Reading 1q84
So this book was a massive bestseller at least in Asia. Which makes me wonder, how many late twenties early thirties people, after reading this book decided to get in touch with their elementary school crush. Only the awkward ones would go through with it though, which is for the best. They are probably sitting in a coffee shop listening to bossa nova talking about their boring office jobs but...

when did you meet your mephi$tophele$
your worse than a foreman at a diamond mine
life on the Street has really blemished your soul
there is nothing in the way of redemption, baby
you didn’t lose your principal, you just leveraged it

Sarah Palin says that she wants to know
Why it is thought that she’s the door but she can’t be the room

hong kong rock lyric, Truly Love You by Beyond
A pair of irreperable hands,
bringing warmth from behind the scene,
though annoying but still caring,
that it was unvalued is truly regrettable.
Drowned in the music world she did not approve,
But mother’s love never retreats,
Decided to break through my heart’s turmoil,
Filial love must be repaid.
The warmth of the spring rain saturates my heart,
A life time of familial...
stupido joke
“Let’s keep what’s between us,” monsieur Asif Bin Calid began to say before he was interrupted by monsieur Xavier Yves-Zola, “strictly between us,” the second gentleman said, allowing a fertive pause after the word ‘strictly’.
strange
As I was outside smoking a cigarette just now a Chinese ferret, which we here call huang shu lang, fell dead beside me landing in a sad fetal position. How strange! I think perhaps, by the logic of synchronicity, that this implies the pest of my inner turmoil has been expelled from the upper reaches of my being, doubtless caused by my current reading of the most enlightening text of Adam Smith....
the ludite proper
“And thus when I reflect on this, I am almost tempted to say that in my heart I repent of having adopted this profession of knight-errant in so detestable an age as we live in now; for though no peril can make me fear, still it gives me some uneasiness to think that powder and lead may rob me of the opportunity of making myself famous and renowned throughout the known earth by the might of...
my drunken ramblings earlier this weekend...
I desperately wish for a tweaked version of google earth with a temporal slider that shows all the civilizations of the world dating back to the bronze age. Capitals (with full range of linguistic renderings) and terrotorial disputes will be enabled under the default setting. Optional overlays would include political history, economics history, environemental history, cultural history, religious...

global macro tears, 2012 fears
I was thinking what if during the course of human evolution there simultaneous evolved a species of primates with an inseminating lactating physically weaker gender and a womb carrying stronger gender. The strong womb carryers would basically have complete say over procreation and the inseminators would simply avail themselves as options. Non-consensual intercourse would be more difficult...
far beyond my ken
what pleasures the Corsican must have collected
but not the very most decadent, I’m sure
And I am nothing but, a nobody
my life unwinds so slowly
a day by sorry, oh day
night by something something night
the past glows like a treasure
the present is a present

apparently the Republic of Macedonia is not really where Macedonia is supposed to be since most of what was Macedonia is in Greece and this new country hijacked their name so if they want to join the EU they have to be called Macedonia001 or Mac3d0n1@

Sourcecode
I few months ago I had a story premise about a guy waking up in another person’s body much like Source Code but then when the trains blew up I was like wow what was I doing? I had a guy wake up in the body of a Republican self help author… note to self, explode shit.

Jeffrey Eugenides seems like the kind of guy who would laugh at any joke you attempted and expected at least as much from you.
The New Yorker
So I have a kindle subscription to The New Yorker. I’d love to twalk about it with someone else who reads this shit.
In this most recent issue they have a section called Starting Out featuring anecdotes by popular literary writers about something earlier on in their life. These people include Junot Diaz, Jhumpa Lahiri, Jennifer Egan, this years Tea Obrecht, and some other ones that I had...

Davis people did you ever hear of David Gitelson the Johnny Appleseed of the Vietnam War?
movie: happy thank you more please
Single people in their late twenties early thirties in china are called left overs. But in New York, they are the subject of romantic independent cinema. What strikes me most about this movie, in a good way, is that the actors and acresses have the faces of parents of people I know but the hair cuts of my friends. That is amazing. I will be there soon, brava.

Watching Rite the excorcism movie
IT really doesn’t matter what sorts of theories of epistemology we have if, in terms of forensics, we are as vulnerable as a public computer with no firewall waiting to be hacked emotionally. Doubt cannot protect you from the deceiver. Only faith can save you. And only the knowledge of literary tricks can save your night’s sleep from SCARY MOVIES AAHHHH

Why I'm such a bad writer
I started reading how to books on fiction writing. I read the beginning of a bunch (free kindle samples) and half of one that I paid for. With my new found tools I took a closer look at the stories I wrote before and realized that none of them were really stories. Unknowingly I was a disciple of the school of anti-story and I learned well. But do I really want to be an anti-writer? The following...

Beauty unappreciated is beauty wasted
And I think we can all agree that beauty is a terrible thing to waste. Why would you ever allow such immeasurably valuable treasures to dissipate without a fight? Yet, the creativity of the Chinese youth has gone to waste for many decades now. Even today, in the age of digital effluence when every coming of age leaves behind an image trail, thick or thin, of magical moments, we still see no social...
Ideas
Sometimes you have a half baked idea and you are really excited about pursuing it and you read something by some DEAD guy who already anticipated your intention and SHAT ALL OVER IT so you are forced to think way harder about the whole thing, greatly diminishing your sense of excitement.
