Interesting that they communicate via IRC, but I'm not very surpriserd. A lot of shit goes on on closed networks. But what's with the timestamps? They seem to be out of order...

First one is transcription error (most likely imo).
Second one is data corruption (unlikely imo).
Third is local clocks disagreeing slightly. I saw a few messages back a minute, no more. Since it's not feasible to have all clocks agree exactly, and transmission times can vary slightly, it's likely that each message is timestamped by the sending machine. With a slight variance in clocks on the different machines, out of order timestamps are likely to happen occasionally.
There are plenty of other options, but these are what I think of first.Hobo: We all dress up. We all put on our armour before we walk out the door, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that we’re trying to be someone else.

I don't know how familiar you are with IRC, but the time stamps are client based. That means that the machine logging the conversation will set the time stamps locally. Therefore the time stamps should be chronological. Data corruption is hardly the case. So my bet is that something is edited, but they've done a pretty shitty job. I wonder what they edited, though (insert X-files music here...).

/\ Very entertaining piece, but, does he really like work that much. Wonder how he juggles between studying and working. Didn't think he was that much of an intellectual. He seems to land good roles in movies though. Happy to be doing whatever the hell he wants now.
Anyways, having a bad day. Bed ridden. Heavy headed and feeling like shit.

4 post-grad programs, enrolling in a PhD at Yale and another Rhode Island School of Design degree for kicks while he's at it, a gazillion bit parts in films (the location jump has got to take a toll even if the roles don't), an ongoing part in General Hospital that requires frequent shuttling to LA...if that ain't mania I dunno what is.
