muumuu house extravaganza post
1x bookslut blurb
"I read [DURING MY NERVOUS BREAKDOWN... & SOMETIMES MY HEART PUSHES MY RIBS] recently, and reread them both immediately after finishing them. Gorrell and Kennedy are the most talented young poets I've read in years, and their books are stunning — it's the kind of writing that's impulsive and emotionally raw, but also more layered and sophisticated than they appear. It's hard for any poet to be funny and heartbreaking in the space of one poem, or even one stanza, but it's a skill these young writers execute perfectly. They made me excited about poetry and independent publishing all over again." - Michael Schaub, Bookslut1x official book release

"Such hilarious, surprising, aphoristic poems. They do not stop at funny: they move into the territory of sad; the drab panic of daily life." - Deb Olin Unferth, author of VACATION and MINOR ROBBERIES

hope more people write about muumuu house
blog post title kind of doesn't seem accurate yet
feeling nervous about the blog post title
Plan B is well read by UK hipsters. I have an acqaintence who reads it religiously. Everything she says sounds like a magazine article and you get about as much response when you say something back.
Viral phenomena are objects or patterns able to replicate themselves or convert other objects into copies of themselves when these objects are exposed to them.
seems like a accurate title. i'm pretty excited about this 'extravaganza'. i <3 muumuu house
Tao, have you considered aiming for "bacterial" rather than viral
Or fungal, whatever works
i always try to do what bsg says about not checking his email for a week at the beginning of the plan b magazine article. i give up usually at most an hour or two later.
@giles sweet
@ryan sweet
@bearfish sweet
@hey just want to go viral, not fungal, i think
Sweet (originally The Sweet) is a British rock band that rose to prominence as one of the main glam rock acts in the 1970s, with the original line-up consisting of Brian Connolly, Steve Priest, Andy Scott, and Mick Tucker.
I think you should have 2 cows go "moo, moo" at all readings.
tao lin you are great as far as i know, i think that i you would like reading my blog sometimes. only if you also think so, then read it, i don't want to beg, but i feel like i might need to beg. okay:

the word 'extravaganza' makes me feel really nervous like i might need to crawl into a laundry basket or something
don't feel bad though
i'm sorry if i made you feel bad

Don't wanna see your face, you better disappear
The fire's in their eyes and their words are really clear
So beat it, just beat it
You better run, you better do what you can

You wanna be tough, better do what you can

They're out to get you, better leave while you can
Don't wanna be a boy, you wanna be a man
You wanna stay alive, better do what you can
So beat it, just beat it
You have to show them that you're really not scared
You're playin' with your life, this ain't no truth or dare
They'll kick you, then they beat you,
Then they'll tell you it's fair
So beat it, but you wanna be bad
Just beat it, beat it, beat it, beat it

wtf
How come you're always such a fussy young man
Don't want no Captain Crunch, don't want no Raisin Bran
Well, don't you know that other kids are starving in Japan
So eat it, just eat it
Don't want to argue, I don't want to debate
Don't want to hear about what kind of food you hate
You won't get no dessert 'till you clean off your plate
So eat it
Don't you tell me you're full
Just eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it
Get yourself an egg and beat it
Have some more chicken, have some more pie
It doesn't matter if it's boiled or fried
Just eat it, eat it, just eat it, eat it
Just eat it, eat it, just eat it, eat it, ooh
Your table manners are some cryin' shame
You're playin' with your food, this ain't some kind of game
Now, if you starve to death, you'll just have yourself to blame
So eat it, just eat it
You better listen, better do what you're told
You haven't even touched your tuna casserole
You better chow down or it's gonna get cold
So eat it
I don't care if you're full
Just eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it
Open up your mouth and feed it
Have some more yogurt, have some more spam
It doesn't matter if it's fresh or canned
Just eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it
Don't you make me repeat it
Have a banana, have a whole bunch
It doesn't matter what you had for lunch
Just eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it
Eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it
Eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it
If it's gettin' cold, reheat it
Have a big dinner, have a light snack
If you don't like it, you can't send it back
Just eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it
Get yourself an egg and beat it (oh lord)
Have some more chicken, have some more pie
It doesn't matter if it's boiled or fried
Just eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it
Don't you make me repeat it (oh no)
Have a banana, have a whole bunch
It doesn't matter what you had for lunch
Just eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it
Blog post title is apt. A real "winner."
I found BSG's travel piece poetically sensitive.
It's hot here today.
anne bonny?! i used to live right by that store, and then it moved somewhere else. I have a hat from that store. and a sword.
final thad, it moved to summit avenue, where 'no space' was
do you know where that is
it's basically across the street from the summit pub, sun liquor, and top pot
