fahye | the cusp of self-awareness

I really like the hostel we're at in Naples -- tea and coffee round the clock, I pulled A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius off the communal bookshelf and am enjoying it thoroughly, the second Kill Bill is playing in the common room -- but this computer's keyboard has the world's most unnerving spacebar. It takes almost no pressure to get a space, and it doesn't FEEL like it's been pressed, so I keep holding it down for too long. I am of the opinion that it is LEARNING MY HABITS and soon it will just start inserting spaces entirely of its own accord. I am not explaining this very well, but believe me: it's creepy.

Today I walked around the crater of Mount Vesuvius and then the ruins of Herculaneum and it was like my Year 8 Latin textbook CAME TO LIFE AND SWALLOWED ME WHOLE. Incredible.
