try harder: keep out
http://tryharderyall.blogspot.com/2015/06/keep-out.html
Books, sadness, and minor maladies. Friday, June 26, 2015. It has been a long time now but I once had a terrible boyfriend that I loved. We bonded over books and writing, wrote long notes and letters, tried to figure things out with words. However, when it came time to do our own work, he became wary and watchful. All he could imagine was that I was writing in my journal about him, or about my desire to be with other people, because what else could be going on inside of me? 8211; I want to know. Summerla...

Books, sadness, and minor maladies. Tuesday, May 26, 2015. Weird fucks in Portland. I went to Powell's and, a surprise to no one, the small press section got me. It started with the irresistible Weird Fucks. By Lynne Tillman. A few of the stories in Fast Machine. Were in the Before You She Was a Pit Bull. Zine, published by Future Tense Books.

Books, sadness, and minor maladies. Wednesday, January 28, 2015. The podcasted fiction of Clarkesworld's issue 100 is a warm chunk of aural delight for these freezing days.

try harder: never 31
http://tryharderyall.blogspot.com/2015/03/never-31.html
Books, sadness, and minor maladies. Tuesday, March 31, 2015. My brother and I reading what I fear is a Dilbert comic. We are suitably unimpressed. I wanted to write this to you on your birthday, but my smartphone fucked me over. This year I spent your birthday feeling very sad. I'm feeling all twelve of the long years you have been missing. Fuck, smartphones didn't even exist when you died. This year our dad is dead, too, and I am the only one left with our face. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Reven...

try harder: a thing for ghost ships
http://tryharderyall.blogspot.com/2015/06/a-thing-for-ghost-ships.html
Books, sadness, and minor maladies. Monday, June 15, 2015. A thing for ghost ships. I've got a thing for ghost ships. G90F270 027F from the NYPL. There is something deliciously creepy about a floating reminder of the dangers of isolation in the wild world. The possibility of treasure, or just something to do after days or months of monotony, is a true lure on the open sea and I love pondering the possible malevolent intelligence behind such displays. Tales To Terrify 177: Derelict by William Hope Hodgson.

try harder: Ley Lines: Thank God, I Am in Love by Cathy G. Johnson
http://tryharderyall.blogspot.com/2015/06/ley-lines-thank-god-i-am-in-love-by.html
Books, sadness, and minor maladies. Tuesday, June 23, 2015. Ley Lines: Thank God, I Am in Love by Cathy G. Johnson. Ley Lines series collects work from exciting cartoonists about art. Sometimes the comics are about influences, sometimes about the art world, but Thank God, I Am in Love gets at the primal, wrenching feeling of finding work that speaks to your soul. The brown pallette of the pages seems an odd choice for a book about love, but the plainness of the images lets Cathy G. Johnson. Travelogue by...
