Buses allow you to immerse yourself in a big mental bubble. It's almost like the less physical space you have, the more your mental space makes up for it. Pagno: the last line of your comment couldn't have been any more poignant for me right now! Unfortunately, all these modern distractions that we turn to are mass-produced and meant for consumption. They think for you, they daydream for you, they read for you, they shit for you. and they even wipe your ass for you if you pay enough for them. I miss creating out of boredom. I miss painting, writing, drawing, and imagining simply because I had nothing better to do. And about the newspapers: WORD! Widespread shoddy journalism is slowly but surely killing our language. Perhaps they have joined forces with 'txt mssgs to utterly destroy what is left of English prose.
