7/17/08 Super Computer

(colored lights blinking randomly)
beep boop beep bop
beep beep
boop bop
(small ribbon of paper snakes out of the
output slot)

The tiny scientist inside my head picks up the end
of the paper and begins to read:

"send package wedding card milk diapers oil change van registration rehearsal at six babysitter for friday charge the phone bills reserve a room do the mileage preschool sign-up helmet band-aids order checks recycling thank yous"

The tiny scientist shakes her head and lets the paper slip out of her fingers onto the floor.

Except for the diapers part, this sounds a lot like what's in my head most of the time, too. I keep checking things off, but the list doesn't get any shorter.
