The difference in using cheats of paper and books compared to using a laptop is huge. The actual writing may be a bit easier on a laptop, but the big difference is in the cheap entertainment you get from game and movies that just happen to end up on it as well. It’s so easy to mentally retreat back home when you have a computer with just a couple of movies. The only time this western bubble collapses is when you need a toilet break.

I woke up with a stomach acting like the French revolution, but it’s possible it didn’t wanted bread. It just wanted revolution, and the pain spread downwards during the day. This gave me a reason to barricade myself from reality for the day, and go through the movies I collected the day before. After just a couple of minutes could I feel like I was home again, sitting in my room with nothing better to do then a marathon of TV series.

The weird part is that it really didn’t make me any happier watching the movies and series. Sure I felt like home and that might be a good feeling, but after each episode or movie was over I just felt like taking on the next one. Compared to reading a book was this such an easy way to satisfy my brain, with no actual thinking involved. Just absorb the special effects and then on to the next one, like I really needed to continue. When I’d read for a while and put down the book I always felt at ease, like happy I’d done something. That feeling was completely absent after a movie.

Having an easier alternative is the killer of my ambition, so this day I got almost no writing done. That could although also be due to lack of energy, I was actually sick this day and didn’t eat that much. I did feel like a big portion of apple crumble, so I took a trip down to the restaurant Once Upon A Time for one of these as a lunch. At that moment it felt good to be sick, since the portion of apple crumble easily could challenge any other portion of food in amount, but it is still a dessert and my conscience was tied down in the cellars during this revolution. As it should be.
