nosuchthingtoday a réagi à votre discussion : Sometimes I Forget That People Still Think China is Batshit
Oh god this. The looks I get when I tell people I want to live in China.
it’s okay at least we understand each other and we know that at least neither of us will be surprised when the other fucks off the beijing or shanghai or wherever for the rest of forever.
nosuchthingtoday a réagi à votre billet : Is now a good time to announce the zine? Now? Now.
I am more than a little interested in this.
We were going to talk to you about this! And Katie!
Now I want you to stay where you are and imagine a massive crowd of women, okay, and some of them are wearing knife-stilettos, and some are wearing bright red lipstick, and there’s a fuck ton of leopard print going on, and they’re all chanting,
“Submit, submit, submit”.
That was my effort to scare you into submitting okay I don’t know if it was necessary/worked, but
You should submit
nosuchthingtoday a réagi à votre billet : Okay, so I got a little notification from Facebook…
I’m so appallingly bad at names I have a pile of unanswered friend requests that I need to get verified by a third party before accepting.
Ha, that sounds stressful. Although on the other hand it’s like… Facebook? Eh, who cares. The people I’m closest to know to find me on Tumblr

Women are given leeway, but men must eat and drink All the things. If you’re the guest of honor, or it’s an especially sumptuous event, you get a bottle of booze to take home… about 90% alcohol. (my internet is poor, so this may be double posted)
I was wondering about that, actually. All the books I read are by men, so I’ve been increasingly wondering what it’s like to be a woman travelling around like a hooligan vagrant in China.
Which is what I will be doing asap.
Oh my God 90% alcohol, okay I drink only 0% alcohol damn

Banquets are buffets in that the host will basically order Everything in the restaurant and serve it in waves. As a weakling foreigner you are let off eating everything, but you are expected to toss back disgusting amounts of alcohol.
aha awwww “as a weakling foreigner”
but yeah actually
can you just like… eat Everything instead of tossing back all the alcohol? or is that not an option?
Ah, yeah, I love Murakami, actually. I’ve only read Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World so far, but I actually have Wind-Up Bird here, so I’ll probably read that when I finished Knowles. Also, I just finished this book called “Hiroshima”, which was originally published in The New Yorker, about six people who lived through the bombing there. It was really good, and on the title page it quotes a review saying “Anyone who can read should read this”, which basically sums it up.
Anyway, thanks for the rec, and hope you enjoyed my sudden mini-rant on Japanese lit? Yeah.
