Current Ramblings

We had to figure out how to relight the pilot light on our heater tonight. Fall's definitely here.
I finally found Nemesis Prime tonight. AT KROGER. I know it's pretty much standard issue to gripe about how your area's distribution is worse than everybody else's, but holy fuck, the GROCERY STORE got him in before any real stores!? What's up with that? I want Energon to just come out already.
I think I should try to spend less time on the computer. Not that you, my dear (I initially typed "dead" for some reason) internet buddies, are not worth my time. I just find myself putting things off, ignoring things that need to be done, and just generally behaving as a person with that thing they like to call "internet addiction". I sorta wonder about this "internet addiction" idea applied to myself. I inititally want to see it as a symptom of cyberpunk-inclination, the sort of thing you do because they won't yet let you put actual plugs and wires in your brain. I think it was for much the same reason that I got a cell phone: not because I expected people to call me all the time, but simply so I could be connected. If something happened, I would know. (Note: If any of you are on Virgin Mobile or just have text messaging, you let me know.) But I'm sure there are many, many people out there with the same problem who have never read a William Gibson novel, and possibly have not even heard of him. I wonder if there are different kinds of internet addiction, or if they're all just different shades of an information addiction. But I think this might hold the key to my writer's block and general feelings of boredom lately. I need to get off the internet and do other things. I need to spend time reading books and playing video games. I walk almost daily to keep my body from getting fat because I spend so much of the rest of my day sitting around, but maybe sitting in front of the computer doing the same things all the time is making my brain "fat". I need to get offline more often. But not tonight. Tonight's LONAC night.
