      It’s always interesting trying to balance having both the laptop and the cat on your lap (and then continuing to use the laptop while the cat inevitably lays on your arms)

        I know the feeling x1,000. My kitten is too cute to move, but it’s really difficult to type like that.

    useless object which suddenly makes you hyperaware of the fact that you otherwise spend 8+ out of any given 24 hrs staring at it.

    Sometimes I lose the internet, and then I play solitaire for like two hours, and then I slowly back away from my computer and go outside, and it is lovely.

        My computer recently spazzed on me, and I spent the entire morning reading a book. It was nice.

    Ahh this is super-relevant to my life when I was stuck on Amtrak for 14 hours. How do they still not have wifi?? I did have an L-word DVD though, so.
