We realize the participants in our What I Read series sometimes come across as overly-set in their media consuming routines. This is our fault, probably. Our questionnaire isn't set up to account for time spent talking to living, breathing, non-tweeting humans. What we're trying to say is: yes, Isolde Marion, Mark Armstrong does talk to people more than twice a day. We think.

My god. So the only time the writer speaks to other humans is between coffee and 10 minutes of Sesame Street. I can't help but think of Wall-E and all the blobby humans roaming around with screens in front of their faces.
