...iBooks are beautiful. Sitting at my roommate's new Macintosh laptop, I almost wish that I never switched away from Apple. The iBook's translucent polycarbon plastic casing is soothingly, subtly textured, and its rubberized blueberry trim is smooth and soft. It's flared, curved outline and rounded edges remind me of a clam, and the white springs visible beneath its cloudy-clear keys look almost like veins. As I hold it in my lap, the iBook feels vaguely alive...
...prophets, along with a comic-booky atmosphere, lighten the mood and get more than their fair share of screen time. Although some of duo's jokes are simply bromidic facsimiles of the gags from the other Jersey flicks (like I've never heard Jay say "hard-on" before), most remind you that one can never have enough Silent Bob and Jay.

May we forgive Agins her generalizations, as we forgive ourselves our errant tastes. And remind her that if she considers fashion to be art, she must allow it to transform. It seems that because the couture pieces don't sell so much anymore (imagine something with big slits and peacock feathers) they are no longer art. All that has happened is that the runway has transformed...
