that's like feeding the kitties!
But why do we
anthropomorphize - or whatever it is we do -so much more, now?
i was writing a really elgant post when the phone rang and I got email. And it got lost - because i had to do something that made something else happen. ironically, it was a Prof. calling me to alert me about the geological timeline we are discussing in his (Ecology) class.
And he was emailing me as well. great Prof.
i feel like the computer IS my brain, at times.
I can also be really terrible when forced to interact with people I don't know well, altough that is not a problem here. Except I don't know who anyone is, except the people I actually know. And Ned and Dan - everyone knows them.
I DREAM in computer - and I sometime
s wake up trying to post to an imaginary thread. I should try sleeping more, Like, now.
But once again someone else is posting!

neil young? because he has an anti-tehnology stance?
That grammy nominated song made me cringe for him.
I can never leave!

Neil Young recalls that in 1971 he invited Graham Nash to Broken Arrow, his sprawling ranch in northern California. Nash, one quarter of America's biggest-selling group, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young (CSNY), had asked to hear his friend's recently completed Harvest record. Broken Arrow, spread over 56 hectares, has peacocks, cattle, llamas, corrals, barns and a mountain-top swimming pool. Harvest had been conceived in a studio on the estate.

Young rowed Nash to the middle of his lake. His roadies, meanwhile, set up a pair of concert-sized speakers, hauling one into a barn on the far shore. They placed another by a window inside the house. As the opening bars of Out On The Weekend began to filter across the water, Young busied himself with co-ordinating the volume levels from the boat, yelling, "I need more barn!" one way, then "I need more house!" another.
