Happy Easter! (Monday, I suppose...)
So Lent has been officially over for over 24 hours now (actually, it TECHNICALLY ends on Palm Sunday, but with Holy Week everything just kind of carries over until Easter begins) and I already feel like a glutton. Not just on food-- although that is part of the ever-present problem... darn family heritage of cooks and bakers. No, my current problem is more technologically-oriented. For forty days I wanted to give up any unnecessary online activity, and once forty days are up I am back to my old habits. I'm afraid my eyes are going to become permanently focused on screen-like objects by the time I have gotten over this phase. I'd much rather go back to the good old days of hammer-and-chisel documents. Okay, so I'm not THAT bad. I just wish that it was easier to remove all of the media clutter from my life, and not have to go through any sort of withdrawal or knowledge crisis. And by "knowledge crisis," I mean being totally unaware of my surroundings. Completely oblivious, unless I have a laptop, radio, or tv. It's really very sad. Which is why I tried to temper things... deleted the facebook (which I have just put back up to help w/communicating over school projects), made the e-mail more productive (which means I'm getting thousands of e-mails at once like word of the day and job offers and news updates and such, which means most e-mail is getting ignored), and even tried going without looking up random pieces of information on wikipedia (ahahahahahaha! COMPLETE failure. At least I can dominate with random trivia.) Well, it's getting awfully late, and I have a show to do tomorrow (the adaptation project presentation, woot! :) Tomorrow I'll start transcribing my journal "blogs" from my notebook (I thought it would be a good way to stay OFF the evil computer if I got some dexterous exercise [haha, get the pun, I'm writing AND I'm working my brain]). But right now I need sleep. Good night, all.
