E BAD HABITS AND GOOD BUNNIES

Instinctively went to computer after morning meditation, a sign that yesterday's pledge of indefinite continuation of masterpiece may be real. Now the master just has to make his piece or the piece make its peace with its master. Technology has reached the point of being as ubiquitous and meaningless as detergents or air fresheners. All have features you don't need but they take up shelves and shelves of supermarket space. People buy them and get secret satisfactions from their silly features. Do I want or need a candle to make my air smell fresh? Is there something weird about plugging it in and replacing fake wax every 30 days for a fake vanilla smell (vanilla delight)? How can I connect my google OX to my pc so I don't get images of Oprah when I am trying to skype someone in Barbados? Electronic shelf space. Just as meaningful. Electronic air freshener. LA is the Arm and Hammer of the pixel world. It will get your clothes clean and make them smell reasonably fresh. All you do is pour it on your clothes and turn on your washing machine. That's why LA seems so boring, but like vanilla delight people will ultimately come back for the scent of electronic humanity, which it seems so much fun to lose, but is ultimately necessary. LA takes technology that it doesn't understand, translates it into words that it does understand and puts it out there for people which it occasionally understands. But there is terra firma under these electrons, not elfin spice. Can the reader tolerate it? Will the reader tolerate it? Why should the reader tolerate it? Elfin spice is a good fake imitation of elfin garden. LA is a good fake imitation of a blog. It forces the reader to be where he is, even though by definition that is somewhere unreal. Am I being clear?YOU ARE BEING SO FUCKING CLEAR IT MAKES ME SICK. WHY DONT YOU THINK OF A FEW HUNDRED MORE CLICHED WAYS TO SAY THE SAME FUCKING STUPID THING. IT'S HERE. JUST SHUT UP AND LIVE WITH IT. THIS POST IS FULL OF HALF BAKED ANALOGIES AND CHARMLESS CHARM, EXCEPT FOR ELFIN GARDEN, WHICH IS SORT OF A NICE IMAGE AND IF LA CAME WITH A SCENT WOULD DEFINITELY BE A CANDIDATE.
