there are, I understand, four levels of the McNally rating system, with his old girlfriends at the bottom and Jude Law at the top

I refuse to believe he didn't write this as to mean that Jude Law is fucking his old girlfriends

You should figure out how to stop living in a house, and instead jet around the world with your girlfriend, selling companies from your laptop. It's pretty sweet.

I gave an old lute I haven't played in years to a friend. This is fun. Now I'm almost done, and it is really true that less is more.

pshh, she'd never see u if u had no lute.

I got rid of my 8-track player, all of my laserdisks, 10,000 floppy disks

I realized that my floppy disks weren't even making me happy anymore
