Chelsea Martin lives in Oakland, CA in a motel, prepares eggs a certain way, is hungry now that she said that, and struggles alone through unclear emotional experiences. “Why does everyone act sarcastic about my mood?” “It’s just so easy.” She has a friend and a different friend and then other friends, which seems like a lot, but she doesn’t really know, you know, what to say about that. I don’t know, should I keep going?

Zack Sternwalker is a person who lives in my neighborhood in Oakland, but I’ve never met him. I’ve emailed him a few times. He seems nice. I solicited him for this is stupid I love you, but he didn’t want to do it. Then he sent us something for great, but we didn’t want to use it.

“I’m trying really hard. But soy milk in coffee (and I’ve tried rice milk too) is one of the worst things I’ve ever tasted. Urgh yuck shudder. I run a news group on conjoined twins and I’m trying really really hard not to.”

Good. I like it.

She was probably inspired by Raymond Queneau’s Exercises in Style (in which he tells the same inconsequential story of a bus ride using 99 different literary styles).
I am excited about Dakota’s project.
