the cover of the emotional design book is a shocking surrealist masterwork.

Hi,

I am a Tao Lin intern. People were hitting on you? What do you mean?

Re: e.e.e cityramica June 30 2007, 05:10:56 UTC

what kind of stuff do you do as an intern?

2 men in a row on the 6 train started talking to me based on the cover, i think. the first i had a conversation about talking to cats, the second about there being too many parades in san francisco. i don't know. they both asked for my number. then i got off the train and saw a bunch of fliers for the book on the subway steps and it made me feel funny. too many bears.

granted, the fact that i am an attractive young female who was wearing pretty short shorts that day may have also affected the "hitting upon"

Nah, it was the book. Didn't you get the announcement that only nymphomaniacs read Tao Lin?

I read the excerpt that was posted online,
http://eeeee-eee-eeee-bed.blogspot.com .

Having the same sentiments about Miranda July that are mentioned in the first lines of the Gawker things, I was a bit wary about reading Tao Lin with the knowledge that she was backing him up.

There were elements of likable style in that excerpt, but it was so lacking in substance. Sorry, Tao Lin, but now I hate you, too, and I will continue to ignore you and Miranda July.
