Google-y Eyes
D: ... and she was telling me about how great it is, because you have "iGoogle" or something, and you can--
A: I have iGoogle. It's my homepage.
D: Yeah, well, and you can tag folders, and Google will send you articles that it thinks you would be interested in--
A: Yep. I have that.
D: And she said this was so great, but I was like, no, thanks! No Googly eyes for me!
A: ...
D: ...
A: That's where I get all my news.
D: ...
A: They actually let you choose if you want to read it or not!
D: A! Wake up!! Don't you see!? They're feeding you!
A: ...
D: You're saying, "They're nice." It's like, "Google: The benevolent Big Brother."
A: So? I'd rather it be a Benevolent Big Brother than a Malevolent one.

Seven Lines from Thomas Eliot
Among the smoke and fog of a December afternoon
You have the scene arrange itself -- as it will seem to do--
With "I have saved this afternoon for you";
And four wax candles in the darkened room,
Four rings of light upon the ceiling overhead,
An atmosphere of Juliet's tomb
Prepared for all the things to be said, or left unsaid.
Portrait of a Lady
Thomas Stearns Eliot (1888-1965)
