16:21 – Seth informs us that in Boston you can smoke a J and blow smoke in a cop’s face and get a $150 ticket. Jah’s brother Ben tells him that it’s not as crazy as it could be as far as weed smoking goes. Seth says it’s because you’ll still get billy-clubbed and get your gram stolen.
55:00 – Yuegang Zuo, a professor of chemistry and biochemistry at the University of Massachusetts – Dartmouth, presented research at the National Meeting of the American Chemical Society that 90% of the paper money circulating the United States contains traces of cocaine. The cocaine binds to the green dye in the money through ATMs, coffee shops, newsstands, convenience stores, etc. We have the highest percentage of money containing cocaine in the world. The findings also suggest that people in banks that deal with large amounts of it could ostensibly test positive in a drug test.
2:36 – Jah references his letters from camp.
1:53 – Jah never had the true college dorm experience, although when he was at boarding school it was a similar experience of being in a crazy place with a bunch of people you don’t know. Jah says it was weirder doing it at that age instead of at college age, because by that time you are ready to be out of your parents’ house. Seth disagrees, because he was an only child and a latch-key kid. At Emerson, Keith Travis from Nashville, Tenn., was in the bunk above him and Casey McCarthy from Parkersburg, W.Va., was 6 feet away from him. It was very daunting and very real. Jah says homesickness is a very real thing. Seth’s mom told him that’s when everything in his life spun out of control.

26:10 – Jah told Seth today on Venice Boulevard and Centinella, there’s a Chase Bank and a Mitsuwa Japanese market, which has 2 noodles shops and a crazy gift shop with Ichiro jerseys, etc., and a CVS. Posted up in the driveway for all three was an 8-foot long table with pamphlets all over it. A black woman in her 60s in Sunday church attire with hair done and a crippled old white dude and a 25-year-old Hispanic kid were all sitting there next to a gigantic picture of Barack Obama with a Hitler moustache. People had posted up but had kept their distance. Wind was blowing and pamphlets were flying on the street, and the lady was discussing something with somebody who was 15 feet away, trying to explain something to them and lure them closer.
34:07 – This week, these are three things Seth overheard people saying in Hollywood: 3) Someone calling the “Cash for Clunkers” program the “Cash for Crunkers,” 2) A woman calling the governor of California “Schwarz-negger,” and 1) A grown man saying to another grown man, “You know, he’s bigger, he had more body mass…” (Seth assumed they were talking about the MMA fight from the previous week.) Then the man finishes his statement: “…that’s why he won. He just believed it. Kung Fu Panda. Good movie.”
40:11 – When Seth is driving, he sees everyone talking on the phone while they’re driving. He doesn’t do it because he doesn’t have a cell phone. Jah left his Blackberry at Seth’s apartment last week, so Seth took it out in public and saw people he knew, who asked what the hell he was doing. He was faux-texting, drinking a Starbucks coffee and had the Blackberry, and a friend of his said he looked like “an L.A. action figure.” Then Amir called and Seth picked it up and answered it, and he said he looked good with it. People just thought it was his. Jah thinks Seth may get one for his upcoming birthday on Sept. 20.

Doing it in secret is more shady because it causes mad problems in people’s relationships.
