- Of course, the answer is easy. The sun never sets on either of them.
- I think of this, since I'm typing at 3:30am waiting for my freshly laundered
- bedsheets to dry (don't you hate warm sheets? I just gotta have my cold
- sheets and cold comforter and cold pillows in Buffalo in November), and god
- damn, there's new posts popping up all over usenet from all the dark and dingy
- corners of this globe! whew! And I'm listening to CFNY, and they're playing
- Talk Talk's _It's My Life_ which is one of my favorite songs, to boot! whew!
- and hopefully when I wake up my whites will be done, thus clean underwear so I
- don't smell like a dungheap.
- I still can't get over how Usenet & trn are like high tech skinner
- boxes, tap the skinner spacebar and get your braintreat. morsels of news like
- food pellets keep me going all hours of the night, keeping me away from lots
- of more productive stuff. Vonnegut was right, my damn brain is just too self
- destructive and it gets me into all sorts of unsavory shenanigans. Ooh, a
- vonnegut quote. how pretentious of me. too bad my mock turtleneck is still
- awaitin the dryer. better put on my black scarf and smoke french cigarettes
- but not too many 'cause I'm a chronic asthmatic. Also lacking black
- sunglasses unfortunately so hey I guess I won't be fooling any art punks..
- whee. I'm starting to go off on tangents even I can't follow. better
- stop while the stoppin's good. Shall I dangle a participle in front of you,
- like a carrot before a donkey?
- No.
