Without really telling me that I should have discussed the new decor with her before making any big decisions, she does say she feels it doesn’t suit her style.

“Sounds good.”

“And yet all I can think of is ‘this will make for a great Livejournal entry.’”
Nicholas Lemann, in a story on blogging and citizen journalism in the August 7 issue of The New Yorker:
