every second dripping off my fingertips

Technology can be a bitch sometimes. God never intended for us to be typing on keyboards when he created trees and birds but somehow we managed to come up with the wheel and sarcasm along the way, and we were too intelligent for our own good. Soon micro chips became part of everyday life, and potato chips became part of our unhealthy, diabetes-inducing diets. Our creations have made our lives simpler, our tasks less challenging. We are now able to calculate and compute at blistering speeds, travel between countries in a matter of hours and communicate with anyone across the globe, and yet, we are still miserable. We agonize over lost data, missed flights and that spare tire festering around our abdomens. Surely, we must have brought this on ourselves.


However, I have to thank technology for my time spent with Naomi today. We managed to catch her favourite movie 'Be With You' on her Hi-Def, surround sound laptop. The way which the story was constructed played out beautifully and it captures your emotional side and wrings it dry of sentimentality. Your eyes will at least glisten, if not water a little, by the end of the movie. Even though the subtitles to 20th Century Boys 2 didn't work, we made up for my stupidity (and technology's complexity) by watching the latest episodes of House.

I guess technology can't be that bad.

somewhere a clock is ticking:
