What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

That was that movie with Russell Crowe, right?

Or, wait, maybe that Spike Lee movie about the bank heist.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

The Serenity mule is parked at Universal. I'm not sure where, they moved it a few times.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.

The Serenity mule is parked at Universal. I'm not sure where, they moved it a few times.

If you go on the tour, it is parked with the other movie cars. I went a few weeks ago with some people from work and I squeed when I saw it. I'm such a dweeb.

Yeah, yeah, Tim's all great and and smart and nice and everything, whatever! We already knew that. What about my smoker's report on the Marriott? Helloooo? I'm serious about buying you dinner!

Jeez, you act like this thread is all about Minear or something.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Well, Minear was smoking outside on the patio of our press suite when the Men's Health and Fitness lady came in to interview him.

I couldn't tell if people were smoking on the upper floor balconies.

That might be the best thing I've ever heard. Just because I imagine a conversation that goes, "How do you stay so fit?" "I chainsmoke! Next question?" And then Tim morphs into Hunter S. Thompson, which is disturbing on a number of levels. I think I need to sleep more.

Was the patio on the inner ring of the hotel? I was (randomly) guessing that the rooms on the outside of the building would be more smoke-tolerant than the ones that overlook the pool.

It's probably too late, and my vague memory is that it might not be public transportation friendly, but there's always the Huntington Library and Botanical Gardens. It's great. There are gorgeous gardens (yeah, the Mediterranean and English style gardens may be more appealing to an Alaskan than to someone for whom a primrose is not only a house plant). More importantly, it has a gorgeous library.

No, I'm not at all biased by the pretty books. And the fact that I'm at the Internet Librarian conference (with free wireless in my hotel - I could seriously get used to this) is just a coincidence. Really.

It's not that I'm the only one, it's that I'm the honest one.

The product of an hour's worth of nervous tension is now up.

It's a great interview Jackal. One of the best pieces I've read in ages.
