<< Cardboard tube / lightsabre: violence so sweet | Main January 04, 2008 >> Temporeturn Oh little blog-bert. A lot has happened since I last graced your input boxes. I smashed out my two front teeth, looked homeless for a couple of weeks, and then got new (albeit smaller) replacements. I can't bite my nails now and I really don't know how all you aristocratic types do it - cutting them every four days. These fuckers grow like SoCal wildfire. Then it was 2008. 2008 is a lot like 2007, only with a lot more potential. Potential to lose one's liberties in airports and border crossings. Potential to finish a Master's degree, incredulously, on the topic of Video Games R Awesome. Potential to write some more blog entries. We are creeping ever closer to 2010 which, like 2000, carries the seductive promise of sex robots and flying cars and nanotechnology that will undo the world molecule by molecule. Somehow I think we'll just get more intricate ways to distract ourselves, more elaborate labyrinths of entertainment. Nested layers of virtual reality where you are the virtual reality, whatever that means. Virtual minigolf. Virtual versions of things which are, in themselves, distractions. We are getting awfully good at this. I still have a billion and one TV shows to catch up on. Scutt has returned from her Middle Eastern journey a little more racist and a little more itchy for something that is not an anchor. It happens to everybody but you can't really explain it properly to somebody who doesn't understand. A logical fallacy for travellers, a paradox reflecting the weaknesses of language. I, myself, have maintained the itch vicariously through her and through others (chadSLASHjen) who have done amazing things in the way of transporting their physical bodies to unexpected locales. Meanwhile my own body has been busy injuring itself with the kick-drum pedal provided by those evil masochists over at Harmonix, purveyors of the dark produkt Rock Band. I hope to switch circumstances eventually. Maybe that's what 2009 can be all about. Posted by Chris at 03:57 PM >> Commentations (1)
