congratulations barack obama, email me for a free book

barack obama, i know you read this blog from looking at statcounter

email me (or comment in the comments section of this post) your address within 24 hours and i will send you a free copy of 'eeeee eee eeee' as a congratulatory gesture for becoming the president, good job

with 'obama' as president my writing will increase in viability, i believe; with less political troubles comes more time for 'self indulgence' and 'meaninglessness,' perhaps a pen/faulkner award will be 'set aside' for me, the void in my soul shaped like a pen/faulkner award will maybe finally be filled, a 'latching' noise similar to in zelda when the triforce is reunited will be heard throughout the blogosphere, i will be completed finally as a human being and stop crying

i interviewed joy williams for bookslut (more joy williams info here)

the los angeles times interviewed dennis loy johnson

the mystery books have a new cd, 'russia,' that you can download (sample lyrics: 'i felt terribly bad that day / the sky has never looked so gray / i turned on every light that i could find in the house'; 'i found myself lying on my back / looking up at nothing / in a hot dark room / in the middle of the day / today / i felt utterly confused'), previous mystery books info here

bookslut also featured an interview recently with a writer who i once did something bad to, though usually im not that kind of person.

no forget it im a bad person and that was my true nature coming thru.

maybe under obama i'll kiss leopards and shit.

the drum skin with fingers touching it reached 'stand-out' vibrations during questions/answers 1 and 7.

Why in 24 hours? Why not any time?

Sending the president a free book is a good investment.

a 'latching' noise similar to in zelda when the triforce is reunited will be heard throughout the blogosphere.

Nice Zelda reference

You seem less depressed. Congratulations.

Okay I am not Barack, but I voted for him and was his former state constituent, and I really, really want to read EEEEE EEE EEEE and review it on my blog. I understand if you just want me to buy it -- but like I said, I can't get it out of the library here -- and I really want to review it because you are the only writer our age worth giving a damn about, so I hear everywhere, and I just want to be able to make my own comment....please read the reviews and please let me know if you would be so kind as to let me feel like a "real book reviewer" for once. If not you should at least contact the library system of the north shore of chicago and tell them to carry the book.
