Yo

I'm watching I'm Still Here. It's not that good. Like the premise is cool but they haven't really gone anywhere with it yet. I ate some popcorn. That was the best part. Popcorn is one of my fav foods. Corn is so underrated. Corny is an insult. But think of all the good things that come from corn: popcorn, cornchips, cornflakes, corn on the cob, cream corn, and corn syrup is in heaps of yum things.

I finished reading Varieties Of Disturbances. I got out that Beckett book yesterday because it was mentioned in this book. I'm also reading Nothing by Blake Butler at the moment. It's so good. Blake just keeps getting better. I can feel it effecting me, making me write more. I've also been having trouble getting to sleep on time while reading it. Maybe that is another effect. It is making me want to try reading Infinite Jest again. It is making it seem more doable, more possible. My fear of the huge is shrinking.

Having a personal blog is like writing emails except everyone can see it. Not everyone will see it though, especially since this is a secret blog. I've only written 150 words on the novel so far today. Need to go hard tomorrow morning I guess. I hope I can write a good novel. I wonder if anyone is excited about the prospect of this novel. I think I am doing some creative things in it. Things that I haven't seen before at least. I'm also doing things that are way similar to other people's writing. I still have a long way to go with it anyway. Ideas are no use unless they're enacted right? Idk. Getting philosophical with it lol.

Caro took this photo of me secretly and just sent it to me today.

Updates on my personal hygiene:
Today I washed my hair and trimmed my nails.
I also brushed my teeth in the morning.
I will brush them again after writing this.
I need to shave my face.

The movie is almost finished the final twenty minutes are pretty good. He actually becomes an okay Lil B-esque rapper. I need to spend some time writing raps soon

seems pretty busy.

This evening I got a call on my cellphone. I hate phonecalls. Usually I don't answer. SOmetimes my sister gets mad at me for not answering the home phone. Tonight I answered. It was my old flatmate. He had accidentally transferred $150 dollars into my account and wanted it back. I talked to him. then went to send the money back but realised I didn't kknow his account number. I texted to ask for it but realised that I had texted the wrong sSimon@! Anyway it all got sorted in the end. It was okay

I really need to trim my fingernails.

I'm sleepy/tired. I sent a photo of my penis to someone the other day and they kept going on about how big it was. I don't think it's that big.

I want to have one more sizable paragraph but I don't know what it should be about. My dad read grow up by Ben Brooks. We went for a run together tonight. We talked a little about funny moments in the book. I really liked the knock knock joke. DISCO/NNECT. My dad asked me how I thought this book compared to Tao Lin (HE HAS READ SOME TAO LIN ALSO). I said I thought they were different/ trying to do different things. I said although I viewed Ben as being part of the same internet scene (LOOSELY) comparing this book to Tao's work wasn't very useful. We both agreed that grow up is a more traditional novel. Hi Ben. Hi Tao. Hi Caro.

this book seems sweet because it's only forty pages and the type is large
