Where is everyone this week?
My ear still hurts like bezoomny. Perhaps if I stick a pencil in there and jam it around a bit, it will help?
Do you get enough fiber in your diet? No? Don't worry; no one does. I suspect that to get the recommended 25g a day, you would pretty much need to eat sawdust all day. I'm up to maybe 70 percent. Don't ask what it's doing to my digestive system; you really don't want to know.
I forgot to tell the story about my Labor Day. I spent a number of hours at my aunt and uncle's fixing computers. Just what I wanted to do on my day off. Whatever you do, don't ever give people the impression that you can fix computers.
The problem is that computers aren't really consumer products. Not yet. They require care and maintenance and somehow who knows what he's doing. They've been marketed as appliances, necessary to life as we know it, but if anyone bought a refrigerator or microwave that needed as much expertise as a computer, there would be lawsuits. But by marketing it as an appliance, computer companies have indeed made it necessary to life as we know it.
So we get people who need their computers fixed after they've done something to muck them up. Some of these people think those of us who can do the fixing actually enjoy it. Not really; I hate fixing computers, and it's something I learned how to do out of necessity. If mine broke, there wasn't anyone to fix it. I had to figure it out myself.
As a result, although I know how to do a lot of things, there are other things I don't know how to fix, because I've never needed to. For example, computer viruses. If you have one, and I can use anti-virus software to figure out what it is, I can probably research how to remove it. If that fails, though, I have no clue. Do you know why? Because I don't download fucking viruses! It's not something I ever need to repair.
I wish my family and friends would follow similar measures.
So please, all of you, don't download shit. And if you do need me to fix your computer, at least give me a case of beer for my trouble. Thanks.
If anyone needs me this weekend, I'll be reading Anathema. Disturb at your own risk!
