feeling thankful that summer is almost over.  can almost walk around safely without seeing people outside trying to have fun. walking around late at night in the cold with nobody else out is really good.

you can preorder scott mcclanahan's first novel 'hill william' through 'ny tyrant press.' 

i tell ya, this kid is someone to look out for. he's got the goods and he's aiming at you. he's standing there firing the goods at you whether you like it or not. if this is god's country, it's surely mcclanahan's state, 5 out of 5, a new voice in american fiction.  simply put, he's got the scooper, he's leaning over the counter, he's waiting for you to select which goods you'd like so he can scoop em on up and put em in a 'to-go' container for you.  you walk up, you order the goods, he says, 'i'll see those goods, and raise you THESE goods.'  simply put, Dub-V's finest.  a real go-gettr with the right amount of 'can do' and just a lil sprinkle of, 'see ya wouldn't wanna be ya.'  i tell ya, this kid's work is scary good. motherfuckers acting like it's halloween when they read his shit because it's so scary good. make'em wanna feed they kids into a woodchipper.  talking bout, west virginia 'all up in ya.' a real go-getter with just the right amount of 'say what!?'  [concluding line about 'you've been warned' or 'nothing will be the same' or 'ups the game for USA fiction']

city-funded graffiti/advertisements that are phrases like 'the pressure is too much for you' or 'it won't be like it used to be ever again' or 'you're not in love' or '3 out of 4 people won't like you' or 'have a nice day, just not too nice' or 'lake michigan: the perfect place to drown'

writing residence where, when you're accepted, you get an email with an address and room number for a hotel just off the highway by wherever you live and you show up and someone locks you into you room and once a day, there is a knock at the door and you have to hide and someone slides in a bowl of lentil soup and a big glass of water and you can't leave for three weeks.

much love to all my people living as three people-- one riding/surfing/trying to stand on a crashing giant version of him/herself, one inside that giant version controlling it and making it crash facedown, and one as the giant version being crashed.

feel like i'd laugh so hard if every time i bought a $1 slice of pizza at 7-11, the cashier maintained eye contact with me while putting the slice in the triangle box and laughed insanely as s/he pushed it forward to me.
