...proud to say I have replaced the umbilical cord with a fiber-optic one. It's nice to be able to talk to one's parents as friends, as confidantes. And every once in a while, I tell a story that makes my mom laugh so hard she begins to cry. I don't know if it's because she's so happy or if it's because she misses me. It's those moments that make me glad I went off to college so I could discover that my parents are people, too--and wish that I were back...
...affirming and unifying act two people can engage in. Of course, those who frequent cybersex are probably the same people who 200 years ago would have frequented a brothel. Most of us, I think, don't fall into that category. But nevertheless it is indicative of the larger problem--fiber-optic wires are taking the place of flesh...
...which every cultural citation is fake, so that the real thing feels out of place. The city is built on simulation, quotation, weird unconvincing displacements, in which cultural icons are endlessly but never convincingly quoted.

Here...
...growth products under pressure from the San Francisco-based RAN, the Washington-based American Lands Alliance and other environmental groups. Mitsubishi Motors and Mitsubishi Electric agreed last February to use only tree-free products by 2002. Kimberly-Clark scaled back its use of rain forest-wood fiber after the organization published ads depicting ancient forests over the headline OLDEST LIVING THINGS ON EARTH OR TOMORROW'S TOILET PAPER? 3M signed on after RAN set up an 800 number for consumers to complain. Nike, Levi Strauss and Andersen Corp. (the largest U.S. window manufacturer) agreed without hesitation, and Kinko...
...unique experience because we didn't rehearse any of the scenes, and the movie was shot completely in order from beginning to end. It really forces the actors to put every fiber of their being into each line. Anyway, the scene I remember was the one where Kimberly [Elise] and I are playing and dancing in the attic together and things turn very emotional. All I knew going into the scene was my lines, but when the cameras started rolling, the way in which we were able to shape the scene and the way our lines just occurred naturally...
