I haven't purchased a HP item in close to a decade - I use the books I already had as doorstops or to prop a laptop up for meetings nowadays.

"He was coming to see me one afternoon—I was still living with my parents then—and his coming in woke up my father. Instead of apologizing, he said, in an indescribably gentle way, raising a hand as if to calm him and walking softly on tiptoe through the room, 'Please look on me as a dream.'... ...As we were coming home once after one of our nights roving about, in the early hours of the morning, and the first awakening sounds of town life were making themselves heard—milk carts, etc—he stopped and listened and said,'The crickets of the metropolis.'"

—Max Brod, Franz Kafka: A Biography

"When I entered his office, Kafka was busy turning out his desk. On the narrow side to the right, where a chair stood ready for any visitor who might arrive, lay a pile of books, newspapers and office memoranda. Kafka waved to me across the desk. 'Greetings from my paper dungeon!'"

—Gustav Janouch, Conversations with Kafka

i simply need everyone to understand that i am tired all of the time. literally at all moments. if i ever go somewhere and do something, it is not because i am somehow full of energy, but instead that i have carefully stored up all of my little bits of energy like a dragon collecting jewels, and am now vaporizing them all at once
