if i was an author or gonzo journalist...

how did people do research before the internet.

get up, go to the library, go to the police station, go to the supermarket, gather information, go to the local university?

maybe universities used to be hubs of information. they still are, but you don't have to actually GO there anymore if you're not a student.

anyway. if i did all that I would have a huge pile of papers and books and and receipts on my table at home. or maybe i would have a notebook filled with things I found out.

it would take a long time. but i think it would take the right amount of time to really let myself think it over. i would have the drive or walk in between locations to think about the information while also experiencing the wind in my face and cyclists ringing their bells, and the smell of sausages from the corner deli.

is dissatisfication a word?
