ashley moyers said...: ps

my computer has been in the shop for a long time

i am looking at your blog for the first time in maybe a few months and there is a lot of good stuff, thank you for having a good blog; 6:16 PM
Tao Lin said...: ryan,

i think it made my life more exciting. i didn't deliver pizzas to pay rent. i delivered pizzas one summer in florida, while living with my parents. maybe i accidentally lied to the interviewer.

steve,

thank you

wells,

yes, i am in new york now

ashley,

thank you for saying i have a good blog. i will get books on monday and send to people including you.; 9:23 PM
ryan said...: i like how the media fills my head with propaganda. you are a pizza delivery man.; 10:09 PM
Steve said...: I think the journalsit just wanted an "interesting" "human-interest-esque" lede so she could win a Pulitzer.; 10:13 PM
Tao Lin said...: asian ho leaves a life of prostitution, smoothies, and drugs to write five books about severe depression; 10:20 PM
Blueberry said...: it would have been funny to talk about ha jin in that interview because some of the editors might have actually known who he is. you should have said you used to deliver pizzas with ha jin to support your heroin addiction.; 10:46 PM
ryan said...: that's terribly cliche, don't you think?; 11:12 PM
ryan said...: I'm sorry; 11:14 PM
Tao Lin said...: you should do my interviews for me from now on, they would be better

i want to get five interviews then assign them to people; 4:28 AM
ryan said...: You should hire a few interns to do your interviews in order to free up your schedule. You can put up a job listing for interns at a local college. You can call your company Domino's Pizza. Interns get v excited at the chance to work for free. You will get lots of interns, I bet. It is never lonely with Interns.; 2:04 PM
ashley moyers said...: can i do an interview

i am not doing anything exciting in life right now and that would give me one thing; 5:55 PM
Tao Lin said...: ryan,

i wrote down on my to-do list last night to get an intern off craigslist to help me get more facebook friends so when my books are out i can invite them to an 'event' for 'buying my books'

thank you for reinforcing my idea

my idea

ashley,

email me and i will give you a list of places that you can pitch an interview with me to, and then you can interview me

that would be nice

thank you for wanting to interview me; 7:02 PM

Tao Lin said...: yes. it is in new hyphen, the one with the blue cover.

i'm glad my books had a concrete effect on you.; 12:38 PM
Blueberry said...: victory for clay banes; 9:08 PM
