Hello, computer lab

My computer died last night. I talked to ITS this morning and they are going to employ all of their magical powers to ressurect it. Ironically, at the moment of its departure I was writing about man's fear that technology will step out of its bondage and revolt. I dreamt last night that my computer came back to me. I apologized. It forgave. All was restored...especially "my documents".

Good Morning America

I might be on tv tomorrow morning. ABC was getting shots tonight at the hillsdale Annex for tomorrow mornings piece on the child mayor(nice kid btw). But anyway, if i'm on there i'll be playin scrabble with an old man and a little kid. I hope they got me spelling "zeal" for 69 points.

today's thoughts

1. the question isn't, "am I alone?" but, rather, "are we ever not alone?"


2. The fundamental problem with the Joycean epiphany is that it is traditionally the point in which a character realizes s/he is different from everyone else. The true point of revelation comes to a character when s/he realizes that s/he is the same as everyone else.
