I have been thinking about my memory lately; it doesn't seem up to par. Grasping for simple words has been a common occurrence. As my brain and I grasp for language we can think of a thousand images, contextual moments, ideas, readings, cultural movements that will surround the word that we are seeking: everything but that one thing I need to articulate. It happens to everyone, but I feel like it is some degenerative disease that has entered me.

“A cyborg is a cybernetic organism, a hybrid of machine and organism, a creature of social reality as well as a creature of fiction…” –Donna Haraway (1991)

I have never been very attracted to video games. The last video game that I played for any period of time was Super Mario, and as far as I can recall, I never beat the game. So I surprised myself (and many other people in my life) when I recently invested in a Nintendo Wii. I picked out games and began playing. This has had an effect that I never considered before; I began to dream in video games.
