I should be on my way to the airport but this was just too good to share. Below are the opening paragraphs of a LiveJournal post by chalain entitled So Beautiful, So Disturbing
I wake. For a moment, I stare at the ceiling trying to remember
something. Something important. Something important happened last
night, but the details escape me. Something fascinating yet sinister,
like touring the CIA offices. Something exotic yet somehow familiar,
like putting hot sauce on meatloaf. I wonder if I have a hangover. I
wonder why I am thinking about the CIA and meatloaf. I roll onto my
side.
There is a strange woman in bed with me.
A
lot of things happen at once. First, I realize that this is the most
beautiful woman I have ever seen, and I am a lucky, lucky man. Second,
I realize that this is not my wife, and I panic. Third, I realize that
she's awake, has been watching me sleep. Fourth, before I can really
react to thoughts 1 and 2, she smiles at me and speaks with a lovely
accent I can't quite place: "So. You like new wife, yes? Yes. Up now, I
make breakfast."
She gets out of bed and stretches, perfect
curves sliding under silky lingerie and momentarily making me forget
about breakfast, meatloaf, and whoever it was I was married to before
last night. She seems to know this, and smiles at me again, but
apparently she's serious about making breakfast. She turns and strides
confidently from the room. As she does, I see for the first time the
large Microsoft logo splayed across her back. My stomach lurches as I
suddenly remember everything.
Windows Vista. I bought a new computer yesterday... and it came with Windows Vista.
Read the entire thing here. It's pretty good stuff and is kinda cool that software can invoke such positive and negative emotions from its users.
