living in the future.
i just posted this (below) to facebook; i think it is the longest update i have ever posted, and now, having done so, i feel a bit ashamed & overexposed, and wonder why i felt compelled to share trivial bullshit over the interwebs. so i thought i’d make the most out of said feelings of shame & overexposure by sharing the post here, as well. more on that below, but first, the back-to-back update (which will be seen here as a single post, which isn’t really accurate):
en route to sf, 35,000 feet in the air or so, enjoying (enjoying?) free wifi. i have already received an email informing me that this free session is valued at up to $12.95. a few more months, i suppose, and this whole living-in-the-future thing won’t seem nearly as impressive; i might as well indulge the totally unmerited awe while it lasts.
(i am also impressed by being able to order coffee from the touch screen in front of me, although i feel rude taking advantage of this feature; i do it, anyway, though, since coffee is important to me right now.)
ah, it’s fun to quote myself, unnecessarily.
what did i say i’d say more of, now? ah, yes, i was going to elaborate on my decision to make the most out of my feelings of shame & overexposure by further shaming & overexposing myself in the rambles here. but now that i’ve reached this point in the rambles, i no longer feel like elaborating.
instead, i will mention that the passenger seated next to me, who was stoking the nearly-nonexistent flames of my Kindle envy earlier, is now involved in what appears to be a very intense anagramming session with the plane’s in-flight entertainment system. i am quite fond of my fellow passenger; earlier she ordered a reuben sandwich on marble rye, which came with a mini-toblerone bar. overall, she seems to be enjoying the shit out of Flight 11.
