During the downtime on tour, I simply walk from room to room, staring into my computer.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I was really worried that sitting at home by myself in front of a computer was going to make me crazy.
I'm someone who sits at a computer eight hours a day, and I look in that pinhole camera at the top of my screen and think, 'Someone could be watching me.'
I used to do my best thinking while staring out airplane windows. The seat-back video system put a stop to that. Now I sit and watch old' Friends' and 'Everybody Loves Raymond' episodes. Walking is good, but here again, technology has interfered. I like to listen to iTunes while I walk home. I guess I don't think anymore.
Sometimes my husband has to literally pull me away from the computer.
I borrowed a creaky laptop from my husband, went into the web, and never came back.
I can walk through a hotel lobby and watch people at the desk and see what they're doing. People don't look at me. They don't even know I'm there.
I've never really been anywhere, and now I get to go everywhere. I just have to make sure there's enough memory on my computer to hold all my pictures.
When I'm doing work online or on the computer, it's one thing. When I want to read, I want to go elsewhere, and I want to be away from the screen.
It is an interesting fact that during my tour I was never allowed access to computers, radios, or anything else that I might damage through curiosity, or perhaps something more sinister.
When I'm online, I'm alone in a room, tapping on a keyboard, staring at a cathode-ray tube.
