"i am decaying in front of this screen"

So I just checked my incoming folder for movies I'm downloading in the hopes that Darjeeling Limited would be finished only to find a row of empty folders along the bottom of the page all lined up, each with a one word name, spelling out "i am decaying on front of this screen." It kind of freaked me out for a second as my first reaction was that I'd been hacked until I realized that it was nothing at all, just some blank files someone tacked onto the movie. Then it struck me that the sentiment is pretty much true; I'm already pretty critical of myself for the amount of time I spend on my laptop. It's kind of insane, really. So I guess this hit home. Whoever did that is a bit of a patronizing genius.

Darjeeling Limited sucks anyway, so you're good.

My body I will give to pleasures, to diversions that I’ve dreamed of, to the most daring erotic desires, to the lustful impulses of my blood, without any fear at all, for whenever I will— and I will have the will, strengthened as I’ll be with contemplation and study— at the crucial moments I’ll recover my spirit as was before: ascetic.”

How is laptop hanging a waste of time or insane? If you like it then it's worthwhile.

I like using it, but not in excess. The problem is the amount of time I let myself spend on it when I could be reading, sewing, singing, adventuring, gardening, whatever. Spending hours on the computer is indulging the weakest part of me. That's what's wrong with it.

i'm going to bittorrent that bitch right now sir. thanks for the tip. id say we're not actually mutating ourselves or irreparably harming these vessels with x-rays and radio waves and the ilk of them, but forcing our bodies to reflect to use to harness the information/energy before it kills us. Yes just like in heavy metal 2000 the animated shit, staring into the green orb is what its like posting on these forums, or using desktops or watching tv. eventually you get a good piece of technology that limits the damage it does to you and the benefits of using it outweigh the damage, this is called technotrend surfing or something allong those lines. cost benefit analysis is better done in your head than on paper and i think you think we all think.... /yawn

Flickering screens are unhealthy to stare at for long periods of time.

I can do my own dishes, yes. Don't worry Icey, I have plenty of my own tasks to replace computer time with. That isn't the problem.
