I have been looking at a computer screen all day. There are words in it: right now I am looking at words appear every few seconds. I paused for a moment in order to write this sentence—this would be writing in the “present tense” I suppose, in more than one sense, because the subject is being created as it is written. I’m going to write this description in word 2010 (the window is white, with the shape of a page superimposed over a gray background, and the ribbon layout on top of it—set on the “home” tab right now, the font set to Calibri, 11, normal layout, single spacing, the sound of myself typing on the keyboard, end parenthesis) and paste it into blogger. Most likely, I don’t remember quite how it works, the font will change. This text will appear as a single paragraph, very loosely put together, attached to around 50 words of commentary(maybe less, because I think I’ll trail over the 200 word count a little with this section already). In that sense, the commentary is also part of the blog entry. Before writing this, I had considered writing about a coffee cup (which is giving me the energy to write, right now), but I decided not to, because everything in it was cold, and I really didn’t feel like it. The image of text on a computer screen is sort of iconic, in a way. This is what the icon looks like right now.
