Goodbye...
beckypierson:
Just sent this to my ex-best friend. She hasn’t talked to me in at least 6 months. No explanation, no nothing… just completely cut me out. Kinda pathetic, I know, but I felt like I needed some closure in the relationship…
Dear Nikki,
For some reason you accidently got deleted as one of my friends… haha… myspace is sometimes silly like that, I guess. Weirdo-rama! Anywho, I...
To do
Avi: I've done so much of my summer to do list.
Me: Really? That's cool.
Avi: Well I added some things after I did them and then crossed them off.
Me: Sounds like a good way to get things done.

“The whole adaptation thing, for me — When I read a book that I love or a graphic novel that I love — my instinct isn’t ‘lets turn this into a movie.’ There’s a disconnect there for me. It’s almost like finding a pair of boots that you love and wanting to knit a sweater out of them.”
“Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go.”

Nice job, T.S….

Steve Jobs health condition is private

bijan:
The NYT and others can’t get enough of the Steve Jobs story.
Is he sick? Is he well?
I don’t believe he needs to disclose his health status publicly. It’s none of our business. Shareholders & Apple’s board need to decide if he’s doing the best job for the company or not. And at this time, no one that could do it better. End of story.

When you find that both women are busy pleasuring each other and you have nothing to do, keep yourself busy. Take matters into your own hands and find something to do.
IMHO, the generals are right but the specifics only make sense if you’re, say, planning this shit several weeks in advance.
With a completely rational partner.

“When you focus on a specific task for an extended period of time or choose to eat a salad instead of a piece of cake, you are flexing your executive function muscles. Both thought processes require conscious effort-you have to resist the temptation to let your mind wander or to indulge in the sweet dessert. It turns out, however, that use of executive function—a talent we all rely...

Our financiers somehow looked at the script and my face and decided to trust me with enough money to fill a swimming pool with (large) bills.
…I can’t imagine any film you could finance using a swimming pool full of hundreds being more entertaining than actually filming someone jumping into a swimming pool full of hundreds
