Discussed: Not allowing dogs to put their paws on you, Cesar Milan, moving, IKEA trips and tricks, law school finals, the goodness of IPA, Korean nationals calling each other ‘emo gays’ in a direct transliteration of English, moving back home with your parents and the subsequent emotional toll, the anxiety of the corporeal body as experienced and transcended in the writing of Vonnegut and the comedy of Louis CK, the lack of metaphor in the works of Hemingway and Carver, Gordon Lish’s editing and his relationship with DeLillo, how much we collectively hate James Franco and to an extent possibly Mona Simpson, Susan ‘Suze’ Miller and horoscopes, birthright, modern dating and OK Cupid and JDate.
