Of Other Addictions

Forget smoking - what about blogging, emailing or surfing? I can't seem to get enough.I get up, start my computer and check for email. Go about my routine in the outside world, then back to my routine in the computer world. There's always lots to do: click on the Hunger site and affiliates; turn on my launchcast radio or a friend's; chat; email; blog; check friend's blogs; oh - uh - work; that's only morning. I get reminders popping up for tasks not in front of the computer - dr's appointment and stuff - but mostly, I can while away the day without noticing. I go out and get fodder for my flickr site. I seem to always be thinking of ways to entertain you : ) ... except in the evenings, where I do take a break.
I've been logging on regularly to the Atomic Tumour site, where I can live a guy's life by proxy. How healthy is that? I haven't started on YouTube - somehow, the written word appeals to me more than moving pictures. I read a great article on Evites in yesterday's Time. It described this growing compulsion to make public private matters and try and entertain at the same time.

Maybe smoking is healthier after all...

P.S. I am writing this in Notepad as I have lost my Internet connection... Life is hard.
