"Megan, I am telling you that it is down there and I can hear it."
"Well, I can't hear it, so how am I supposed to find it, Professor?"
"I -" tt-tt-tt-t-tt-t-tt-t-tt-t-tt-"I think we would just have to send you to a location I could fix in the benthic depths, somewhere within a submersible's navigable radii wherein this thing was last emanating. I have to make some plottings of its signals and can tell you more shortly."
"Ok, but I still can't hear it and my flashlight won't help me much down there."
"You know what?"
"What's that, Professor Wallace?"
"I could just patch you in to the acoustics."
"Alright, but I haven't had my cerebrum surgery yet and I don't think I could handle a direct-"
"I would filter it to just a native perceptual feed, just the immediate signals, constructed into a human-recognizable sound scape."
"Ok, because if it's what you're receiving in your cybernetic state, it'll just sound like gibberish to me and I won't do you any good."
"How have they not finished your enhancements yet?"
"I'm taking my time designing these parts. Why rush it, anyways?"
"I admire the time you take with your work."
"Thank you, Professor, you're so sweet."
"And your devotion, your endurance."
"Aww-"
"You're a tough cookie."
"I think I would be, lately, a shamrock shaped cookie with green translucent sprinkles on it, but it'd be a shortbread cookie with a high butter content, I think, and not a sugar cookie, although I think maybe this morning felt more akin to a sugar cookie applicable metaphor."
"I miss human food, I'll concede that much about the cybernetic post-human afterlife."
"Yeah, I can understand that, totally, Professor Wallace."
"So, you will need to commandeer some sort of research submarine, or one of - I'm going to send them to you in a moment - any of these classes of USN submersible craft, because these are what we require to reach the depths that these "blooping" creatures dwell, based on what I'm hearing from the patches of American, Japanese, Russian, Chinese and French vibratory sensors interlaced throughout the oceanic depths of the planet, all of them mapped and fed into my cybernetically enhanced auditory perceptual system, these, Megan, have given me a clear picture of the sunless depths, as obvious as birdsong over your shoulder."

>In 7th grade I had a crush on this guy, Steve Barnett. I would search AOL profiles for my classmates after school. Someone matched up with Steve’s name, but I didn’t think it was him, because of how much they talked about ‘nWo’ and ‘the new world order’ on their profile, and he didn’t talk about any of that in school. I asked my mom what ‘the new world order’ was, and she said it was what the Nazis called their plan to take over the world. There was no way Steve was a Nazi. I somehow later learned that ‘nWo’ is a wrestling…thing…it’s related to professional wrestling. But that also didn’t seem like something Steve would be into. I would still look up that fake Steve profile after school though…it was my little routine…searching for more information about him, hoping that this time the profile would reveal more. I was pretty sure I was the only one of my classmates who searched for online profiles of others, and I tried to make my profile ‘dazzling and funny,’ in case they were curious about me, because I rarely talked, because I was sensitive and spoiled in my depression and expected people to talk to me and not try to talk to them at all. 7th grade was the year I stopped trying to talk. Big depression year. ‘When it all started’…

Megan, it's not worth a pile of sneezed in N95s in this world, but you've many fans on this Obsidian Polisher Social who respond to your humor, upon whom your jokes do land, for whom your mere record of pain hurts, who cheer for your wins, who brace themselves when you float in suspense, who are thankful you are with us in these times.

Tippy top o' the morning, Megheads!

>>14911704
How is that family of your own going anon?

Liveblog is fun chiefly because it is so freeing. You open the book to a time of day, perhaps the date is clear, but it needn't be. It's just after three PM and yet Megan's has synchronized her circadian to a different rhythm, she seems lost to torpor until she springs from bed within the hour and commences, from out of a forelorn hangover type of hibernation, suddenly bouncing about her apartment like a spring bok, squats, exercises requiring great core stability, leaping, well-developed posterior-chain, Megan knocks out something worthy of a Crossfit memorial workout. She hits her lists, her plans for the day. She is golden, renewed, ready, whatever comes next.

I would feverishly consume both my iced tea and water so as to require sufficient refills as to elicit from Megan several observations, rejoinders, convivial chidings and such. It would be a light and warm banter but it would fill in the spaces around us, swaddle us a measure closer, till audible were the gentle salivary stirs and mucousal motions within her velvety voice.

>>14913259
>old men of color in they Sunday best callin after her, 'Hey Red!' and 'Yo, red" even "Red, my dear" raising empty glasses or glasses with only ice cubes and these moments from the Sunday morning diners made Megan smile all the way to the point of sale system by the bar.

can't believe how spry marc maron still is

Josie put herself into a cage to be safe from the world but she didnt know why. Lars Forearm saw her in her cage and smiled. He knew what it was like to be her but no longer felt the need to protect himself. It wasnt possible to say if Lars Forearm was happy with his life outside the cage, but he could take pride in it anyway.

Does she live in the tent?

>>14916310
Is the tent a temple grandin type thing?

This is very sad. It started with an image of a healthy and responsible Megan and then quickly began to turn on the authenticity of that image and beat Megan up for wanting to project it.

>>14916780
No one is beating up Megan, Anon, save for the expected contributions from the mods ITT

>>14916310
Is that the ISIS logo on the tent's near bottom corner? Why does Megan need a jihad branded three season shelter?

This makes me happy. I hope she develops a new pace and method. So far she's had three-four days of entries it sounds like. She's writing about corona too, which makes her a plague liveblogger too, a whole new literary experiment.

Man I don't know bout y'all but that girl has those spring loaded hips made to snap a Johnson in two or to draw out the conquerors vivifying agent into her gurgly cervix, but for moi I can't shake the feeling of cloacal rending pressures, the hissing breath as Peg amped up her pace and started throwing those hips like I was just her basement dwelling play thing, a creature kept in social suspension in those damp dark confinements until Peg came home and let her brandished pegger cast a sinister shadow over the descending stairs, bouncing heavily, dreadfully, a pugilist of prostates. Maybe one day she takes me upstairs and shows me the cases of strappable pegs and thematic chassis and whispers a salivary tinged surprise, and I can feel my posterior port begin to syncopate and pucker, relaxing the sequence of sphincters situating my single male hind hole, ready to be ravaged, physically the same as Peg's scalding verbals, called a poseur, buster, simp, whitehat, basic, pedant, vanilla, ironic, tryhard, a mogged-upon something-let.

>>14909502
Megan, expletive you. You're fun to read, and I trust your writing to feel alive. You plod the reader along until a secret diversion plummets us elsewhere, like Mario finding a hidden sky or dungeon level. I also don't have a right to speak to you so frankly but please please Believe in yourself for your art. You create beauty. At some point maybe that beauty is more important than you. But you are also of that beauty's origin made of the same God.

it may point her in other directions. I think you can tell Megan is hungry to create and has a new energy about her. She's newly structured, even yet more disciplined and focused, she's like a boxer ready to climb some ranks.

Megan is sort of like as expansive as a streamer but she runs the life events and commentary through her own literary engine and what we get is a very composed and conscientiously revealed girl, blanks, boredom, pauses are all removed and we get in Liveblog a highly concentrated version of youth and womanhood and femininity and Americana, of east coast norms, of capitalism etcetera. Preserved in the Ginger's amber are reflections and impressions and captive particles from the world around her. But the spiritual homunculus steering and throttling forward Megan so that she may select from these collections and give to the reader the life of Liveblog is kinda e-girl-esque: zero fucks given in some significant aspects of her process, her American self, her exhibition, her every humility and plans spoken in our heads by a luxuriant vocal fry, even her cautious amoebic catabolism of noxious cultural products seems both real and clever for keeping a broad audience, being a whip smart electronic girl.

Hi, Megan, not to pry, but it wasn't until later on in life that I learned the greatest enemy of dirty dishes and sinks is something like the OXO Good Grips Soap Dispensing Dish Brush. Whatever you think of modern life, whatever other critiques you retain, reservations you secret, keep them, just use this brush or something like it as the sponge method, while noble, leaves much to be desired in terms of volume, the leverage by which you apply force, the different materials (sponge sides vs sturdy bristles), to say nothing of the convenience of having a remote control (no electronics) soap dispenser button to banish all your low effort italian or scallop pan crusts to the land of wind and ghosts. I think you'll find the tangible different between sponges and something like these ergonomic soap-dispensing brushes is the time won back for you to do with whatever you want.

>>14935974
I hope OXO contacts Megan or Megan's agent for a collaborative marketing opportunity with OXO Good Grips Soap Dispensing Dish Brush supporting a cornholion lifestyle

>8:26pm: walking to belle harbor steakhouse. Ordered spinach salad and cheeseburger deluxe. Passed a parked car playing 'the safety dance' by men without hats. The guy who took my order said 'and who'll be picking it up?' I said 'Megan'. he said 'Megan fox?' I said 'no, Megan Boyle, just regular.' he said 'well that's still good. Twenty minutes Megan.'

>I riffed my ass off with the phone man. Megan fox man. Conversational Olympics gold medal. Lost points at the end when he said 'you know what? I think Megan Boyle is hotter than Megan Fox.' I said 'well. You're a minority.' he looked like he might be not have been born in the U.S. but I meant it like 'not many people would agree with your opinion.'

>i'm sitting at a wire table under a large umbrella. it looks like spain or somewhere european out here. a man in a yarmulke walked up to the man at the table across from me and said 'erin? hello? is that you?' got scared it was a 'rampant 'taipei' fan.'

>when someone asks me about the specifics of an event, i do something like 'mentally accessing library where my memories are stored' which is ... i'm just scanning a mental index of liveblog. the memory of typing something often comes before the memory of the event i typed.

>tao said 'i have new roommates' as we walked inside. there were three 40-50lbs overweight women and six bunk beds in the room where the kitchen was. i said 'where did your room go?' tao said 'it's still here you just can't see it because of them.' he asked if i could stay two nights and i thought 'he wants me to stay two nights, sweet.' one of the women was 'lounging' in a top bunk bed. she said 'no, not two nights.' tao got in the bottom bunk of a bed and the top was empty and he motioned for me to join him. there was room for two people. i realized we wouldn't have sex. the overweight women talking continuously and making food and tao and i were looking at each other grinning and being like 'what the fuck is this shit'.

>she said they had a warhol painting that wasn't included in the dandy exhibit. alec said 'it should have been.' the way she said it, how he said that, and her reaction felt like if alec had said 'your son was a brave fighter. he should've come home to you. i will always remember him.'

>decided to take advantage of the free continental breakfast. overnight check-in friend said 'oh, you're up.' i said something politely meaningless, smiling. another girl was at the desk too. walked to 'breakfast room', where many people were seated, mostly alone. two TVs were on. two teenage-looking girls holding styrofoam containers circled the belgian waffle station, taking turns talking in a kind of call-and-response conversation led by neither about whether their pizza and chicken wings 'would be enough,' to eat.

>walked behind a smallish man carrying two plastic bags. from a distance he looked close to my age. imagined he lived in my building. maybe he worked in the city. he was someone like me, maybe, we had each been keeping our existences secret this entire time. the dogs barked at him. when i passed, one dog walked away, the middle dog continued barking, and the third dog and i made eye contact. slowed my pace so the plastic bag man wouldn't feel obligated to hold the door for me. tried to remember what i had imagined would happen when i'd moved here. beach parties. something. i probably didn't know then either.

>used apartment key to open the building door. through the glass, watched the plastic bag man join maybe two others, waiting for the elevator. one of the others was the ex-MTA employee in a wheelchair, who i told i'd bring smoothes, and had believed i would, the night of colin's 'welcome to the building' dinner. heard the familiar click of the door's weight closing behind me. approached group closely enough to recognize plastic bag man: the 'fancy food student' from the dinner. made eye contact with MTA wheelchair man as he reversed into the elevator. we said 'hi' quietly, kind of sorrowfully, overlapping the word at intervals suggesting neither of us meant for the greeting to be heard. focused eyes on one of the plastic bags. remembered they both lived on the fourth floor. i didn't get on the elevator.

Why did she remove the part about smoking crack and the brief orgy references?
I'm not making this up, it was on her liveblog earlier.

>>14945303
is it true though?

>>14945378
of course not.

>>14945284
She does have a very high technical ability that is almost never referenced.

>>14945284
not like garish "me minge m'lord" nudes, megs're more Dunham-esque candid nudity

>>14945732
Yeah except not as repulsive. /lit/ fags are desperate though. I could see plenty of people here beating off to those Meg nudes of her with sores all over her body from when she was strung out on adderall.

I am desperate but not horny enough for that.

do u have a link, anon?

>-ate at kitchen table while watching most of joey’s video of the 'waiting for godot’…surprised by how entertaining it was/enjoyed watching the play performed (have only read it in the past, and not for many years). people start heckling us at a moment where we’re trying to figure out who godot (we called him ‘covid’) is lol. one kid just shows his braces to us, like…shows us his mouth. then at the end there’s so much chaos. seems perfect…solid…a fitting comment on 2020

>-texted jordo about the channers, said ‘god bless our troops’ at one point. texted with joey and julia about doing another reading/play for fun, involving more people. texted sam and some friends, but it’d been a while since each of their last texts to me so don’t foresee responses tonight. (all texts kind of happened interchangeably/during the same timeframe)

I like Megan's flux of order and clutter. They're like narrative piles cellular to the Megan holobiont

>>14946398
God bless you, Megan!

>>14946448
We should make a board-wide effort to read some Meganfilial authors like Jordan Castro and Joseph Grantham

>>14928863
a gourd, of course

>>14946545
I kinda think of Megan as a goosenecked butternut damned to walk the earth in Cucurbit banishment

>>14946487
Jordan Castro coined "Mexistentialism," and seems like an insightful, sincere writer

>>14946487
i want to read Zachary German's novel. he is my favorite fictional character in the 2013 novel "Liveblog: a novel".

>>14909502
Is she some kind of schizo that takes her meds or what?

>>14946398
They hosted it on Zoom but you can find clips on Instagram

>>14946606
I worry most "Megheads" are performances by various figmentary folks filling Megan's head, which is a very fruitful place

>>14909502
whats the point of yall liking her? she just a women with a big ugly face.

>>14946628
Be sincere.

>>14946628
her writing?

Your post reads like posturing, a sound bite.

>>14946628
Well pray for you, ironist

>>14946625
>Now the term "Meghead" it's like, heads? why heads? Well that's not an accident. These posters who think themselves free, let's say 'self actualizing' shitposters are actually becoming manifestations of the Liveblog's internal logos. It's like You're Not In Control of What You're Posting. You're just another head on Megan's hydra. And man, that is Not Where You Want To Be. Trust Me. I've been there.

>>14946645
Esoteric Meganists insist Liveblog is a psychomantic manual for constructing a tulpa girlfriend

Is Megan the flower child of DFW? She seems very similar, a feeling-oriented writer with an academic background and addictive personality traits. Say what you will about autofiction, it does feel like the natural evolution from DFWs "authenticity" ploying.

What's the general opinion on auto-writing here? Is literature looping upon itself and is auto-writing the journalistic starting point that it evolves from and inevitably returns to? I think writing like this has been around since the dawn of language and the rest of the canon has been a rebellion and exploration that stems and returns to it. Sorry if I'm rambling.

>>14946665
And following this line of thought, is sincerity really the thing in writing that should be most valued. Isn't irony just as much a part of the process?

>>14946665
>>14946675
Having said all this, I totally get why themes of solidarity and intimacy would be appreciated in a generation that's largely defined by its difficulties with consumption and isolation.

>>14946665
I like her descriptions of friendships. I never knew how healthy ones worked until Liveblog, Megan being often an exemplary friend to others

>>14946675
Irony poisons a culture's ability to articulate itself or look after its values. Irony obscures what one's values even are. Irony will kill an artist. Look at someone like Warhol. There was no man left at the end of it all, only the ironic persona.

>>14946693
>Irony poisons a culture's ability to articulate itself or look after its values.
It certainly confuses people when it's a memetic echochamber of conflicting values, but I don't see why it's a harmful device in a narrative.

>Irony obscures what one's values even are.
To other people yes, I don't think it confuses the individual unless they're a fool that makes light of everything.

Does anyone have a download of liveblog? I'm broke and there's no download anywhere.

>>14946700
>don't, it's beyond terrible

>>14909502
I really hope she fixes her issue. US infrastructure is so patchy, you often have to be a business level customer to get any maintenance. They expect attrition to serve the customer satisfaction and for Megan to eventually give up.
