		<description>Annie, I'm sorry to hear about you and Harry.  If you get the urge to go on fanfiction.net and find who he has been cheating on you with, be strong.  Don't do it.</description>

		<description>Hi Chris:
First - Thanks. I try to stay on top of commenting back but I'm not so good with the time management and it takes me a few days.

Second - The NYPD should just hire the Korean momma mafia to take care of business they are wasting their time trying to recruit normal people.

Third - I know that Chicago is a good architecture town because my architect friends say it is. I remember one of my friends took an entire class in grad school just about Chicago. I dunno that sounds a little irritating to me. I like Chicago but like, not that much. I don't like anything that much.

Fourth - They should've cut 45 minutes and added scenes of robots blowing SHIT UP.

Finally - I did like it. The yodeling was awesome. Your college roommate is a lucky man.

BTW- Yes.

and now P.S. - Your comment is better suited as an email to me (see Contact page). It's like longer than the original blog post you know that?</description>

		<description>Hi Annie:

First, let me just say that I think it's nice that you take the time to read these comments and respond. When I write my blog, nobody ever comments. Of course, I didn't publish a book like you did, so why should anyone bother. But I do get my friends telling me that they read my blog in person. And then I ask why didn't they comment so I could know that I wasn't writing into a vacuum. So I think it's a generous touch that you acknowledge the people who read your blog.

Second, I just got your book. Ok, actually my mom bought it a few weeks ago. And then when I was home in Chicago, she gave it to me and said "tell me if it's good, and then send it back." I haven't finished it, but I'm enjoying it so far. And you'll be happy to know that I'll probably just order another copy for my mom so she can read it on the plane to Seoul when she goes in the Fall. And then I'm sure she'll give it to one of her friends, and the Korean mother mafia will all have read your book.

Third, I don't know any architects. But I did really enjoy taking this survey course of architecture my last semester of undergrad. And the architectural boat tour of Chicago kicks ass if you're ever in the city(which boasts the most gorgeous architecture in the US). And there was a really great play about Frank Lloyd Wright and what a bastard he was to his own family called Frank's Home starring Peter Weller from Robocop as Wright that I saw earlier this year. I know you don't give a shit, but since people are talking architects. So maybe this supports your thesis about architects? Or maybe this is just a nonsequitur cul de sac.

Fourth, my biggest problem with the Transformers movie is that there was that stupid hacker subplot that went absolutely nowhere and added nothing to the narrative. They could have cut out 45 minutes and had a cleaner main storyline. Did you understand what happened with the All Spark and why it supposedly killed Megatron at the end? Why was Shia Laboeuf running to that specific intersection in Downtown LA?  Nothing made sense and the way Michael Bay frenetically cuts together action -you couldn't tell a decepticon from an autobat. 

Finally, did you enjoy I'm a Cyborg? I thought it was an interesting departure and am glad that Park Chanwook is getting away from those Vengence movies (which were way overhyped). But Park still strikes me a bit too much style and not enough genuine substance. Something false at the core. My sis liked that yodelling song Rain sings though. My college roommate now lives down the block from Rain in Chungdahm-dong and his little daughter likes to call out "Hi Oppa!"when they pass Rain's house.

Oh btw, are you really writing a script about zombies? I'll watch anything with vampires and zombies.</description>

		<description>Per: But you can have visual style and also blow shit up and also transform in a totally kick ass authentic way. The Swedes totally draw glass cocks, I think they're just more efficient or something.</description>
