infiltrating the beautiful people

You know, I feel no need to be dynamic in ascii over here.
I'm so much less wired than I used to be. I would rather
enchant people than pixels.

These days I look like something I used to hate. The envy
variety of hatred, that is. I look like one of them, and
if I'm not introduced as such ("You'll like her, she's a
berkeley type" - referring to the operating system.) people
tend to be surprised that I end up deep in technology.

In post-apocalypse New Orleans, I've taken up shooting in
the absence of ballet classes to go to. Seems appropriate
enough in these strange times. (I fell in love with a small
black piece of german engineering. In 9mm.) Now it's just
practice, I suppose. It seems to require the same steadiness
of hand and movement. Convincing my hands to behave like
ballet hands and it actually hits where I want it to.

This song is a pretty, melancholy cover. Seems to fit now.

music: The Concretes: Miss you
