fool's paradise | 2002-02-22 - 11:56 p.m. Just finished a two-day Diarylandia fast in which neither reading nor writing of diaries was undertaken. �Vaya refrescante! You ought to try it este fin de semana! That said, por mucho que yo disfrutaba my little Diarylandia diet, it was not a matter of choice. It was a logical response to a diary overindulgence, brought on by a cursory reading of Chzza's rich, peppery, imposiblemente scholastic prose. Reading Chzza's diary was like biting into the manzana on the tree of knowledge in Ed�n. I was not even halfway through one of Chzza's pulpy, redolent entries before, de repente, I started feeling naked, gorged, and very, very afraid. I, who had been living in a fool's paradise hasta entonces with my silly little musings on pretzels and Taco Bell, suddenly saw my diary for lo que es -- a tiny, inconsequential blinking luz on the console of a massive, sofisticada supercomputer. (Ya s� que no ten�an supercomputers en Ed�n, but you will please allow me a little licencia po�tica). In the blink of an eye, I understood la diferencia entre lo bueno y lo malo, el negro y el blanco, and hijos, I did not like what mi nuevo conocimiento told me about la calidad of my simple, childish pensamientos. Like Eva en el jard�n, mi primer instinto was to drop the apple and flee, never, ever to read Chzza's diary again. But --alas! -- I am only human, and I know I will slink back alg�n d�a --some day -- to gorge myself on the forbidden fruit again. OK, probablemente as soon as I finish writing this entry. In the meantime, if I do not immediately list Chzza as one of mis preferidos, es solamente porque I fear the great eye of Chzza might all the sooner come to rest on me in my naked and childlike estado. O, hijos, I could not bear the shame.
