Novels written on cell-phones, with simple sentences and untraditional plotting, are hitting the best-seller list in Japan. Maybe its time to abandon gmail chat poems and start embracing cell-phone novels. Make your first million then give me a 5% finders fee and maybe the NY Times a 5% finder's fee. Then I will be a thousandaire!

Don't forget the little people.

i'm reading your book "eee eee" which arrived the other day from amazon. i could have picked up "the real bettie page" or "genealogy of nihilism" but your book was on top of the pile.

so far: it doesn't sound like very good pizza.

2nd thought: i don't have a clear mental image of joanna. is she attractive? is she too short or something?

3rd: no mention yet of mott the hoople a band from the 1970s who had one hit written by david bowie called "all the young dudes."

4th (extra, free) thought: i've never seen a moose lying down. is he dead? it was a nice moment when the bear said not all the bears are the same bear. i'll use that in life.
