*Especially people who aren’t on it.
I don’t know what people expect to hear when they ask me why I don’t follow them on whatever website. The answer is simple and obvious: I don’t find what they’re saying interesting.
I wouldn’t call this the new...

How is Jesus anyway? We've become estranged. Bit...
John Matthew Mattie: also, a man in Japan married a video game the other day. 2012? The world is already over.
Jack Eggleston: I'm big in Japan.
Eugene Ribnicky: Anyone over five feet tall is big in Japan.
John Matthew Mattie: Isn't that great? NASA is Spike Jonze's brother....
John Matthew Mattie: Oh wait...funny, I posted a Tom Waits video I thought you guys were commenting on...
Eugene Ribnicky: Tom Waits is Star Jones' cousin.
Matt Moninger: As long as the video game isn't male, Jesus and I are fine with it.
John Matthew Mattie: I was thinking the same thing. How is Jesus anyway? We've become estranged. Bit of a falling out...
Matt Moninger: Oh he's the same ol' charming narrow-minded hippie as always. Eyes as blue as the summer sky... Sigh. I think he's going through a mid-re-life crisis, though. He bought a Porsche and dyed his hair Jewish.
John Reilly Morgan: "Check the blue eyes, contacts ain't wise, cuz if they're colorized get chastized..."
John Matthew Mattie: Yeah, I accused him of borrowing my Freaks and Geeks and never returning it. He was like "I'm the Son of God, it was a gift". I said "fuck you Jesus, and I want my Battlestar Season 3 back too" and he was like "I sold that so I could buy Metal Gear Solid" and i WAS LIKE ...
Matt Moninger: I always hated playing Mortal Kombat with him. He thought I didn't notice he was using magick to manipulate the buttons to get all those combos. I was like "Jesus I can tell you're making the button-clicking noises with your tongue." Fuckin' cheater.
John Matthew Mattie: And he always wanted to be the Mr Freeze guy too.
Matt Moninger: He just liked the way the computer said "Sub-Zero... wins". Haha, that's funny Jesus, you froze me and shattered me with your halo again. That's not even part of the game, douche.
John Matthew Mattie: I hate Jesus, come to think of it. Where we drinkin tonight? I have something for you...
Matt Moninger: I'll meet up with you at Remedy if you want. I could use more PBR in my system. Also, I too do not like Jesus.
Eugene Ribnicky: Jesus + Sega NHL '95 = no one, not even the Son of God, gets one-timers like that.
John Matthew Mattie: What a jerk. He always wanted to be Gretzky too. Remedy soundz good. What time?
Matt Moninger: I can be there by 6 probably. Or later or whatever.
John Matthew Mattie: six sounds good

The New York Times has a ridiculous interview with Jeff Bezos about the Kindle:
Barnes & Noble claims on its Web site that the Nook has several advantages over the Kindle — for one thing, a Nook book can be lent to friends. You can forward the text to another user.
The current thing being talked about is extremely limited. You can lend to one friend. One time. You can’t pick two...
