On my old desktop, my H key is exhibiting signs that it is starting to die. This is problematic because I really like the words the, he and she. It's kinda killing my pronoun power. I know I can take it to some geek squad where they fix laptop keys. I've just been holding out. I wonder how much they'll charge me for that service.
Times like these, I really wish I knew computers, that I was self-reliant in that way. It's crazy, how far we've come from Walden pond and all things simplistic and organic.
If I could live off the land, I don't think I'd even be happy. Too much progress has been made. We've given our hearts away (as one poet said---and not verbatim) a sordid boon.
And so I can hardly go an hour or two before checking my Facebook status line or my Gmail. And it's rather unfortunate, this dependency upon the world. I wish I didn't feel this way. I wish it didn't matter. I don't know how to get back to a place where it doesn't. I don't know if we can.
and that makes me feel rather depressed sometimes.
