From the Guardian:
When Roger Avary, the Oscar-winning screenwriter of Pulp Fiction, was last month sentenced to a year behind bars for his role in a fatal car crash, it seemed that a promising writing career had come to an abrupt end.
But a string of posts on social networking site Twitter has revealed that he is apparently still chronicling the underbelly of American culture.
In a series of 140-character takes, Avary has built up a vivid portrait of life in Ventura county jail where he is currently being held. “Sickness spreads throughout the facility like brush fires,” he writes in his latest tweet from November 22, “and #34 [his identification number in prison] is helpless to avoid the outbreak and inevitable infection.”
Though there has been no official confirmation that the Twitter feed is Avary’s, there are various clues to its authenticity, including the fact that his professional website avary.com links to it.
So far John Hastings has won most (all if you ask him) of the arguments that these two have had on and off the air. Today Veronica D. and John Hastings have a battle of the sexes.
Listen to these two make no sense at all HERE.
