I'm going to read a Less Than Zero soon. I read this interview of Bret Easton Ellis in The Paris Review and BEE seems like a real asshole and I love assholes and it seems like his books are about assholes and I love books about assholes (see above mention of Jesus Son). I watched The Rules Of Attraction and it reminded me of a strange mix of when I was 18, this past summer, and the summer I went to Europe...

I did an interview with Carrie Murphy and Dan Magers at HTMLGiant. I liked doing it. I'm probably going to do it again. Favorite part:
