie's killer.

ch 20 pg 229

More academic stuff.  He has a beer with West and it doesn't go well mostly because he accuses him of having stolen some of Eddie's academic materials. Andrew drives home. He has a ghost encounter in Eddie's car and realizes most of his ghost encounters have taken place in the car.  Also he hasn't looked in the trunk.  He goes into the trunk and has a vision of Eddie's dead body I'm the trunk.

Ch 21 pg 240

Andrew has a pretty significant ghost experience. Riley finds him laying in the driveway all bloody withs shallow cuts all over his arms.  Andrew finds some old people to interview. Sam invites himself along.  They eat chicken wings on the way.  Turns out these old people live near. Eddie's old house and they say oh, so you must be here to ask about the curse.

ch 22

The people tell them about the curse.  Some long ago (pre civil war) ancestor of eddies has a sick wife and kills his sister at the crossroads as an offering to the devil to cure his sick wife.  It doesnt work and the family is cursed ever after.

andrew is real shook by this.  Here is a piece of writing i like a lot...

The loss of grounding pressure on his scalp when Sam switched his hand to the gearshift almost spun him off the face of the earth.

Eddie's Parents died in a car crash.  Drove head first into a tree.

Sam tells Andrew to keep Riley out of his ghost adventures.  Andrew tells him to fuck off.  Sam calls him a spoiled.  Andrew tells him the story of the cave as if that's gonna make him not spoiled.

Ch 23 pg 262

Boring academic stuff

Ch 24 pg

Party at the prof's place.  Old plantation house.  Gives Riley the heeby jeebies.  Prof's husband is almost dead to the point Andrew can feel it.  Prof has a dead daughter.

Ch 25 pg 282

Car racing 

Ch 26 pg 295

Sam and Andrew have Andrew  birthday sex in Riley's bed 

Ch 27 pg 308

Sam and Andrew are getting hot and heavy at Sam's place.  Some supernatural shit fucks their shit up.  Just in the nick of time,  Riley shows up to save the day.  He does so by removing Eddie's ring from amdrews finger. 

So they found some book that says more about Eddie's family curse.  Mostly that the curse is great because of the sacrifice Eddie's ancestors made and they have been Hella fortunate ever since because of it.  The current theory is that whoever killed Eddie did it with the hope that the curse would pass on to them.  But who would think that.  Maybe the professor?

.ch 28 pg 321

Sam and Andrew go to the professor's house and she drugs them.

Ch 29 pg 336

Sam and andrew are tied up in the barn.  Sam on the ground, Andrew on a chair.  Somehow Eddie's ghost saves the day by giving Andrew supernatural power to break the ropes enough to take a couple bites out of the professor.  Sam does his part in this whole thing by killing the professors husband choking him to death with the handcuffs he is bound with. But they're both messed up bad and Sam calls 911 and asks for help.

Ch 30 pg 349

Eddie's ghost is just sorta in Andrew all the time now and that doesn't sit right with Sam so they're just not talking.  Sam lost and eye in the fight. Also, some of Andrew's blood made it's way into Sam and Sam can kinda see ghosts now.  At the very least he can clearly see that Eddie is in Andrew when Amdrew goes to Sam's house to try to win him over. Sam ain't gonna be no side piece so as long as Eddie is in Andrew Sam wants no part in him.

West is suing the school on account of his advisor killing a dude and trying to kill two other dudes..

Andrew asks Riley for help with the Eddie ghost problem. 

Ch 31

They burn down Eddie's ancestral home to get rid of his ghost.

Sam isn't willing to jump back into a romantic relationship with Andrew,  but he's willing to give him a fresh start.

Jdate ch 16 to the end

 Ch 16 pg 387

We get a "joke" where David falls down and Molly lands on him rear end first.  This is a Good example of how this book is all punchlines and they are not funny.

They are lowered down in a net of sorts. They are greeted by a monster in a man suit wearing a pin striped suit.  He leads them to an area where there's a golden glaming statue of them and Molly,  like they're some kind of heroes in this world.  They go with him to his office.

"The kittens will take your sad away"

He explains that they live in parallel universes.  They split in 1864 when a man named Adam Rooney was shot and died in the Civil War.  I'm their world, he didn't get shot and he invented all sorts of amazing things in what we'll call biotechnology. His greatest achievement was a computer made of pig brains.  He continued to improve on this and on the same day he died his computer gained sentience. This was a big fucking deal.

The pinstripe suit wearing "man" takes them on a trip via a giant spider they can ride in ti the organic computer.  Pinstripe and John keep talking but David is speaking telepathically to the computer.   This is Korrok.

The pinstripe man explains that korrok has seem the future and has the invasion of our world planned out to the last molecule and they should just go along with it.  Dave runs away.  Pinstripe man chases him to I guess the end of the hall and makes the floor transparent and shows him dirty prison people and he brings one of them up and turns them into a monster and when Dave tries to run, the monsters grab him soooo fast.

Pg 405

John had a plan.  Molloy poops out part of the bomb by herself.  John takes it and kinda attaches a little cigarette to it to create a time bomb.  He picks up Molly and when they get to dave and pinstripe man and Amy (who has been infected by one of the white bug things) he squeezes Molly and other bomb parts pop out.  They use the bomb parts to threaten their way out.  They jump into a giant frog with a black hole in its mouth.

Robert North is on the other side.he shoots Amy in the hopes it will prevent the white bugs from hatching.  It doesn't work, so they throw her body back through the black hole to the other world and then she explodes in a shower of white bugs that attack the people on the other side.

Dave stabs Robert North and he turns into a jellyfish and floats away.

They get a ride back home from a guy that (to Dave) looks like Fred durst.  He explains that of this was from John's point of view he would be someone else.  They get home and Amy is there. They make her take her shoes and socks off so they can see she doesn't have the korrok symbol that looks like Pi. Also, the dead body is Dave. He takes his shoes and socks off and he has a pi symbol on his big toe.  So John and Amy take their leave of him.

Epilogue 420

The reporter guy has been dead the whole time.  John doesn't die.  Amy goes to college. They keep living life with a goodly amount of existential dread.

The broken eye ch 1 -33

Ch 4 pg 18

Ch 7 pg 35

Zymon joins a pirate ship whose captain wants to kill gunner

Ch 8

The order of the broken eye is after Teia.  Much like the racists are after Integratio Jefferson.  Teia is instructed to run.  But much like Integratio Jefferson, she'll destroy them, or die trying. 

Ch 9 pg 45

The white summons karris.  She's out of the black guard.  Her uterus starts to frantically travel about her body as all 13 year old boys are aware is totally a real thing that happens. The Teia chapters aren't bad, but pretty much all the female POVs in this book are very bad.

The white wants Karris to manager her spy network. 

Ch 10

teia is surprised when a guy from the briken eye is in her room.  He paralyzed her with pyril.  He makes a compelling argument in that he somehow has her papers and if she plays ball, she'll be a free woman.  If not Andross Guile would be her owner by law.

Ch 11 pg 59

Life as a rowboat slave sucks. Also if the ship sinks during battle, you die.

Ch 12 pg 64

Kip us walking back to the Chromeria in foot. It sucks.  It sucks less after he crafts himself some luxin boots. As night comes he crafts a blue box and red luxin in it to burn to get warm enough to sleep.

Ch 13 pg 71

The old priest

i guess this is an old thijg that happened a long time ago.  They talk about making a person into a green god like its the most normal thing.   also its a thing where each country only uses a single color.  They were recently raided and so they are gonna do the god thing so they can get vengence.

Ch 14 pg 75

Rowboat collides, gavins boat and cannons start tearimg through the boat and tons of people are dying on both boats.  Gavin doesnt die through.

Ch 15 pg 78

K ip is not doing great.  He is trying to walk along the shoreline but he hits rocky cliffs and has to walk through the jungle.  He passes out cause there aint no food and he wakes up covered in leeches.  He solves that problem with luxin and makes clothes out of ultraviolet and yellow luxin.  So he's kinda glowing.  He wanders his way to a farm house.  Luckily, God told this lady he was coming.  Kip has an ok sized penis.

Ch 16 pg 87

These Karris chapters are awful. We don't need to spend several pages discussing her insecurity. 

With some help from the white she's able to get most of Gavin's money from the bank.  They wouldn't have voluntarily given her Gavin's money.  Their expressed policy is that they don't have account names, just numbers and she would have to give the. The account numbers.  But that's BS.  He brought the list of accounts he knew were Gavin's and Karris had someone steal it and a code Cypher from him on the way.  Also they Give the banker some useful information about a competitor.  So now Karris had a friend at the bank.

Ch 17 pg 95

Teia's gotta do one job for the broke Eye and she'll have her freedom. Steal some papers from a spy.  It is a rush job and she hasn't been able to properly prepare and as a result it ain't perfect.  She gets the papers but the spy sees her do it.  The broken eye assasin woth an invisibility cloak has been following her and kills the spy.  He puts the bloody knife he used in her hands and runs away and tells her to run.

Ch 18 pg 104

The attack of the ship worked.   Gunner sends some guys to ransom the ship.  Gunner doesn't know what to do with Gavin.  So he asks Gavin what to do.  The only good advice is to not ransom him to his dad by sending him an eyeball.  His dad won't pay a randsom cause he doesn't want Gavin back and Gavin doesn't have prism eyes anymore.

Ch 19 pg 109

Teia gets away from the scene of the crime and back to the Chromeria. She goes to Kip's room for some reason. Kip is there and he is looking kinda hunky.  Also, he's doing something woth magic the gathering cards.

They go to Gavin's room and Gavin's sex slave is there.  She tells kip to go to the white immediately. Teia finds her papers left by Mr murder for a job well done and she files the paperwork officially and she's free. But the broken eye has TONS of blackmail material on her so she ain't that free.

Ch 20 pg 118

Karris forces herself into the Spectrum meeting as Gavins representative.  Kips grandfather is saying mean things to everyone.  His basic plan is to have everyone do what they can to slow down the color prince's army. Burning the jungle, poisoning the water, etc.   But mostly he wants to name a promaxhos.  

Who is a mystery.  Obiously not Gavin as he thinks Gavin is dead and he claims not himself.  Maybe he thinks he cam get Zymon appointed to that but I don't se how a complete outsider could be appointed. 

In the midst of people bringing up good points and Andross screaming at them, Kip shows up and tells everyone Gavin is alive and he's on Gunner's ship.  He and his Grandfather kinda revise history and blame the whole Gavin overboard thing on grandfather's slave.  It's all a misunderstanding that's been cleared up and we're a happy family again.

Ch 23 pg 146

Ironfist take teia to see the white.  Teia eventually tells her everything.  The white asks Teia how brave she is.

Guess: she's going to ask Teia to become a spy for her within the broken eye.

Ch 24 pg 153

Gavin has bad dr3ams about his first freeing as prism.  He drafts black luxin at the nd.

Ch 25 pg 168

Kip is training with the black guards again and it is good.

Ch 26 pg 172

Liv!!!!!!!!!

She's gonna become the ultra violet goddess.  That's the plan anyway.  But first she's gotta go get what we're calling the bane seed and bring it back and then they will put it where they want and the giant mirror of Ru will help them make it grow.

Ch 27 pg 179

A broken eyer comes to Liv and warns her 

not to wear the black luxin the color prince Gave her when she turns into the ultraviolet god.  The Black luxin is intended by the color prince to give him the ability to control Liv.  But the broken eyer warns that if that goes badly, the black luxin might have a mind of its own and consume Liv and then orllam knows what.

Ch 28 pg 182

Kip wants to know what Teia's deal is.  He knows she hiding something from him.

Kip's teacher sucks.  He goes to the white and suggests she be reassigned somewhere more suitable. He also asks for a tutor.  The white suggests Karris.  But it's kinda funny cause she refers to her as MRS Guile. Also, she shows him her magic the gathering card.  She also asks where the cards he got from the lady are and he plays dumb.

Ch 29

Gavin has a bad dr3am about his dead brother.  No, not that dead brother.  The one the died when they were children.

There's a sea battle and I guess they are losing cause one of the guys from the other ship comes over and recognizes Gavin and tries to free him.  He's a red drafter.  But his spectacles are broken and all hope is lost...

...but then Orlam stands up.  He has the manacle key.

Ch 31 pg 201

Remember that girl Gavin threw off the tower?  This is her aunt.  She's having her 13th child.  Turns out her lover is an eye breaker.  He says she can vote for Andross Guile to be the war lord or she can die.  She chooses death.  But he let's her finish having her baby before he kills her.

Ch 32 pg 211

Kips grandfather reveals his rejuvenation to the chromeria and gets himself elected as war monger.  Yeah war.

Also, livs dad appointed a new green who arrived three minutes after the vote.

Ch 33 pg 219

Kip goes to the library and asks for the librarian that helped him with magic the gathering.  She doesn't exists.  I expect she was a plant by card lady to get him to her.  He passes off that librarian asking about the restricted section. That is until he tells him who he is and it's all go right on sir.  There's no locked doors or whatever, it's just books.  But if you're not supposed to be there and you get caught, it's your ass.  Kips totally allowed.  

He pisses off ironfist who just wants to read some books in private. He asks a librarian in the restricted section about forbidden magic the gathering cards and is told there's a special restricted library that information is in.  He gets a permission slip and has ironfist sign it for him.  Kip is gonna pay for thus.  But that's tomorrow Kip's problem, today's kip wants to know about the forbidden cards yo.

Jdate ch 12 through 15

 Ch 12 pg 281

Dave tries to tell John he killed Amy.  Problem is, Amy is there.  She doesn't know where she was.  But shes back.  Also, jellyfish monster is gone. Maybe Amy is jellyfish?

John shows Amy a cool goop thing that can form any shape and gets angry and bites spoons when you say mean things about it.  This is an attempt to earn Amy's trust so she will talk about what's been going on with her.

It works well enough that she's willing to show them the basement.

In the basement is scifi special effects stuff Big Jim was working on.  Its all super cool.  And a lot of it is what theyve been dealing with.  Shadow men and portals to another world.  Maybe Jim has all the answers even though hes dead now.

Pg 292

Dave goes home and falls asleep and wakes up to being paralyzed and Robert North is there.  He eats a spider.

He goes to work.  John's uncle, who is a cop and was with them at Amy's last night cones in a little on edge.  Dave hands him mullhulland falls to rent.

John calls Dave and tells him to drop everything and meet him at Dennys. John's girlfriend is the most beautiful woman Dave has ever seen.  And he's young dumb and full of cum so he's gonna stare at her boobs.

John hands him a news paper with a transcript of an internet chat Amy was in before her abduction. 

Ch 13 pg 306

David goes over to Amy's house. Shafoqmen show up.  They drive away.  Shadowmen attack them on the drive.  They get away, as they're driving he tells her the story of how he ended up in the school for the mentally challenged. Five kids were abusing hum and he stabbed one of em's eyes out.  Insanity plea was the idea his lawyer adoptive father came up with and that's how he ended up there.

Ch 14 pf 336

It's 4:20, but not the weed smoking 4:20.

John gets involved in some shenhannegans at the scene of  a jack knifed tractor trail that was bleeding.  John drives away and then there's people shooting guns. John through a series of mental mistakes to try to not get noticed ends up flashing his lights on and off at the gunned people several times ,definitely getting their attention.   

Pg 340

John tells Dave he's sure he would have surely been shot at by these people had not a giant crab gorilla thing attacked them.

We've discussed that the use of the R word in this book is upsetting.  This might be the least upsetting use of it as David is using it to describe his feel8ngs about John's story.

Somehow the gun men subdue the beast and drive to the mall.  John follows them there and he walks right into the mall as if he's not at all aware of what a dang place it is.  But no time to investigate he's gotta get to the job site.

5:18

Amy tells David how she ended I'm the school for challenge mentally children.  She was I'm a car accident with her parents. That's how they died.  She currently doesn't have a left hand.  She still had it back then but she was losing control of it and she was on a lot of drugs for the pain related to the car accident. The statement she gives without any real details is that she bit a teacher and was sent there.

346

5:36

John saw some weird stuff at the job site.  Like a door to a hole to he'll or something. 

8:07

David and Amy are asleep in his truck.  John wakes them up via knocking on the window.  They talk about stuff.  Problem is the whole roofing crew is also there and theres a guy named Tyler that tries to give david the advise not to make Amy's problems his problems cause you be too much of a nice guy and now you're taking care of other people for the rest of your life.  He gets punched in the face for his trouble.

Amy and David go back to Davids house, which has been ransacked.   Hes trying to give her the hard truth of their situation.   fun realization David has in all this is that Amy is smarter than him and he decides he won't try to bullshit her.  i'm assuming they have a romantic moment cause the next scene is john showing up and they've both showered.

Ch 15 pg 362

John and david take soy sauce.  They go to the mall with Amy.  They fight some monsters.  They end up in a weird hell factory. Somehow Amy is missing.  John and david leave a glorious trail of violence through the hell factory. They end up meeting Robert North. All Republicans are racist.  Robert explains he was "born" here a month ago.  The powers that be are excited about david and John's ability to move between worlds.  They want to use that ability for nefarious purposes. 

There's a big tank full of black goop.  Robert North says the way to save Amy is in there.  If they focus their minds on it, they will be able to enter.  David starts to go in, outstretched hand first.  He starts to regret thus decision and is considering telling John to chop his arm off as he can't seem to pull it out. Then everything goes black. 

JDATE ch 6 - 11

 Ch 6

Fred chu Getz infected with the bugs that flew out if the detective's eyeballs.  David was gonna, but John lit his arms on fire via booze and the bugs didn't like that.  

They carjack a couple a d go to Las Vegas. They rob Elton John's tourbus for a change of clothes.   They get into Dr macaroni's show and the being formerly known as Justin shows up.  I'm not sure what his plan was,  but David shoots him and soysauce monsters erupt from him and start attacking people. Dr Macaroni is a former priest and can make holy water, but he needs time.  So they save the day with music. Then holy water kills the diamond bugs.  At that point it seems like that wasn't enough as some evil beings are coming through a soysauce portal.  This isn't really explained as the next scene we get is David waking up with a goatee.  Also,  he's in bed with Jennifer Lopez.   He calls John and John knows exactly what this is.  Residual soysauce amnesia. John explains this has happened a few times a day each time the last thing David remembers is Las Vegas.

 Ch 7

Back to the interview. The guy just doesn't believe David.  What he's saying is unbelievable and he has no proof.  David goes on to explain that in addition to whatever came through the portal, people were getting sucked into a portal and when they did, they were removed from space and time.  Because he was there he and probably cause of soysauce David and John can remember another friend that now never existed. Interviewer says he's done here and Davis tells him Las Vegas was just the beginning. 

Also there was only a little bit of soysauce left and David used it at the beginning of this interview to try to impress the interviewer, but that parlor trick isn't proof enough with such a ridiculous story.

Ch 8

The short and hard to remember story of the time after Las Vegas is that John can see dead people now and loves to talk about it.  Jen can to and HATES it and adamantly denies it and doesn't want to talk about it. I believe at some point this caused David and John to have a physical violence fight and John ended up in jail for a bit.   But David doesn't remember that very well and when he gets these bouts of soysauce amnesia John doesn't fill in those particular details. That's what I'm picking up anyway.

This all kinda changes when the three of them are at taco bell and they see the ghost of a dead lady.

then john and david kinda get into the ghost busting business. 

Ch 9 pg 193

David is hearing things.  The demons are taking songs on the radio and making them offensive. Also, food tastes bad.  The demons are making David's life sad and empty.  They have taken away the simple things he enjoyed.  Also, Molly the dog is growling at the shadows.

Ken the weather guy is killed by Molly the dog.  John and Dave go to investigate. Molly the dog is floating in the living room.  A woman named Krissy is there too.  She's a bit in shock and not useful.  Molly says she only serves Korrok.  This is odd because she's a dog and also they don't know who this korrok is.  John gives her a mint with a bible verse printed on it and she explodes. 

That Dame night, the TV sports guy danny wexler says a bunch of offensive stuff on TV.  Dave figures it's something to do with the demons. 

They go to Danny's house.  He's got a video camera video taping his couch.  They must have just left cause they watch the tape and he was recording on the couch not that long ago.  

Also big Jim had soy sauce and sent it to the TV station.   So thats the theoretical cause of all the problems at the TV station today.

Pg 216

They go outside and it's supernaturally dark.  No moon or stars or anything. What there is is cockroaches all over the ground.  They form together as a man a d they steal their car.  Krissy shows up and they chase the cockroach man in her car.  They smash the cars.  Then there's another Molly dog and they follow her to the abandoned mall.

Dave has a gun.  He might shoot the sports TV guy.  He shoots a mutant zombie deer.  

Pg 228

Back to dave and reporter guy.   Reporter guy has had fun but hes gota go.  This might make a fun Halloween article.

Stuff from the Dr's macaroni's book about how the sideways pi symbol that was on Molly's foot and has been seen all over is described as a man standing and eother stabbed in the head and groin with spears or vomiting and urinating at the same time.

He really wants to leave, but Dave convinces him to take him to the mall.

Pg 235

John has a shotgun and they're in the mall looking for monsters or whatever.

I am spoiled by the expanse and their consistent chapters.

There are coyotes and they shoot them with guns.  The TV sports guy shows up.  They offer to take him to the hospital. He says it's too late for that.  His insides are all messed up.  Also there's something specific to the mall or the land the mall was built on something about doors.  Dave doesn't get it.

He has a plan, wait for the shadow man to possess him again and kill him and burn his body.  But that doesn't work out.  Instead the shadow man possesses Dave and shoots John in the head.  But not too badly, just a graze.  Krissy puts a cross on Dave and the shadow moves into her.  But shes religious as fuck.  So the shadow man I guess dies inside her.

Pg 244

Dan and Krissy end up ok and drive off into the sunset.  Theres a cool thing with the video camera at Dan's house where they watch it and Dan's talking to them from the past.  He tells Dave he's the only one that really understands what's at stake.

Pg 248

Dave and the reporter go to the mall.  he explains the mall isnt haunted persay.  Theres nothing consistently here.  These things come and go.  Also they don't have bodies and they appear to be imortal and their hate just builds to infinite values. 

They walk toward the mall together and Dave starts to tell the story of the girl that disappeared.

Ch 10 pg 250

Dave is being watched through his TV.  Snow storm is happening.  As a result, Dave worked a double at the video store.  When he gets home his dresser is open, the Karan he keeps his gun in is on the bed and the gun is missing.  After a bit of looking around, he finds the gun.  It was in his hand.  Also, he's missing a half hour.  Guessing he was possessed.  John calls him to tell him Amy (big John's sister with special needs) is missing.  Dave counts the bullets in his gun.  One is missing.  And these are special explosive rounds.  So Dave is rightfully very worried about where that bullet was shot.

I'm gonna talk some shit about this book for a bit.  Dave gave Amy an offensive nickname in high-school. Earlier in the book Dave seemed to have a moment of shame about that.  But here on the phone with John he goes on and on about it like he was very proud of that accomplishment. Thought maybe there was some character development earlier but I guess the Author forgot about that. 

Dave goes over to Amy's house. John and his cop uncle are there looking around.  Theres four odd things here.  The first is missing Amy.  I'm a little vague on why they know she's missing in the first place. Second, Molly the dog is back.  Third, there's a wierd jellyfish thing that's attracted to electricity and humps the light if you turn it on.  Fourth, there's a wierd bag of (what we will call) fat in the bathroom.  And the door in the bathroom was closed and locked.

Lots of fun mystery. The whole time Dave is feeling like he probably abducted Amy during his missing 30 minutes. Also, he finds his shed key in pocket. He is thinking maybe Amy is in that shed.  He tells John to investigate the jellyfish and he goes back home.

Pg 269

Dave goes home.  On the way there's a wierdo in his back seat that puts a big leech thing on him and says If he keeps driving it'll be ok.  But instead Dave burns the leech with a cigarette lighter and he plans to shoot the guy with the gun, but after stomping the leech into sludge the wierd guy is gone.  Wierd guy called himself Robert North.

Dave makes it to the shed.  There is a human body under a tarp.  

Ch 11 pg 280

Hindsight being 20/20 Dave wishes he had killed himself knowing what was in the shed.

John dies at the end prologue through chapter 5

 Prologue pg 1

David Wong is our narrator. He "works" with the titular John.  They're ghost hunters.  They are visited by a pretty girl saying her dead boyfriend is harassing her.  Turns out she's a ghost.  She posseses a freezer of frozen meat and attacks David and John.  They try to stop it with a boom box, but it destroys the boom box with a canned ham. At that point what they call the "meatstrosity" starts talking about how they've been after this ghost for so long.  Turns out the ghost has them confused for a TV ghost hunters.  They call said TV ghost hunter so they can talk to the ghost.  After talking on the phone for a minute the meatstrosity explodes.  TV ghost hunter is really good.

Ch 1 pg 23

David Wong is not David wong's real name.   It's a fake name to make him hard to Google.  Same as John.  He's being interviewed by a whacky story reporter.  He convinces him he's the real deal by telling him what he dreamed last night.  He tells him about this all started.  It was at a very lame music festival where John's band was playing.  There was a guy there with magic powers similar to the ones David now has.  In this story the guy speaks with a Jamaican accent and does the same thing of telling David what he dreamed last night and betting him a beer he can do it. Only it doesnt convince David to play along. It just makes him want to get the hell away from that guy.

David meets up with John later at the bar and Jamaican accent guy is there. David gets the fuck out of there.  He later throws up a centipede and carved into his hand is the phrase you owe me a beer.

Ch 2 pg 45

John calls David in the middle of the night. He's super crazy high on drugs.  David goes over and "saves" him.  He is planning to take him to the hospital. John talks him out of it.  John is high on a drug the Jamaican accent guy called soy sauce. Jamaican accent guy said his name was Robert Marley. 

Stuff gets crazier when David and John are at a diner and David receives a call from John saying to meet him in Las Vegas.

There is this dog.  It has an address.  They take it to the address.  It's big Jim's house.  Big Jim isn't there.  His sister is and says she thinks Robert Marley killed big Jim.

David takes John and goes to work.  I guess to try to regain some sense of Normalcy. A black bald guy shows up, says he's a detective and they need to go with him.

Ch 3 pg 67

The cops are asking him questions about last night and most everyone involved is dead or missing Jennifer Lopez and big Jim are missing.  That's a good sign cause the alter is dead. Bob marleys real name is Bruce Mathews.  They tell him John died but they're working on making him not dead.  He gets a phone call.  It's John.  He tells him to GTFO!!!!!! And he does.

Ch 4 pg 88

John tells him to go to Bruce Matthew's trailer and he does.  He tells him to specifically not do one thing but gets cut off at a critical time and so David doesn't know what that one thing is.  Bruce's trailer is trippy.  It's got a room painted so if you look it it right it looks like it's outside. Also there's a basement. 

He finds what he's looking for in the freezer.  Frozen wierd black "drug" they're calling soy sauce.  

The detective comes to the trailer and decides he has had enough and burna the trailer with gasoline.  He also shoots david and leaves him for dead.  But the bullet was defective so david isnt dead.  Also a car crashes through the side of the trailer and David gets out and drives the car away.  The car was being driven by big Jim's dog.  The dog is being possesed by John.  John and the rest of the missing people are in an ambulance heading to Las Vegas. So David amd John in the dog body are heading to Las Vegas. 

Ch 5 pg 118

David goes home to shower and change clothes. Justin (who's infested with wierd white not quite bug things) shows up and kicks his ass and throws him and the dog into the back of a truck.  All the other soy sauce people are there.  Big Jim, Jennifer Lopez, John and another guy who's name I forgot.

They are in a booze truck.  They have this plan to make molotov cocktails and throw them at Justin when the truck doors open.  This plan kinda falls apart when he opens the door and Justin just looks like a normal dude.  Jennifer is the only one to throw hers but she misses and everyone else just sorta goes along quietly. 

They're in what I'm gonna call a barn.  Justin plops some sludge on the ground and tells the guy who's name I don't remember to pee on it.  It turns into a monster.

There's a FedEx package that John sent himself.  It has a note that says to get the thing from under the bush.  Justin goes to investigate. There's nothing under the bush.  What there is out there is the detective who shoots Justin a bunch with a shotgun.  Justin drives away in the booze truck.  Everyone else crams into the detective's SUV and they know from psychic powers to head to the luxor in Las Vegas.  They start heading that way until the detective starts talking about the voices and his eyes explode and a bunch of the evil white not bug things that are controlling Justin come out.  

That should be scary enough because it seems like they're all gonna get turned into whatever Justin is.  But it's worse than that cause David tries to grab the steering wheel and doesn't quite manage it and the car drives off the road and flips over.  So we will see if anyone is alive to get infected by evil white not quite bug things.
