The hi-tech campaign to relocate books to Google and replace books with Kindles is, in its essence, a deportation of the literary culture to a kind of easily monitored concentration camp of ideas, where every examination of a text leaves behind a trail, a record, so that curiosity is also tinged with a sense of disquieting fear that some day someone in authority will know that one had read a particular book or essay. This death of intellectual privacy was also a dream of the Nazis. And when I hear the term Kindle, I think not of imaginations fired but of crematoria lit.

I got flirted with incredibly hard by a married lady last week
I was totally unreceptive
Yeah, I can't imagine I'd be too into it if it were done in person. I have no business being picky, but I'm just not prepared to be involved in any betrayal on that level.
Elendil I would like your permission to actually use this name one day. I want to buy it off you for the price of, I don't know, a favour to be cashed in at some later date.

I AM HIGH RIGHT NOW HOW DID YOU KNOW
I just assumed.
I can't get high right now because I'm on call. I mean I guess I could, and it probably won't have a negative effect, but I'm paranoid.
