Me And My Stuff

I do seem to have an interesting propensity towards developing fairly deep emotional attachment to some objects. Primarily my handkerchiefs. Especially my favourite amongst the bunch. Just today, I noticed another one of them was fraying. This will not make much sense, but all I can say is that I feel their pain. In fact, it feels like a sense of loss quite akin to what I'd feel when a friend is passing on. Of course, that's a purely irrational feeling (not that they ever are rational) since hankies aren't gona have feelings and I can always get another. I think. But like Linus' security blanket, it just wouldn't be the same if I got another.

On a side note, I realized why the exhaust airflow in my computer casing is so sluggish despite having an obscenely powerful 120mm box fan fitted. It seems that the front grill of a Coolermaster Centurion casing is hardly efficient at letting air through. It appears to reduce airflow by at least 50%, which is logical given that the perforations are 50% of the total surface area or less. I dare not think just how much I had been sacrificing in airflow before I removed the foam filters, which would have further reduced airflow. No wonder my graphics card overheated.
