1. yum, pancakes.
2. what era was Pulp Fiction set in? present day early 1990's, or the extrodinarily pimpin 1970's? for the life of me, i can't tell.
3. Van Wilder is essentially the handbook on how to be the biggest PI alive. funny, cocky, smooth, and drives a tricked-out golf cart. honestly, what more does one need?
4. this update has been sitting for the last 36 hours.
5. finished my first italy reading list book. next to be bought today. and maybe a CD and a hot dog, while i'm out.

the reading list of mandatory titles from robinson.
i just finished The Inigma of Arrival by VS Naipaul, an Trinidadian writer who spent his adult life in England. Today I bought Watermark (about the author's many visits to Venice) by Joseph Brodsky and Sense of Sight (a collection of short stories and essays about... the sense of sight, i guess) by John Berger.

pulp fiction mixes up a lot of elements from different time periods (not only 70s and 90s). but in the end, i'd say its set in the 90s, which i'd base on tiny details like vincent having a cell phone (which came out in the 80s), or mr. wolf's car.
p.s. i was wondering about the same thing before myself, that is why i've tried to notice something that would indicate the time setting.

ah-ha

i noticed the cell phone, but certain other elements rang classic 70's like sam jackson's character's haircut and car, etc.
i should have thought about the idea of him intentionally mixing eras, because that's totally what he does.
