I read this article in L.A. Weekly and really liked it. The author -- who's white, male and apparently a member of that elite Hollywood writer posse -- did a good job of revealing the underlying uber creepiness of the Web. People not portraying themselves accurately as a friend used to say.
On top of this, I'm taking a lit class at the Hugo House and reading Don DeLillo who is just fucking up my mind to no end.
And I'm spending quality time in Flickr dragging photo images around (that's St. John's Wort above) and tidying up my profile. I've got a new camera on order from Amazon and I'm tempted to 'go pro' on the Flickr site and pay for a full account.
I'm also slowly getting away from MySpace. What a black hole of stupidity that site has become.
And to think DeLillo predicted this in 1985, even before William Gibson. I get a headache just thinking about it.
need to open both eyes and see the whole world to solve almost any problem. -- Gloria Steinem
