Two. Freaking. Weeks.

Over! Though in that time I've learned the computer only exists to sap my life away, and that you can get so much out of staying away from the blasted thing. Muad'Dib was onto something (see the previous post).

Speaking of Paul, here's a quote for dear Joel. This was all I needed to understand why it's in the top 3:

Muad'Dib could indeed see the Future, but you must understand the limits of this power. Think of sight. You have eyes, yet cannot see without the light. If you are on the floor of a valley, you cannot see beyond your valley. Just so, Muad'Dib could not always choose to look across the mysterious terrain. He tells us that a single obscure decision of prophecy, perhaps the choice of one word over another, could change the entire aspect of the future. He tells us "The vision of time is broad, but when you pass through it, time becomes a narrow door." And always, he fought the tempation to choose a clear, safe course, warning "That path leads ever down into stagnation."
