Random note
Apr. 19th, 2009 10:25 pmAnyone else notice that the internet changes the way we handle pointless malaise?
And not, I think, in a good way.
Hours I used to spend sucking on my necklace or the ends of my hair and staring at a journal page going "what rhymes with Wednesday?" are now apt to be replaced by hours spent poking repeatedly at the internet going "show me something FASCINATING".
The internet, I might add, almost never obliges. But we know what they say about the pigeon and the pellet. Intermittent rewards are the most motivating rewards.
Me. And my uncomfortable resemblance to a pellet seeking pigeon.
I think I'll go knit now.
