Unplugging from the Matrix

…or at least, I’m going to remove and hide my computer’s wifi card so that I can no longer be distracted from my work by the Internet (in particular, Facebook, Outpost Gallifrey and Ship of Fools). I’ve got a lot to do on my dissertation on Christian literary criticism by two weeks tomorrow, as well as redrafting my Creative Writing and revising for my Chinese history and Mandarin Chinese exams.

Hence for the next few weeks I’ll only be checking my email when I use the university computers, and will be blogging less frequently, though I still intend to post my thoughts on Life on Mars and on whether God punished Jesus at some point.

This technological deprivation will probably be almost as traumatic and shocking as Neo being removed from the Matrix, and similarly I may also have to then encounter reality rather than its computer-mediated simulacra.
