There’s a gentle breeze blowing through my open window. The branches outside sway languidly, like hippies at a jamband festival, long after the acid peaked. The tranquil light of afternoon carries with it a melancholy promise of long, cold nights to come. In the sun’s honeyed rays, I can almost taste the fading of summer, the last drops of wine from an emptying bottle, fleeting, yes, but all the sweeter for it.
Meanwhile, I’m shackled here to tell you all about the wonders of the HP Pavilion M8307C PC and its 24” widescreen LCD with integrated speakers. Yeah, as if anybody reads this garbage anyway. As if it somehow makes sense for me to miss out on one of the last gorgeous days of the year to pelt you with factoids about its 500GB hard drive, 2.4GHz Quad core processor, 3GB DDR2 SDRAM memory, and 16X DVD ±R/RW LightScribe drive. Will you even bother to read my warning that its GeForce 8400GS video card is kind of mediocre? Will you even care?
It’s, like, a computer, OK? Get it? A computer that comes with a monitor and a keyboard and stuff, whatever. It’s pretty cheap, and it’s an easy all-in-one desktop package for the computerless, and it’s nice, but no nicer than a dozen others – and certainly no nicer than the day rapidly fading outside my window. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got an appointment with a shade tree, a blanket, and a 32-ounce can of Olde English. Maybe this day won’t be a total loss.
