N: I would like to discuss this more later. This movie is so cute, I think I am gonna cry [ed. note: I was watching 27 Dresses].

N: Basistas think their lives are sooo interesting, they just want to share them with the world. 

J: I KNOW. Its like the only way they can communicate with each other is to engage everyone in the vicinity.

N: Possible topics: impossible roommates, land lord disputes, international travel experiences, "stalkers." 

N: Also: Shift trade dramas.

N:Is there any way we could get money or recognition for such biting and incisive social observation? 

J: If only!

N: Maybe a column in the local alternative weekly
