When I awoke to big rain and wind this morning, the first thing I thought was, “Ooooh, I wonder what that looks like online!” It looks like this.
When I read an e-mail from an East Coast friend who asked about the storm, I knew it was a pretty big one. I hope the power doesn’t go out, or I won’t know what to think.
I decided to stay grey rather than brave the traffic across the bridge to my hairmistress’s place. When we spoke on the phone, she — normally quite brilliant — said:
My ignorance about things I don’t know about really scares me.
That’s the worst kind of ignorance, I think.
I’m trying to get off the Internet to get some work done, but a pop-up ad with an animation of a woman aging has me mesmerized and terrified. As I watch her go from smooth to withered, I keep wondering where I am in the continuum. Look.
