I kept lighting on that idea to forgo internet and cable installation in my new apartment and finally decided there must be some importance to it so I'm following my gut instinct on this and severing those electronic ties or, at least, preventing them from growing in the first place by cancelling the installation that is planned for Friday.

While I acknowledge the unabashed Panglossian intentions behind this decision and know that it will result in even fewer, less frequent posts here, I want to pursue this end with a scientist's eye. I want to open myself up as widely as possible to other worlds.

In previous apartments, in previous lives, I've managed to keep well-occupied by surrounding myself with a variety of media at the sacrifice of not only my wallet, but of my free time, artistic motivation, and various other pursuits. I've never been without these previously-deemed-essential technologies and might rescind this decision a few months down the road but the main goal here is to experiment, that's all.
