Entry re '"3x contest" re Richard Yates'

  • mollymaryobrien: hao does this work
  • is this correct??
  • me: i think so
  • i hope so
  • mollymaryobrien: awww SUPER!
  • me: YES
  • mollymaryobrien: let's get this ball rolling...i can has laundry in the dryer, dryin' away
  • so first of all, i have read some of the other entries for thisa here contest
  • me: (we can use that as a metaphor for something later on, about tao)
  • mollymaryobrien: and all of them are very 'self-aware' and say things like 'oh we need to type longer'
  • me: yeah, i noticed that... let's just drag it on as much as we can; we get a free bük either way
  • mollymaryobrien: bootiful
  • so sir
  • you seem to possess a copy of Richard Yates, yesh?
  • me: not yet, which will make this a bit more difficult
  • mollymaryobrien: WE'LL SPECULATE
  • SPECUL8
  • me: even better!
  • mollymaryobrien: so the html giant review
  • me: yesh?
  • mollymaryobrien: i read it...it is somewhat of a 'cop-out'
  • (sounds like a bad police comedy movie)
  • me: oh god, yes.... the 'best book yet' bit was scary
  • mollymaryobrien: tis. 'revision and sabotage at once'
  • unsure what that 'means'
  • me: not so sure, we'll have to see what happens with the whole Dakota/Haley dynamic
  • mollymaryobrien: is it wrong to picture HJO and DF both as the little blonde children they were when they were 'young'
  • me: seems appropriate
  • mollymaryobrien: i know Yates is supposed to be some sort of 'lolita' story
  • would rather think of DF as that kid in 'i am sam'
  • me: which one exactly?
  • oh, never mind, i thought you meant HJO lulz
  • mollymaryobrien: oh bahaha. he was probably in that movie too
  • tao can remake 'i am sam'
  • he should probably start doing films soon
  • me: that would be wonderful, with fatty HJO as sam
  • mollymaryobrien: seems poised for 'mega empire' a la p. diddy
  • or is it just diddy now
  • tao diddy
  • me: that would be 'disturbing,' i feel
  • would ke$ha write a song about tao?
  • mollymaryobrien: yes but it would mention him as a side dish, almost
  • 'i like tao lin/i like cocaine'
  • 'i like things that are bad for brain'
  • 'beep beep boop'
  • 'tao lin'
  • me: drunk sounds
  • 'i like your beard'
  • mollymaryobrien: 'wish tao lin had a beard'
  • 'nope actually i don't'
  • 'says ke$ha'
  • me: 'under "severely intoxicated" double quotes'
  • mollymaryobrien: yes.
  • i want tao lin as a megabrand
  • like target
  • tao-get
  • tao lin brand paper towels
  • richard yates dish soap
  • me: TAO*LIN, like Wal*Mart?
  • mollymaryobrien: AAUUGHHH
  • YAH
  • me: RY cereal
  • what would RY cereal be like?
  • mollymaryobrien: shoplifting from american apparel....apparel
  • would be like...well it would have to involve nutritional yeast
  • me: The Tao of Tao kombucha
  • mollymaryobrien: that's the only thing i know fo sho
  • Tao Foods instead of Whole Foods
  • w8 question do you think tao has ever met the real richard yates
  • me: unlikely, i'd think
  • mollymaryobrien: wonder what the real richard yates is like
  • me: RY irl died ~1992?
  • mollymaryobrien: he must have been in a bad 'fucking' mood when he wrote rev. road
  • oh DANG was hoping for a showdown
  • me: yeah, sucks, disappointing
  • mollymaryobrien: need a richard yates' ghost showdown with tao, a la every shakespeare play ever
  • the real richard yates, vs. tao lin, vs. carles
  • all wearing brandon scott gorrell t-shirts
  • me: that could possibly push his fame into the mega-empire conglomeration you want
  • ...we want
  • mollymaryobrien: ...all of us want.
  • me: indeed
  • mollymaryobrien: yeah then the world would x-plode
  • me: lin-plode
  • mollymaryobrien: hipster runoff would have a 'field' day
  • what if tao lin had a language like newspeak only it was taospeak
  • me: taospeak... like... high usage of 'single quotes' and used solely for anthropomorphizing hamsters?
  • mollymaryobrien: would be great...the whole world as a hamster
  • a scare-quote hamster...'hamster'
  • me: Third Planet from the Sun Hamster, or eartham
  • 'Eartham'
  • mollymaryobrien: beautiful
  • so you read the gawker essay about tao getting arrested, rite?
  • me: lovely piece, yes
  • mollymaryobrien: thought it was the best shit gawker has put on the interwebs in a 'long' time
  • gawker used to h8 him
  • now i think they'd 'bone' him
  • through the internet
  • me: he did 'tag' their door w/ 'britney spears' stickers
  • who wouldn't?
  • mollymaryobrien: true that. feel like the gawker essay showed a 'heroic' kind of bravery that i am unfamiliar with
  • like...if i were banned from a place, i would crap my pants every time i got NEAR that place
  • but not tao lin...no...he was all like...fuck the 'man'
  • me: i feel like i'd 'forget' in the same sense that tao 'forgot' after ~500x going into [the place]
  • but i'd be too much of a wuss to actually go inside
  • mollymaryobrien: feel like NYU send a pic of tao to possibly every person working at NYU ever...in the history
  • wonder if there was a reward for 'catching' him
  • a free NYU keychain or mug
  • maybe even a sweatshirt
  • me: sony 'in-ear' earphones
  • mollymaryobrien: would be a great prez(ent) for them
  • might be a good topic for a tao story or tao novel
  • JAIL LYFE
  • me: i feel like the po-po in the gawker story were secretly tao lin 'fans'
  • mollymaryobrien: on da inside
  • very very possible
  • they knew a lot about him
  • like they had read his wikipedia
  • if he in fact has one
  • me: he does
  • i feel like he set it up
  • mollymaryobrien: hahahaha
  • me: Tao Lin Wikipedia Presence
  • mollymaryobrien: Tao Lin Walmart.com Presence
  • me: RY does not have a wikipedia presence, it seems
  • mollymaryobrien: must fix this!
  • even though we don't know what it's 'about'
  • besides HJO and DF
  • me: i feel like we'd auto-win this contest if we did that
  • mollymaryobrien: and the mysterious man with the shell in his face on the cover
  • me: we can post a page with RY as the title and pitchurs of the cover and HJO/DF
  • that would 'sum it up,' to some degree
  • why am i taospeaking?
  • mollymaryobrien: oh no i 'am' as well
  • think it automatically happens when we talk about him
  • me: 'good'
  • mollymaryobrien: what we talk about when we 'talk' about tao
  • me: murakami and tao should be made into a mashup
  • mollymaryobrien: would be epic
  • what if you could do literary mashups (besides those fucking zombie ones)
  • me: Tao Lin Epic Presence
  • mollymaryobrien: Norwegian American Apparel
  • The Second Richard Yates Attack
  • me: What I Eeeee Eee Eeee When I Eeeee Eee Eeee About Shoplifting
  • mollymaryobrien: oh fuck yeah that's beautiful
  • need 'microsoft word' program to accomplish this
  • might get busted for semi-plagiarism
  • oh well
  • me: not if everything is in '""'
  • then it would be ironic
  • mollymaryobrien: CITE YR SOURCEZ
  • me: and sarcastic
  • simultaneously
  • mollymaryobrien: ok so you know how in this 'contest'
  • one of the links is to 'Justin Taylor' commenting on the HTMLGIANT review
  • i'm wondering if that was a mocking thing
  • 'Justin Taylor' seemed to take everything very seriously
  • think he is a high school kid...in an AP class
  • me: yes, i kind of noticed that too, like everything about RY was 'majorly overanalyzed'
  • mollymaryobrien: he used the word 'morbid' in a funny way
  • me: ...Hemingway
  • mollymaryobrien: like he didn't understand what 'morbid' means
  • he also used the word 'inasmuch' which i'm not fond of
  • want 2 think that tao is 'laughing' at him somewhat
  • me: he did say "Morbid" though, so it may be intentionally ambiguous
  • mollymaryobrien: true...my fave is when he compares RY to "Hills LIke White Elephants"
  • me: 'utter dispassion'
  • mollymaryobrien: i want to read "Hills Like White Elephants" but in a tao-esque gchat
  • would be hilar
  • ious
  • me: would!
  • mollymaryobrien: tao + hemingway + murakami +...this justin taylor shit
  • =
  • i don't know
  • me: may work, why not throw in some... Dostoevsky into that?
  • Joyce?
  • mollymaryobrien: o y not
  • me: perhaps even better--put it in Odyssey form
  • mollymaryobrien: an epic 'poem'
  • me: yes
  • that would 'confuse' 'Justin Taylor' 'to a large degree' i feel
  • mollymaryobrien: probably would make him go back to his Norton anthology and go 'hmmmmmm'
  • 'Justin Taylor' in my mind looks like justin bieber
  • problematic
  • me: omg was just about to say
  • mollymaryobrien: baaahaha
  • ok so we need to go on the guerilla tao sticker mission
  • me: Taylor Swift
  • with Bieber fae
  • *face
  • mollymaryobrien: oh brother! 'Taylor Swift' would be a good tao character name
  • me: sounds like a promising character for a book titled 'Miranda July'
  • i wonder if RY would be a good 1st book in a trilogy
  • mollymaryobrien: Richard Yates....Miranda July....and....Jordan Castro
  • bahahaha
  • me: HA!
  • love it
  • mollymaryobrien: better than the lord of the rings, thats fer sher
  • me: the cover for JC would have ~1x 'dirt-stache' on it
  • mollymaryobrien: possibly a sweater photographed onlookbook.nu
  • possible ~3x views of sweater
  • me: by noah kalina
  • mollymaryobrien: haaahahah
  • w8
  • one of the 'non-legit' contest entries
  • is just tao inserted in crime and punishment
  • me: i noticed that, seems 'gimmicky' to a large extent
  • but also 'potentially' wonderful
  • mollymaryobrien: true...probably didn't put enough effort into it
  • plus you need many russian diminuitives of tao's name
  • taoscha
  • me: i read the equivalent of ~20x pages irl and felt [nothing]
  • mollymaryobrien: taoletska
  • me: linsky
  • mollymaryobrien: taovna linskya
  • me: eff
  • mollymaryobrien: suddenly 'feel bad' because those are feminine ones
  • taoov linskov
  • me: if tao lin were lin tao, he'd be a she
  • mollymaryobrien: this be true
  • very true
  • me: so perhaps linskya taovna would be appropriate
  • mollymaryobrien: da, da
  • me: and she could have a severely troubling murderous dynamic with linskov
  • mollymaryobrien: tao lin cast in a movie version of C&P
  • me: 'very russian'
  • mollymaryobrien: russian period drama
  • many shabby rags
  • and stock footage of st. petersburg
  • vodka...a lot of vodka
  • me: computer died, i think it was the russia talk
  • mollymaryobrien: hahaha
  • me: Tao Lin Vodka Presence
  • mollymaryobrien: better dead than red
  • me: hahaha
  • mollymaryobrien: TAO LIN VODKA SPONSORSHIP
  • shoplifting from the liquor store
  • me: Tao Lin Commie Social-Presence
  • Shoplifting from the General Good of Humanity
  • mollymaryobrien: Tao Lin x Stalin Mashup (Girl Talk remix)
  • me: feat. Lady Gaga
  • mollymaryobrien: covered live by Arcade Fire
  • me: damn
  • mollymaryobrien: Fourth Arcade Fire album: 'Richard Yates' Neon Bible Funeral In The Suburbs"
  • me: or a New Porns mashup
  • mollymaryobrien: oooh yeee
  • this is a side note and not technically 'on topic'
  • but there's this girl from high school whose mother is having a baby
  • me: we have ~20% OT convos left, i think
  • mollymaryobrien: and she keeps posting upd8s like 'her water just broke'
  • something tao would probably mock in a short story
  • me: he'd note on how water can't 'break'
  • her water just 'broke'
  • mollymaryobrien: hahah
  • me: ~1x baby 'popped out'
  • mollymaryobrien: it's not a baby, its a 'baby'
  • baby pops out and sees doctor, other doctor who seems less like a doctor, metal thing, computer thing, ~4x 'people watching,' ~1x 'awkward video camera'
  • me: colors remind me of "Synergy" brand 'kombucha'
  • very disturbing
  • mollymaryobrien: baby pops out and asks if it can bum '-natural' 'organic' american spirit lights
  • no one 'has' any
  • what is the title of this tao lin story?
  • me: it's a Jordan Castro excerpt
  • mollymaryobrien: AAAHAH
  • me: Taylor Swift walks 'into' the 'maternity "ward"'
  • mollymaryobrien: beautiful
  • me: 'sings' about ~1x 'boyfriend'
  • mollymaryobrien: drinks 'Synergy' brand Kombucha
  • me: 'baby' 'sings' 'Baby'
  • mollymaryobrien: wonders if 'alcohol' in kombucha will harm her 'squeaky' clean image
  • me: TAO LIN BROADWAY PRESENCE
  • mollymaryobrien: you know what that title would be
  • Tao Lin! the musical
  • me: 'musical'
  • mollymaryobrien: oh yes
  • Tao Lin '!' the 'musical'
  • banner in helvetica font
  • me: Sutton Foster as 'Taylor Swift'
  • Justin Bieber as 'baby'
  • mollymaryobrien: Jordan Castro as 'himself'
  • 'male model'
  • me: Tao Lin as 'Lin Tao' the mother
  • from russia
  • mollymaryobrien: from russia, da
  • this is beautiful
  • this deserves a wikipedia page and it doesn't even 'exist'
  • me: i'll work on it
  • ok, now, re Tao Lin, what Lady Gaga single would his writing be?
  • better question: what Beyoncé single would RY be?
  • mollymaryobrien: oh boy
  • want to say something off the destinys child 'xmas' album
  • seems like an 'approp' answer
  • or also 'cater 2 u'
  • me: coffee would have 'flown out' of my nose
  • mollymaryobrien: hahahaha
  • me: but i am not currently drinking coffee... 'coffee'
  • mollymaryobrien: want to see tao lin wearing lady gaga oscillating metal outfit
  • would be 'approp' as well
  • me: i feel like RY would be something like 'crazy in love' due to 'large "mainstream" appeal' re 'page-turner'
  • it would be 'approp'
  • mollymaryobrien: ooh yes that's good
  • ok so the time has come to finish 'doing' my laundry
  • do you think we chatted long enough about tao lin/tao lin internet presence/richard yates?
  • i feel 'good' about this
  • me: i shall check, we could 'continue' at [later time]
  • mollymaryobrien: i also feel 'good' about 'vandalizing' burlington VT with tao stickers
  • me: !!! we need to discuss that, i forgot to answer your message re [that]
  • go do your laundry, i'll be here later if 'u' 'feel like it'
  • mollymaryobrien: ok has this chat bonanza been saved on your 'comp'?
  • me: yes, and it's only 307 lines so far
  • mollymaryobrien: ok we will reconvene...i'm currently 'working' but i'll be on after 11
  • me: i 'don't sleep'
  • mollymaryobrien: haha ok well tata 4 nao
  • me: alright, have fun with laundry
  • mollymaryobrien: still there dudeface?
  • me: hell yes
  • mollymaryobrien: sick nasty
  • me: high violet has been keeping me entertained
  • which led me to twitter, for some reason, and i saw that htmlgiant posted another contest re 'richard yates'
  • mollymaryobrien: oh man what is it?
  • me: and tao 'tweeted' it--post >200 words on one of the video submissions to 3x contest
  • but only the first 5 get it, baaahh
  • mollymaryobrien: holy crap at 'contest mania'
  • me: lotsa free books
  • i feel i won't have to 'purchase' books ever again
  • mollymaryobrien: if we were to overanalyze a la 'Justin Taylor' it would seem that there is some sort of 'literary democracy' going on
  • or perhaps more of a 'meritocracy'
  • me: or a battle to the death
  • mollymaryobrien: free bookz 4 evreyone...az long as you particip8 in contests
  • me: gladiatorial bookbath
  • mollymaryobrien: Tao Lin Literary Ultimate Fighter Competition Presence
  • me: (RT @htmlgiant)
  • did you watch any of Jordan Castro's 'feature-length' video?
  • mollymaryobrien: not sure if the one i saw was 'feature length'
  • but it was him 'robo-tripping' and reading a poem
  • was 'funnie'
  • me: it was ~2 hours long
  • that one was high-larious
  • mollymaryobrien: oh no this one was quite short
  • made me want 2 robo-trip
  • what i would like is for tao to do one of those 'every drug i've ever done' pieces
  • me: tao has a vimeo account that makes me want 2 robo-trip at all times
  • mollymaryobrien: like the one brandon scott gorrell did for thought catalog
  • luv reading about people doing drugs
  • me: BSG could write a drug encyclopedia a la DFW
  • mollymaryobrien: would be 'siq'
  • me: i feel like the 'factory farmed hamster' would appreciate it
  • mollymaryobrien: i enjoy when BSG says he always was afraid of cocaine because he would have 'crossed the threshold into being 'fucked' '
  • hahaha
  • seems like tao lin's whole oeuvre is about what is 'fucked'
  • how do we get 'fucked'
  • how do we get 'unfucked'
  • me: 'we are 'fucked''
  • mollymaryobrien: is it cool 2 b 'fucked'
  • me: i don't think one can be 'unfucked'
  • mollymaryobrien: will my health insurance cover me being 'fucked'
  • me: how does one 'unfuck' oneself?
  • i am not sure
  • mollymaryobrien: what doez that even meen mang
  • me: unless.... Tao Lin Insurance Presence takes over
  • mollymaryobrien: Tao Lin Aetna Blue Cross Blue Shield Partnership
  • eventual corpor8 takeover
  • me: feat. AARP
  • mollymaryobrien: with short fiction in every new AARP mag
  • which my mom gets in the 'mail'
  • me: short fiction re 'Richard Yates's last days'
  • in poetry form performed by HJO and DF
  • shakespearean
  • mollymaryobrien: with a 'gentle' reminder that everyone especially old people are 'fucked'
  • + a hint of...lord byron
  • for the old people
  • me: ahhhh, yes
  • mollymaryobrien: and...shelley...shelley is old too
  • wonder if tao will ever write abt 'old' people
  • me: i agree, zombified
  • mollymaryobrien: 'old' meaning like 'over 35' or sumthing
  • me: he may write abt 'zombies'
  • he wrote abt 'RY'
  • mollymaryobrien: Tao Lin And American Apparel And Zombies
  • i would like for tao lin to do some am appy ads
  • of him
  • as a zombie
  • still wearing the tri-blend athletic v-neck t-shirt
  • and corresponding mesh gym shorts
  • me: should have suggested it as an outfit for the 'Nylon' interview
  • mollymaryobrien: would be 'pervy' and kind of 'awesome'
  • me: Tao Lin as 'pervy 'American Apparel' zombie who 'eats' Taylor 'Swift's' brain'
  • in Act ~3
  • mollymaryobrien: cool!
  • i would like for Taylor 'Swift's' brain to keep singing wholesome love 'songs'
  • even while in Tao's tummy
  • would be a 'freak show'
  • me: 'disturginly alt'
  • 'disturbingly typo'd'
  • mollymaryobrien: that would maybe be a great title for a short storee
  • Disturbingly Typo'd/Disrufnginly Fybod
  • me: hahaha
  • mollymaryobrien: would suggest 'ingestion' of some sort of 'drug'
  • me: 'cocaine'
  • would be 'fucked'
  • mollymaryobrien: so 'fucked'
  • i have an idea
  • i think the tao lin contest is a brain-programming activity
  • that our brains are 'now' programmed to finish each other's tao lin 'ish' sentences
  • maybe we are 'zombies' already
  • or 'vamps'
  • 'fangbangers'
  • me: seems 'possible'/'highly likely'
  • mollymaryobrien: tao lin cashing in on vampire craze
  • is RY a secret vampire novel
  • me: Tao Lin Bot Fly Presence
  • mollymaryobrien: haaaa
  • whoa
  • me: dat wud suck
  • mollymaryobrien: just typed 'iiiiiiiiiiii' without looking
  • 'possessed'
  • me: that sounds an awful lot like Eeeeeeee
  • mollymaryobrien: Tao Lin's Twilight: Taolight
  • 'super possessed' then
  • iiii iiiiiii iiiiiii
  • tao lin + k stew
  • making 'facial expressions'
  • me: let's go on a 'killing-rampage'
  • mollymaryobrien: i forget...when tao writes does he talk a lot about 'facial expressions'
  • seems like he might
  • me: neutral facial expressions
  • he does
  • 'slightly concerned'
  • mollymaryobrien: theater exercise: make tao lin 'facial expressions'
  • many different ones all in a row
  • me: i feel like tao lin 'facial expressions' would be like 'lindsay lohan' 'facial expressions'
  • mollymaryobrien: i like having 'lindsay lohan' in scare quotes
  • seems 'legit'
  • me: seems 'approp'
  • mollymaryobrien: seems METAPHORICAL a la 'Justin Taylor' analysis
  • metaphor of her 'life'
  • me: i feel like RY should have a 'prequel' re 'lindsay lohan'
  • mollymaryobrien: create a tao computer virus
  • YES
  • the tao virus goes through the interwebs and puts scare quotes where necessary
  • me: seems possible
  • mollymaryobrien: like in 'LiLos' life
  • me: haha
  • mollymaryobrien: and also maybe the 'wendys' corporation
  • or a mediocre emo band
  • tao should start a mediocre emo band
  • me: or it could 'take over' due to 'significant concern' for the 'blogosphere' a la 'smart house' 'disney channel "original" movie'
  • mollymaryobrien: my 'jaw' just dropped open
  • so 'approp'
  • me: 'lol'
  • mollymaryobrien: tao lin writes a sequel to 'smart house'
  • me: would make 'mad bank'
  • mollymaryobrien: 'smart' 'house '2': we are so 'fucked'
  • me: with 'lindsay lohan'
  • as 'severely concerned [character]'
  • mollymaryobrien: so 'concerned'
  • shit 'son' i gotta go briefly, will be back in ten to continue the madness
  • me: no problem
  • mollymaryobrien: returned!
  • had to 'deal' with a student
  • good times
  • me: 'coolio'
  • 'high school' student?
  • mollymaryobrien: yes sir
  • me: seems like tao would write about 'high school' 'students' in 'lindsay lohan'
  • and about how they are 'fucked'
  • mollymaryobrien: high school students are 'especially' 'fucked' for sure
  • wonder abt tao's 'audience'
  • seems like high schoolers would enjoy his stuff
  • 'something' 'something' 'mumble' 'nihilism' 'somethine'
  • me: 'college applications', slight 'neutral facial expression' re 'SAT'/'ACT'
  • mollymaryobrien: occasional expressions of being 'fucked' re 'AP' classes
  • 'football' 'cheerleading' 'low-level drug dealing' etc
  • me: RY would 'appropriately' resonate with the 'high school' 'crowd' due to HJO/DF PRESENCE
  • mollymaryobrien: true that
  • me: and how HJO and DF are '"royally" fucked'
  • mollymaryobrien: will 'relate' with same 'feelings' of 'fuckedness'
  • also maybe sum 'lil tweens' will have seen 'rev. road'
  • due to 'leo dicap'
  • and will resonate/vibrate with 'rich yates'
  • thus creating 'built in' audience
  • me: 'leo dicap' reminds of 'handicap'
  • 'quantum-well containment'
  • mollymaryobrien: heh heh eh
  • me: 'The Sun Also Rises' 'handicap'
  • mollymaryobrien: ahahah
  • me: Justin Taylor would 'agree'
  • mollymaryobrien: 'Justin Taylor' seeks strong 'affinity' with 'Ernie Hemi'
  • 'hemi' as in the 'engine'
  • seems 'approp' 'masculine' for 'mister hemi'
  • me: it does
  • mollymaryobrien: 'Justin Taylor' might be the ghost of ernie hemi
  • tao lin might be the ghost of 'ernie hemi'
  • me: partaking in significant 'self-promotion' of "Hills Like White Elephants"
  • tao lin might be 'Justin Taylor'
  • mollymaryobrien: ver 'possible'
  • me: posting on htmlgiant for 'mad hits'
  • mollymaryobrien: 'Justin Taylor' might be the aborted 'baby' of the girl in 'Hills Like White Ellies'
  • 'much' controversy
  • me: 'Richard Yates' may have been tao lin prior to 'fake death'
  • mollymaryobrien: 'raging' baby
  • me: ~1x 'baby' who 'pops out' in Tao Lin '!' the 'musical'
  • mollymaryobrien: their 'souls' might have 'merged' like something out of 'goosebumps' r.l. stine
  • oh man
  • seems 'vaguely' 'political'
  • 'supernatural'
  • 'raging babies' and all
  • me: deals with 'concerns re [abortion/religious 'debates']'
  • mollymaryobrien: so 'fucked'
  • definition of 'fucked'
  • if we found the def. of 'fucked'
  • would be so 'cool'
  • me: OED sez 'fucked'
  • would be Tao Lin '!' the 'musical'
  • 1912 'edition'
  • mollymaryobrien: OED is 'god' in this case
  • though that is 'vaguely' political too
  • what is 'god'
  • is god 'fucked'
  • me: 'Richard Yates'
  • mollymaryobrien: is 'richard yates' god
  • is 'Justin Taylor' god
  • is that 'fucked'
  • yes that is
  • me: that is 'fucked'
  • 'fubar'd'
  • mollymaryobrien: haahahaha
  • do u think tao will read 'this' convo
  • perhaps have 'an' intern do it
  • me: i feel like tao will 'read' this and feel like it is 'legit'
  • mollymaryobrien: hope so!
  • me: perhaps we will be 'featured' on 'Thought Catalog'
  • mollymaryobrien: would be 'dream come true' a la inception
  • me: perhaps tao will feel 'vaguely inspired' to 'compose' 'lindsay lohan', 'jordan castro', 'miranda july'
  • mollymaryobrien: would 'love' this
  • me: would perhaps 'die' if this happened
  • mollymaryobrien: so 'fucked' yet 'awesome'
  • we passed the 'mark'
  • we have 'won' in 'spirit' like my track coach told me when i came in third in 'shot put'
  • me: 'in spirit' seems 'vaguely political'
  • but true
  • mollymaryobrien: it does
  • we're 'beefing' with the vatican
  • 'currently'
  • me: we have not discussed 'defacing public property' re 'Burlington VT'
  • mollymaryobrien: shall we? as a 'closer'?
  • what are some tao-ish spots
