While I’m all for all this stuff — Twitter, Facebook, email, whathaveyou — I will say that so much communicating is going on that I can’t really process it all. I have six-hundred unanswered Facebook messages, a hundred or more unanswered twit responses, and now nearly 1,000 unanswered emails. For about 15 years, I used to carry around a debt that was always between fifteen and thirty thousand dollars, depending on the lunar cycle, and it weighed on me like a psychic and fiduciary carbuncle; now I carry all these unanswered messages in my head, feeling guilt about them, like a bed that never gets made or a piano lesson that’s never practiced for.
