i look at the outlines
of edges and chips
and can roughly discern
how it all used to fit

Looking for
a beater/low-end laptop for a specific purpose.
Should run a pretty recent version of Windows (except ME), have the cojones for minimal broadband Web work, and a copy of Word would be nice.
CD-ROM a plus; CD-RW pretty snazzy. If not a RW, a basic floppy drive wou;dnt’ be out of line.
Main criteria: the type of unit that wouldn’t kill me if I lost it.
Any one got one? Any price range thoughts? Any thing else I should be thinking of?
[And no — not a Mac, or Linux, or anything else. This needs to be a mass-market, easily interchangeable unit. I’ll likely be getting a Mac (again! yay) for my next heavy duty ‘puter.]
That is all.
begin
begin rejecting
sleep
face time
regular meals
alcohol
real sex
business calls
the scent of the inside of your own nose
study Bartleby the Scrivener obsessively
burn your CDs
play cards with your credit
hump the mattress
while pretending you are a silent film star
hope to God no one catches you
and that you will never have to speak again
plan on a short career as a wolf
(there’s no future in it of course)
strategize about blowing down the walls
of the homes of the local pigs
then do nothing
over and over
cut your hair
stop showing up so much
reject the need to be anything
give it up
there is no it
and if there was
you would not be
Zero Point Zero
Y’know, I went back and read a bunch of the Zero Point Zero columns tonight.
I did some good work there, now that I’ve got some distance from it. I absolutely hated them at the end, but I’m ok with them now.
Might be time, soon, to consider a compilation. But I dont’ know how or where to begin, and I don’t have a lot of time to do it.
Any ideas?
