i’ve lapsed a couple of times for work, etc.
i’m an apostate.
which is a hard word to pronounce.
it’s not healthy to spend 4 hours a day on-line, is it?
doesn’t it do odd things to our brains?
doesn’t it establish a weird and arbitrary and quick pacing that corrupts that natural happy neurochemical homeostasis that our brains long for?
or maybe it’s just fun.
i don’t know.
i’ll let you know how the experiment progresses.
for one you can expect fewer political updates, because i won’t be looking at the news 15 times a day.
if something important happens will you tell me?
they should start a ‘slow news’ website.
updated every few days, only with important stuff.
like: ‘breaking news: summer is drawing to a slow close in the western hemisphere. only 4 days until the autumn solstice’.
they have ‘slow food’, why not ‘slow news’?
ok, time to go eat uptown.
it’s sunday and there’s a distinct smell of garbage coming in through my windows.
that’s not so pleasant.
