i didn't think i would like it and then didn't like it at first and then later appreciated their earnestness or something

then at the end i didn't like it as much

but i have good memories of it, will watch it again

curious what you guys think, and who your favorite is

started writing an album-by-album response to amazon's 100 greatest indie albums of all time...

seemed daunting

tried to make a youtube video earlier, it didn't work

took a lot out of me, making the video

god

feel so sad

future so bleak

don't ever want to go outside

seems like drinking and not drinking are exactly the same

from "Second Novel"

She becomes his girlfriend and says, a number of times, to him and to other people, that there are so many types of mustard but only one type of ketchup, really, when you think about it, because they had just found a way to do it right. Ketchup, that is. Possible, he thinks, that she never says that, always someone else, he wrongfully attributes it to her, possible, he thinks, but he doubts it.

EAT WHEN YOU FEEL SAD

hey everyone,

'eat when you feel sad' (melville house, 2010) exists now. it will be available february 9th stores.

thanks to everyone who helped this.

the one on the top is a galley, the one on the right is the liquid form

i would suggest buying 'eat when you feel sad' at an independent bookstore. if the store you go to doesn't stock it you can have them order it. i feel like people don't do that very often, but i've done it before, and it's pretty easy / satisfying. you don't have to pay for shipping or anything. and like if several people order it from the same store maybe they will stock it or something.

also it would help me if you wrote a review for the book on amazon

also if you want to watch videos or make a video or link to the videos at eatwhenyoufeelsad.com that would be good

if you want to wear a shirt that says 'eat when you feel sad,' you can order one at the products page or make your own

also, i will be doing some readings, more should be announced, here is where they are listed, if you come to them there will be books you can buy, and you can hear me read, and stuff

*

i'll give away some books here prob.

thanks again,

zachary
