Working and not working, sleeping and not sleeping, reading, sweating, not cooking, and taking cold showers.</p> <p>Q: Whatcha reading?<br /> A: Well, I just finished re-reading <i>Tipping the Velvet</i> and last weekend I ripped through <i>All the Pretty Horses</i>, the writing style of which reminded me of Faulkner, but somehow I was able to stand it--can't say the same for Faulkner. I'm late to the party on Cormac McCarthy, and I've wanted to read <i>The Road</i> ever since that guy I interviewed with at The Retail Bookstore back in September mentioned that he was loving it (you can always trust employee recommendations of that sort) but I am concerned I will lose some cred reading an Oprah book. She ruins everything. But still...the book existed before she picked it, and there's some comfort in the fact that a post-apocalyptic novel of ruination and devastation will be in the hands of many people more used to things like guest appearances by Dr. Phil or Best Friend Gail.

He fucked those Brooklyn hipsters right in the ass.</p> <p>Turn over your latest issue of VICE. I did yesterday, on a flight from LA to Philly. I had to apologize to the man sitting next to me, and explain that this magazine wasn't pornography. Because right there, baring her micro-meshed, hairy-crotched self to the world, was some poor girl that some sleazy creep dude picked up on the street. I don't know this girl personally, but my guess is that she traded a lifetime's worth of pride in for two weeks' worth of cool points. I don't care how many lines that fame lets you cut. That's a bad deal.</p> <p><a href="http://www.punkplanet.com/sam/blog/give_vice_hell">read more</a></p> http://www.punkplanet.com/sam/blog/give_vice_hell#comment action boycott hair pie porn VICE Fri, 22 Sep 2006 00:01:15 -0400 Sam 403 at http://www.punkplanet.com
