Rob’s book.
I’ve been staying up late reading this. Rob, your book is so good. It’s a unique experience, reading a memoir of someone whose life you’ve been following for years through his words.

To That One Neighbor.
Nobody is happier than you that you’ve found your Amy Winehouse CD. I mean that. Because, see, nobody is happy but you that you found your Amy Winehouse CD.
