"Earth's crammed with heaven, And every common bush afire with God, But only he who sees takes off his shoes, The rest sit 'round it and pluck blackberries."

Bossy Computer

Last night I was feeling irritable.  It was after 10:00, and I get that way then.  I turned off my computer and it said:

"Do not power off or unplug.  Downloading updates."

First of all, updates are my arch enemy because they change things on the computer that you know how to do, and replace them with stupid things that don't work (Microsoft Word, anyone?).

Second of all, I really am annoyed when people tell me what to do.

So, I shut the computer (powered off) and unplugged it to be spiteful.

Yes, I am an adult.  And yes, it made me feel much better.

And we wonder how M turned out so contrary?

Made me laugh as usual.

I wish I could have come see M and E dance too. And support your show of course. I love that M has that love for performing.
