I’m not very bright sometimes…
I’ve really managed to get poor-time-use down to an artform lately. I spend hours trawling through wikipedia after I venture warily onto the site to find out some basically useless information about a footballer or something, before I’m dragged into the vortex of clicking on articles about battleships, theological principles, and video games.
Sometimes I have so many tabs open in my browser that I’m left squinting around trying to find the original item that I actually wanted to know about, and then I manage to convince myself that reading through all of those useless articles was some sort of acheivement, so I reward myself with another trip to the kitchen to make a cup of tea or something.
Damn it, I just want to finish my essays (almost there, so close I can smell it… or at least I can smell something). I’ve written more words in dumb emails today than I needed for my assignment, but for some reason they’ve all been so much easier to write.
My iPod informs me that I’ve run out of Rolling Stones songs to listen to, so I’m giving it the chance to choose my next hour’s worth of music randomly… ooooh, The Kooks!
(back to writing something that I’m meant to be writing)
