i am bored because there is nothing to do today, and i am scared because a million things are coming my way tomorrow.
like meteorites predicted long ago. i can see their faded glow, across my horizon. coming closer. a mangled mass of bodies, job descriptions, sky-scrapers, oceans, weather patterns, activism opportunities, friendly exchanges. fused into a rain of denser-than-iridium bomblets. all with the capacity to either whisk me or blow me away.
but. all that is not here yet. so in the meantime, i surf the net. and keep an eye on you.
Today is my day off - I have chores of course (I have to buy a catflap, for instance. And pegs. And pay the water bill.) but mostly I wander around the lovely internets.
ReplyDeleteThe rest of my week is full of everything -
books to sell/review,
staff to train/be nice to/be exasperated at,
kids to care for/cook for/cuddle/read to,
computers to play with/fix/break...
But today, today I read what people write, and smile. More and more I'm learning to appreciate the community feeling that I'd like to think people wanted the internet to be. So it's not a waste of the day. And the hectic-ness of my life outside the electric box is nicely balanced right now with the (reasonable) tranquil creative sharing within it.
Keep writing everyone. I'm interested.
(some of the above is lies of course, I also have Friday off this week too...it just would have sounded crap)
