There is a hole in the floor
It's about time I had a title that wasn't a congratulatory reference to some obscure and archaic piece of literature. Yes, there is a hole in the floor here. My computer chair keeps getting a wheel stuck in it.
Is this a metaphor for life in general? Are all of our computer chairs constantly getting stuck in holes in the floor? Are we perpetually struggling to get our computer chairs out of the holes in the floor? Are we just ignoring the holes in the floor, hoping they'll go away? Should we fix them? Or should we create a new, innovative floor that never gets holes in it? Or better yet, create a computer chair with in-built floor-hole-resisting technology? Should we add walnut-burr panelling to such a chair? How much should we charge for these chairs? Should the marketing be done in an esoteric, attention-grabbing way, or in the traditional way by using buzz words like 'ergonomic' and 'Don't take my word for it, here's mister Buzz Aldrin' (pun definitely, and incredulously, intended)?
I think it's a question that is definitely worth looking into.
Second question worth looking into: Is it just me, or is Gavin Brown an incredibly unattractive man? I'm not having a stab at the fact that his eyes look in different directions, but he really does have that untrustworthy, sleazy politician look about him... I mean, he's no Arafat in terms of ugliness, but then who could be?
Third question, this one isn't worth looking into: In 10000 words or less (whichever suits you), critically analyse Baudelaire's integration of sensory perception in poetry and compare this with other writers of the Symbolist movement.
At the rate I'm going, I could probably do that right now.
