This is a lie, no one talks to me.
Jacob Martinez: I wish females would talk to me
James Gutierrez: They would if you got out more.
Jacob Martinez: The girls that talk to me I don't want talking to me.
Jacob Martinez: They are either weirdos or way too hot
James Gutierrez: What's wrong with the latter?
Jacob Martinez: And I'm like "You're way too pretty to be talking to me"
Jacob Martinez: "waste your time with men who will hit on you."
March 2009
No.
Jacob Martinez: Remember that second novel that Ralph Ellison started writing but then his house burned down and he lost the manuscript?
James Gutierrez: No.
Jacob Martinez: It was Twilight
“Tina Fey has a hold over the nerds of the universe…
Hell, if Tina Fey...”

“McCarthy said the inspiration for The Road came during a 2003 visit to El Paso,...”

Sounds about right.
A commentary
Whenever a British or European actor plays an American on a TV show or movie I’m perfectly OK with it. But whenever I find out that a Canadian is playing an American it fills me with uncontrollable rage.

OK so I ordered a netbook from Dell a while back and then decided that I probably shouldn’t have spent that much money and called to cancel it.
“No” they said, it is already on the production line.
Then weeks later they emailed me saying it was going to be delayed and gave me the option to cancel it. I did not.
Now, even weeks later, they email me again and call me saying that...
OK so the interview with Robert Pattinson in the current GQ is really good.

How would one publish a book for Kindle-only sale?...
(via plainoljane)
You’d have to publish it yourself, essentially, through Amazon’s own Kindle-book-only publishing service; or make your book into a .mobi file, host it yourself and charge people whatever you want via PayPal or some other tool.

Whisper
What the Kindle needs to really push it over the edge is voice commands so that I can whisper the name of a book and have the text appear on the screen.
“I have really sensitive eyeballs.”

A Question...

inothernews:
Awesome question. The ONLY answer should be, “Oh man, you’re right, there is absolutely no fucking excuse at all for us to use a pre-recorded track, unless we really SUCK when not AutoTuned, in which case dude I really NEED the pre-recorded track there because I don’t want my fans to rip their ears off!” but I’m sure no one will say that.

Sometimes when I’m on twitter I realize how early I must have signed up for it to get a three letter username (my initials), but I have no recollection of signing up for twitter when it was brand new.

My life in one sentence III
The worst thing to happen to me in recent memory was that time I accidentally ate some kind of mint flavored Hershey’s Kiss instead of a regular one like I thought it was.
Then
I’ve always felt like I was destined to do great things, the older I get, though, the more I realize that “great things” don’t always equate to “awesomely fantastic wonderful huge things”. Some times the tiniest thing can be the greatest and your life could be peppered with those moments. It’s silly to still desire even greater things. Still though, with...

Jacob: your book's ugly
Sleep Debt you say?
The sleep debt accrued tonight and tomorrow night will be repaid in full on Wednesday, my day off when I will go to bed at 10pm (tuesday night) and wake up at 1pm.
Sleep Hack
I’m pretty tired. But on monday I have to go to wake up at 3am and go to work at 4am, so tonight, I’ll stay up as long as possible, and wake up around 7am tomorrow. That way, I’ll be tired enough to go to bed around 9pm and get 6 hours of sleep before my shift on monday.
Tweet
I wish I could use Twitter in a way that would actually be beneficial and not just pointless; but the thing is, I don’t know any of the people I follow in real life. None of my actual friends use Twitter. I wish I could be like “Hey I’m at the [wherever I am] if anyone wants to join me.” But no, I live in the suburbs. It takes 15 minutes by car to get anywhere substantial....
Can't Take Much More
I think the world would have melted out of space-time if Arthur Rimbaud had “hooked up” with Oscar Wilde instead of Verlaine.

But I digress. . .
What I want in life is a novelization of the movie Twilight. I don’t want to read the novel Twilight by Stephanie Meyers, that’s rubbish; I want the movie by Melissa Rosenberg and Catherine Hardwicke adapted into book form.
Only then will my life be complete.

Me and a customer service representative
Customer Service: May I have your email address?
Me: J-N-M-AT-Live-DOT-C-A.
Customer Service: is that dot T as in Thomas, A as in apple?
Me: No. C as in . . . car. A as in apple.

It took me like 3 seconds to think of a word that began with C.
