When I was a kid with a Nintendo Entertainment System (NES), sometimes my games wouldn’t load. But I, like all kids, knew the secret: take out the game cartridge, blow on the contacts, and put it back in. And it seemed to work. (When it failed, I’d just keep trying.)
But looking back, did blowing into the cartridge really help? I’ve talked to the experts, reviewed a study on this very topic, and have the answer.

wants to be something to someone. likes faint things--faint scents and soft colors and intimations of things, traces of emotions and so on. likes warmth. thinks too much. psychs herself out. is repelled by competition. is not living so much as just killing time, to paraphrase thom yorke. reads like there's no tomorrow. feels like a coincidence. shows her admiration with irreverence. will watch any movie and all movies. doesn't understand herself. realizes the absurdity of the situation.
