Instead of sleeping I wrote 3000 good words of Love Is In The Water. God I'm tired. 80 Hours front is out. Really good workshop of MMM yesterday, conference with McPhearson today. So tired I think in little spirals. Wrote in wierd Notepad program, not Word, so have no idea how many pages I wrote, single or double spaced. Only found wordcount through an online text window program. Have emailed the people who might know the number for the people who publish Zadie Smith, who I'm supposed to interview. If I get it, I have to read her work. If I don't get it, the paper doesn't cover Zadie Fucking Smith, profesional wunderkind, and we look like jackasses. Holla.

But anyone know how many pages that'd be, single or double spaced, in times 12?

*EDIT* Shit dude, 8 pages (double spaced). For a first once sitting? Awesome. I mean it's going to a a lot longer? But feel like I didn't waste my night with REM sleep or any of that superflous stuff.

I got your IMs, I was not ignoring you but I was uber late for work and/or asleep.

What's up, lady X?

Also, I posit a question: I have a guy who I know would love me if I let him. Why will I not let him, but someone else I'm seeing, I am letting him? I don't mean love in the Biblical sense, either.

I dunno, I tend to think it's about the chem of the sittuation. You won't let him love you b/c you know there's no real possibility of you being interested in him?

Hm, I don't really know. It would be nice if he did, but I don't think I'd ever return the feeling, so maybe you're right.

Zadie Smith? Bless your soul! I read White Teeth a couple summers ago, and it came off as unrealistic in terms of plot development, and the writing seemed really immature. Like she was trying to be that newbie who gets the Booker on the first go but so, so, so doesn't. She also had a short story/vignette type thing/? in this compilation put together by Nick Hornby - and it was just a big vortex of nothingness, as in there was nothing to critique it on because it was so wholly devoid of any sense of story. Although I guess that kind of just was a critique.

OK, so I don't like Zadie Smith. And I'm in no way helping you here. But I bet her interview will be really entertaining. I wonder if she's as pretentious as her writing would suggest?


OK, again, so I don't like Zadie Smith. Hugs.

Heh. Armed with your torch of truth, I wil go on to be like, "Zadie Smith, why you suck so bad?" "Why don't you got no sense of story, Zadie?"
