Take Me to your Eater
Me: Did you ever notice that almost everything at St. Mark's Market is priced at $4.59? I think they just made a bunch of $4.59 stickers and put them on as many things as possible and after they ran out they decided to only go .50 higher or lower.
Ben: Maybe St. Mark's is run by aliens because I am pretty sure at least Bamn! was down the street.
Me: Bamn? As in The Automat?
Ben: Yeah, it's like aliens are trying to assimilate to our culture only they got some things messed up. You know, they came to planet Earth and saw a bunch of delis and thought they'd open one up and try to fit in but they put the food in the vending machines and the drinks behind the counter. They used to have a sign out front that said "Open 8 days a week" I think the aliens just got a couple of things wrong and never figured it out. That's probably why it closed recently.

Ben: Did you know when you clip a dog's toe nails, you're clipping their nerve endings?
Me: Of course! If it's too short it's one of the most painful things you can do to an animal!
Ben: Second to killing them with a needle.
Me: Actually killing them with a needle is done because it's not painful.
Ben: I meant in their eye.

I'm up on Twitter up at SXSW →
It’s easier to update from there while on-the-go so brb Tumblr. Ttyl.
uh? twitter 101?
So 4 or 5 of my tweets from between 6 and 2 hours ago have magically disappeared. Why would that have happened?
JESSICA: The internet is a cruel place. How do you deal with criticism that may be lobbed your way?
TAO LIN: I think I view abstract criticism and praise with medium to severe detachment that is at times wry, uncomprehending, or amused. I look at the computer screen with a neutral facial expression while my brain processes that the shit-talking or praising information that is there is not going to concretely affect my life in concrete reality of going to the grocery store, eating watermelon, reading books on my bed, and eating dinner in a restaurant. If someone criticizes my concrete actions in concrete reality, I do take that into account and think about what I have done. For example, if someone says I caused 10,000 people or cows to feel physical pain I will think, “I shouldn’t have caused 10,000 people or cows to feel physical pain, I think,” and then probably do something to prevent that from happening in the future. If someone criticizes my non-rhetorical writing, or if I am feeling really existential and like my life is “art,” then I don’t really think about it, I just think, “There is no good or bad in art,” in a quiet monotone and then do something else.

Tao Lin, author of the most relevant poem to my life, “some of my happiest moments in life occur on AOL instant messenger” kept a blog posing as an intern of his.

I’ve got my twitter streaming into my tumblr now. Fancy stuff, right? As soon as you hooligans get hip to foursquare (read: the brand new version of google’s now-defunct dodgeball), I can switch it out and be completely satisfied with my social media savvy (read: creepering) capabilities.
WatchThe best TMI yet, specifically the last 10 seconds. I hope their TV show gets picked up if only so I can fall more in love with Meghan and cower in more fear every time Julia says nice things to me in public.

Rape flight is an animal sexual behavior exhibited by birds and characterized by one male of any given species knocking one female (and in some cases male) from the skies mid-flight and performing sexual congress as they fall. Often, the “bottom” dies on impact and the top hardly notices; he goes on for hours, sometimes returning later. More generally “rape flight” is a term referring to coercive...
SXSW
I’ve got my schedule as far as the official showcases go but can anyone reblog with a somewhat comprehensive working-list of all the unofficial concert happenings going on in Austin this week? Class? Anyone? Anyone? Something D-o-o economics. Bueller?

Jennifer Strange, a 28-year-old woman from Sacramento, died of water intoxication while trying to win a Wii console in a KDND 107.9 “The End” radio station’s “Hold Your Wee for a Wii” contest, which involved drinking large quantities of water without urinating.
I wrote something in this zine →
cathyerway:
I was approached by a guy who passes around these zines at SXSW each year, and contributed a story for it. Now I just have to find a copy while I’m down there. Eager to see what the hell else is in it!
Honestly, the Ice Cream Man zine is amazing AND it is given out with free ice cream from the Ice Cream Man truck. Basically, a bajillion people are going to lovingly read about your...
