zip it

i have been up since just after 4am, and it is plausible that my rabbit-esque diet this week has given me some sort of superhuman (in)ability to sleep. the upside, of course, is that sleep presently seems superfluous. but this is beside the point.

the point is several hours from now, i will turn off my cell phone, email, web browser, vocal cords etc. i have decided to take some time away from all this incessant chatter and connectivity that has somehow come to substitute for communication.
