Blocked Up
Alone at his desk, The Scriber wonders: does anybody read this stuff? Am I straining my creative muscles to muster up jokes and stories for nothing? If nobody reads my piece about Amy Winehouse and Rush Limbaugh popping pills together, do they still get high? The Scriber grows troubled.
A haze of PC specs dances before The Scriber, daring him to turn them into literature. Or entertainment, at least. But the HP Pavilion Media Center m8247c Desktop PC stubbornly resists taming. No matter how many pop-culture references he dredges up, no matter how long he flips through his thesaurus, The Scriber remains frustrated.
It used to seem so easy. The Scriber would wrangle an unpromising mess of data – Athlon 64 5600+ 2.8 GHz processor, 640 GB (2×320) SATA hard drive, 3GB DDR2 SDRAM, GeForce 6150SE nForce 430 chipset – into an elegant, witty vignette. Oh, how the people would laugh. But all The Scriber hears now is the hum of the air conditioner and the taunting of his inner demons. What if The Scriber has lost his touch? What then?
And yes, The Scriber knows his name is not really a word. Neither was Dumpster or Kleenex or Kool-Aid. The Scriber doesn’t know much, but he knows his craft.
