modern fragility

I now have a file on my computer called "thesis.doc", and I cannot tell you how perilous everything has suddenly become. I have saved it to four different external drives, sent it to all my gmail accounts and uploaded it onto my webserver, and I am still paranoid that my room will spontaneously combust, google will go bankrupt and shut down all their mail servers, and the internet will be annihilated by the CIA. and I have only written 2500 out of 30,000 words so far.

ps: librophiles amongst you should keep track of my bookporn; you will not see anything hotter, sexier or more nubile in any FHM/playboy periodical. here is the bookporn feed.
