I've found this internet café

Posted February 14, 2001 8:07 PM.

I've found this internet café on Melrose called @coffee, which is quite cool, although vastly more expensive than places like easyeverything in London. It's given me a little time to relax with the net - write a little, think some stuff through - generally to get a little head rest. If you can imagine the brain as a muscle imagine mine as tight and contracted - it feels a bit like there isn't space down any synapse for a pulse of thought to travel. Fucking around on the net seems to let my brain relax - to slump like mush and swill around the bottom of my skull. It's more relaxing than it sounds. I need this sensation of emptying stress and excess thought from my mind... Nothing else quite does it for me...
