I LOOK AT IT EVERY DAY

[karenhealey]

I wrote a book, and it's about to be launched in my hometown! (6pm, Friday Feb 15th, Oamaru Library).

This is mildly hilarious to me, because When We Wake is my first book not to be set in New Zealand, and also my first that will be launched there.

Anyway, I have to get to Oamaru from Christchurch, and I don't drive, so it's the bus for me! In a fit of organisation, I pulled up the bus company website to book a ticket.

Self: Oh good, $21 ticket, yay, shame about the $3 web booking fee but oh well
Self: Time to get my wallet, do do dooo
Self: *glances out window while coming back to computer*
Self: *sees the booking office*
Self: *which is literally right next door*

Internets, may I present REVISION BRAIN?

And if it weren't revision brain, it would be a pretty striking commentary on a) our first-line reliance on the web or b) the way places can lose their primry significance as they get folded into your daily experience.
