When my best friend got

September 24th 2002 at 6:31 pm

When my best friend got back from Ireland two years ago he had a whole new set of catch phrases. They all came from the movie Fight Club. I think that year, from lack of sleep, stress, and the prospect of looming finals failure and the spectre of being stuck in a routine, there were times when various parking lots around our college almost got turned into mini-Fight Club locations.

I remember listening to that damn soundtrack on just about every group trip out to the all-night truck stop. It was just one added element of surreality. The depressing, constant gray of the midwest winter, a cold car, greasy fast food, and arguing friends, all overlaid with the trippy sound of the Dust Brothers.

After one particularly grueling 8 hour paper, on my third night of no sleep, I plopped down on in my friend’s bed while he was studying for an exam, cracked open the book, and read it from cover to cover twice.

So here is an interesting interview with interview with Chuck Palihniuk
