waiting 20 minutes for a single task on an OS that will eat shit and dare you to restart it if you annoy it too much comes with a certain sense of calm that is missing from modern computing. I am exactly where I need to be, this moment in time will continue until it doesn't, simply here and present

I haven't deep cleaned the house since my parents were here. The price of a clean house is eternal vigilance and an aching back.
