I Don't Think Any of Us Expected Him to Say That
The reason I've been skipping sleep is that I've been addictively reading a massive work of Internet-based hypertext. This is not something I would have predicted would ever happen.
I've stated my issues with hypertext before, often to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
veek, who knows much more about it than I and who can usually ask me very good questions. Thanks to her, I am aware that I'm not wholly sure why I can't get into most Internet hypertext, although I have theories.
The strongest one is that I prefer to read in a state of bodily comfort, which is not easily obtained by sitting in an uncomfortably ergonomic chair in front of a desktop PC. When I used my old laptop, I used to read literature (novels even) on that computer because I could very easily take it into my bed and read it lying down while the sun set outside the window and Xena ululated on the television screen. Also, it was cheaper than buying the very-public-domain novels for class. I still have that laptop, and probably, with only a few battery-related components replaced, it could be made serviceable, but for now, I prefer the massive, powerful and modern tower that I purchased with my own money.
But instead, I've been painfully awake until three o'clock in the afternoon poring over every cathode ray of writing.
I'm mostly done, I think, with the exception of a long piece which I now have as a hard copy. And, possibly, anything that might come after.
More to come.
ThuNYTX: 7:30. I wonder if Willz had any pressure to do something related to the date. I wonder if constructors tried to make puzzles for it.
