I have a new story published in ducts. It’s a story about a drifter who sneaks into people’s homes and lives in their attic and eats their food, etc. It was kind of inspired be real events.

last week I wrote a story about mike tyson, a story about a man who moves to the suburbs and develops erectile dysfunction, and a story about an old man who thinks his grandson is theo huxtable. i don’t know exactly what I’m doing with them, any of them.

I’m going outside now.

che guevara's granddaughter poses partially nude for peta. so that happened.

There is no reason for me to be at work today. I have not completed a single meaningful task. The only thing I’ve really accomplished is the mechanical act of turning on my computer, which isn’t really my computer but a computer indirectly owned by an incorporated company headquartered somewhere in the Netherlands. Everyone I “report” to is either not in the office or is doing the same things I am doing, which is pretending to be doing something, which is nothing. If I walked out of the office right now and went into a bookstore or someplace, no one would notice and I am pretty certain I would still get paid on payday the same amount that I would get paid even if I didn’t leave the office and go to a bookstore. This makes me feel like my job is meaningless and this makes me feel meaningless because I spend 24% of every week “working” so I think I am correct to assume 24% of my present existence is void of any genuine worth. I also feel meaningless because 33.3333333333R% of my week is spent sleeping and/or trying to fall asleep. From this I conclude that close to half my life is meaningless because it is essentially devoted to meaningless things through which nothing is achieved that inculcates happiness into anything or anyone. I drank a cup of coffee this morning and have already urinated 5 times since 8:30. I tried to read Stephen Chbosky's The Perks of Being a Wallflower because someone told me it is the “new Catcher in the Rye” which I think is a stupid comparison. I stopped reading it because I could not feel I was identifying with the voice of the character who I think has been idealized for the sake of an inevitably depressing plot. The book reminds me of Malcolm in the Middle meets My So Called Life meets Regarding Henry. I spend roughly 5.952% of my total week reading and 8.929% of the time spend awake. If anyone can recommend a good book to me that you think might enable me to utilize this 8.929% better I would appreciate it greatly. I am considering purchasing a Lorrie Moore book but don’t know which one is “good.”
