"Delay is natural to a writer. He is like a surfer—he bides his time. Waits for the perfect wave on which to ride in. He waits for the surge (of emotion? of strength? of courage?) that will carry him along." (E.B. White, The Paris Review Interviews, 1969)

We are ALL Monkeys
Have you ever seen the experiment where a baby monkey is separated from it's mother and forms an attachment to an inanimate sculpture made out of chicken wire and carpet?
First of all, I think that's awesome. Maybe I can get my wife a roomba instead of a cat...
Second of all, they found 30 people on the internet that said they were emotionally crazy about their roombas and then extrapolated from that. I CAN FIND 30 PEOPLE OF ANY TYPE OF CRAZY ON THE INTERNET. Just sayin'

Who are you calling crazy? Me? My robot "friend"?
Gropius wants one to torture the cat while we're out of the house. Did they factor animal torture in as a variable??
Just bring that cute roomba over here again, sailor
that's too fabulously sad.
