Noah Cicero said...: people should go and check it out.

people should check how many co-authors there are on it. If anyone knows what each other co-author contributed to the book and gets them all right i will send them something.; 6:33 PM
billikenbluff said...: a bit dramatic, me thinks. a bunch of damn serious talk and self-examination.; 9:02 PM
billikenbluff said...: speaking tying everything into a neat little package and putting a bow on it, I just read this away message on AIM:

The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.

it's simple and I like it. it makes me feel comfortable and right.; 9:08 PM
Tao Lin said...: george, you need to read it from the beginning

the exerpt was bad idea, you don't have the tone right; 9:59 PM
billikenbluff said...: fair enough i'll see what lurks below.; 10:20 PM
Noah Cicero said...: dude, it is a book about zombies.

the book is cheesmo.; 1:48 AM
Noah Cicero said...: my blog is broke, it says, "there are errors." Nothing on the page will change, has anybody gotten this and figured out how to fix it?; 11:47 AM
Chief said...: It reads more like a movie script than anything else.

Roger Corman should direct "The Living and the Dead."; 9:54 PM
Noah Cicero said...: i was watching roger corman during that whole time when writing it.

best trio ever:
Vincent Price, Boris Karloff and Petey Lorey.

it was actually a movie script, i know somebody that makes horror movies, then i started writing it and it got all weird and wasn't like a movie script, there is too much dialogue. In underground horror movies, people are just told to communicate what-needs-to-be-said-to-push-the-plot-along in their own words.

I realized that actors would not memorize my lines and would probably make shit up within my lines. I know what kind of person I am, that would piss me off. If i wrote a broadway play and some actor added a line to what i wrote, i would beat that actor with something hard after it was over.; 11:22 PM

Guy Barry said...: Too much self examination will make you depressed if you're honest
?; 10:24 AM
Chief said...: Not enough self-examination when you're happy will make you ruthless and boring.; 11:48 AM
Tao Lin said...: extreme examination: feelings of insanity, depression, disillusion, feelings of irreconcilable detachment from before you did 'too much examination'

average examination: stable, boring, ocean sunfish, richard yates

little examination: binky tabby yoshi, shamu; 12:03 PM
Richard Yates said...: sean strub; 6:03 AM
Richard Yates said...: he is going to google that. fuck.; 6:04 AM
Tao Lin said...: it's okay, he was just being nice so he wouldn't have to do more work to get another person for the room; 8:20 AM
Richard Yates said...: he probably just didn't want to seem racist. the first thing he said when he called about it was 'for the asian man right?'; 6:19 AM
Tao Lin said...: he's a repressed heterosexual and is just being homosexual just to not seem homophobic; 2:39 PM
Richard Yates said...: smart asian; 6:54 PM
