I have been staring at the cursor for quite a while trying to gather my thoughts.  The blinking line on this blank computer page is filled with so much more expectation than if I just had a piece of paper sitting quietly in front of me.  It seems to be prodding me into action, and simultaneously lulling me into a hypnotic state.  This will probably be the most coherent one of these things that I ever write.  Just thought I would warn you now, whoever you are.
