Thank god I'm moving out in three days. But alas, that doesn't make me forget the last year of living with this guy. We were fairly good friends before moving in together. If you ask him, he'd probably say I was still his best friend. My roommate is very socially awkward and smokes weed a lot, he never cleans, and I think he looks to me for a lot of guidance in life (what to listen to, what to wear, etc.).

Most of what makes me angry is that it has to be obvious I do not enjoy his company. Sometimes I'm just an asshole to him. Regardless, he still sits in the living room for hours and hours, sometimes playing a song loudly over and over. It just seems selfish, unless he's expecting me to come "hang out" with him which is exactly the samething every time: we smoke, we play FIFA, he eats something, and he bitches about his job at a coffee shop.

Living with him has been grating, mostly because he never leaves the apartment (except to go to work) and because he never seems to talk about anything besides his shitty job. Sometimes he'll talk for a solid 15 minutes without any feedback from me (verbal or otherwise). I realize he is probably lonely, but I've come to resent him for his lack of cleaning and paying bills. I don't think he realizes that after I move out, it'll be a while before I feel the need to talk/hang out with him again (if ever).

This post probably doesn't make much sense but I need to get some of that shit off my chest.

i guess what i need to know before i bump it ahead of 10 other books is, is it one of those non-fiction works that takes insane liberties with narrative sturcture and ozmotes out into a million themes or is it more memoirish? im really adamently pursuing short format fiction/creative essays that blur into some sort of hybrid journalistic novel type deal right now. i was told this is where i need to start. t/f?

I believe the most D'Agata messes with structure is by collapsing his stay in Las Vegas to a single summer. He also uses composite characters. But the information he presents is solid, and I love his style (especially when showing the growth of language over 10,000 years. That part reminded me so much of Anne Carson's translation of Sappho). It's an easy read (because it's well-written and interesting), one that I will read again over vacation at the end of the month as I'm not sure I got everything the first time around.

I definitely need to check out Halls of Fame and his anthologies.

It's the best book I've read in a while. I go to the same school that D'Agata teaches at so I took a class with him this summer and am doing another next spring! He's a good teacher, too

just finished this:

A great book by a smart, sharp writer. It's about this mountain in Las Vegas called Yucca where the government was planning to store nuclear waste. Also about the city Las Vegas, suicide, humanity, language.

I have a pair of Fred Perry Madras checkered shorts that I bought from oki-ni in 2009. I have never worn them. They are simply too small.

http://wwwfredperry.com/men/trousers-and-shorts/madras-shorts.html

The shorts I am selling are identical to the ones above, except for minor color variations. I can provide photos if needed. I bought them for $140 and the Fred Perry website lists their new pairs at $118.

Tags intact. Size is 28".

I am open to offers.

yo that was pretty cool a2b489, but WHAT IS THAT SECOND SAMPLE THO DAYUMM>>> you should share more of your music if you got it, I have enjoyed the experimental bent in all your trax

the second sample is kind of this skewed version of the rest of the song with soulja boy vocals. made this track the other day, radiohead sample:

guys stop calling everything a concept

Fuck. For over a year now a married woman (she's going through a seperation, and is dating another guy) has been texting me naked pictures of herself every month or two. We've been friends for ten years, and I think she does it just to fuck with me and to get attention and praise. Gets me all worked up though, and after the two pictures she sent me last week I've been obsessing about her a lot. All I can think about is wanting to fuck her.

i think the solution to your problem is to fuck her.
