I wish Men of Stacks was still available, I really want to see Mig-Han Zo's picture!

That was brilliant. I couldn't figure out if he was calling you out to a fight, or for coffee?

flantastic · September 2016

He's still single. (I went down the breadcrumb rabbithole to Facebook.) I can't imagine why.

Also, from his blog - because I've been thinking and laughing about it every so often since this morning...

Choice quote:
"When I read titles like these, I think to myself 'What about men? Where is our voice?'"
and later in the same:
"I liked the article, but, to repeat, what about me?"

The new "about me" section includes this gem:

"I never thought of myself as a writer, but then I published a book. Granted, it’s an academic text, but it’s still on sale on Amazon for $80 or something ridiculous. [In real life, he edited contributions from university staff along with another person. I'm not sure I call that writing a book in the sense he wants us to take it.]

It makes sense, though, that a life goal for me is to write a screenplay. It’s already outlined in my head. I fantasize about it being directed by Ang Lee and scored by Radiohead. It would be bad ass. I just need to put the damn thing on paper." [So do it, or don't brag about being basically a screenwriter?]

Thank you @*Barbie* for introducing us to this next level douchecanoe. This is delightful

Right? He has an idea for a screenplay. Get in line, buddy.

He is just so, so insufferable. Love, Actually? "I have a serious collection of gourmet sea salts that includes individual blends of flori, porcini, saffron, and truffle." I mean, I love a good salt as much as the next girl, but I would not consider it some essential part of my personality.

Also, "There aren’t many places in the U.S. I’m interested in spending my vacation money on so I’m thinking abroad."

I dated a guy a lot like this once, when I was an undergrad and he was a grad student. I eventually got smarter and moved on, thank god.

ETA: I need to step away, but I hate-hate-hate how he writes about his kid. Anyone who is allegedly writing about his child and makes the entire thing about him comes off as a pretty crap parent. It seems that his son exists in order to make his own life better. Gross.

What's the kid's name? Is it a hipster douchebag name? PLEASE TELL ME IT IS. I need cyberbully validation.

I still tell this story at parties, you guys. It's a classic.

Also, people who talk about writing? Never write.

That shower curtain is horrifying. I would run away if I saw that in a potential date/serial killer's bathroom.
