Today sucks. It's almost lunch & I am still rain-soaked from the shittiest morning commute. I have stuffed paper towels in my pants through my zipper in an attempt to keep my soggy pants from saturating my thighs and giving me swine flu.

I want to wrap my body of fleece and Gore-Tex and groan and purr like a bloated mountain lion.

New one today @ h_ngm_n. h_ngm_n is cool. My piece is short. I’m happy with as it’s a different kind of thing for me. I think people who like to say words like “prosody” or “poetics” will find a way to talk shit but will secretly be satisfied and undeniably pleased after reading it.




Ben Gibbard & Jay Farrar perform songs from Jack Kerouac's 'Big Sur' live. you can listen to this HERE. again, people can talk shit - but it will be exclusively to & for themselves and not the greater good.

I hate my computer. It doesn't work. It’s slow and the letters I type appear 6 seconds after I type them fso I am just going to type this shit and not proofready shits because I don’t give a fuck about my fucking computers shit shits thsis.

Okay. I’m okay now.

dj berndt kindly nominated my story The Nurse and The Patient for Dzanc Best Of The Web. so thanks to dj. The other nominees are:

When We Take Off Our Heads by J.A. Tyler

Bernhard Goetz by Sam Pink

They are both very good. Read them.

Also – I "think" you will “enjoy” THIS if you "love" or "hate" or "love/hate" "using quotation marks" around every "goddamn" word.

listeners of music can/should download this 8-song sample from tom waits’ upcoming live record glitter and doom live for free.

watch tom waits drink coffee and smoke cigarettes with iggy pop in jim jarmusch’s coffee and cigarettes (2003) below.



the faster times interviews j.a. tyler. He says interesting things about experimental literature and other things. Read it here.

the new issue of the bicycle review is supposedly going live today. I supposedly have story in it. you can read it here supposedly or eventually.

michael j. solender blogs about my story “bikini sex” which recently appeared in thieves jargon:

“Bikini Sex, by Adam Moorad, is as unconventional write as you are going to read this week, I guarantee it. Breaking all the rules of construction, this perfectly disjointed ramble is perfect in conveying thought, feeling, mood, senses and everything a write should do. It is not smooth and fluid, nor is it meant to be. Go, see what I mean.”

Many thanks to mr. solender.

i have been enjoying the ‘This is not not a contest finalists + winner’ @ Lamination Colony – lots of fun, fucked stuff.

tao lin is poor.

a new edition of PANGUR BAN PARTY is live.

i have a new story in ex cathedra’s second doctrine
it’s the story of a hungover person daydreaming while gazing deeply into the hole of a bagel.
this person is lonely.
this person finds hope in the message of ziggy stardust.



seems like it would be something you could enjoy.
seems like it’s about time you enjoyed something someplace.
please read “david bowie against the enemy” on page 76 in the second doctrine.
i think you will have fun.
okay.
