Somehow the inert brightness and cold amplified my sight;...

Alas. My computer is probably killing me. Isn't technology slowly killing us? It makes sense in evolution-that technology would slowly kill us all and not need a user. I sit with my laptop. Its warmth and humming noise sooth me. The warmth is like the warm touch of a humans....

Ah, such a beautiful word. We've all felt it, some of us are feeling it right now but after all what's it to it?
