Ah, the perils of the 21st century
Part of my decadence destressing :)
Me: Come on, we're house sitting
Beloved: I'm not ready yet!
Me: We're going for 4 hours. Even I haven't felt the need to pack a bag (extras tucked into the car do not count).
Beloved: I've been there before, there's nothing there!
Me: 4 hours together. You have me, a television and all the books you can carry. What's the problem.
Beloved: I don't turn pages, I scroll
Me: What?
Beloved: I cannot exist without a computer, broadband line, DVD player, Digital television, MP3 player and a machine which can make at least 4 kinds of Italian coffee!
Me: You are so owned by technology. What would you have done if you had been born in the 14th century?
Beloved: Converted to a religion that believes in reincarnation and repeatedly poison myself through life times until i am greeted by a capuccino that I can order online.
Me: *headdesk*
