I promised “normal stuff” about girls and things, so here's some of that. Don't say I never gave ya nothing.

Just so you don't think it was all pomo and pixels, we also ducked into a computer shop.

She needed RAM for her iBook. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.

In the shop there was a fellow talking into his cell phone. As we passed him he said, "It's not my business. I'm just a middle-man. I'm lying for everybody.”
