Frittering the minutes away...

[todayiamadaisy]

I’m in that state in which I often find myself, where I have certain things to do, quite urgently, but I find myself paralysed with inertia. Despite (or perhaps "because of") the looming deadlines, my brain stalls and I’m utterly incapable of doing any of the things I’m meant to be doing, and so fritter away my time on inconsequential nonsense. Which is all to explain why I’m here, writing nothing much of any consequence, when I should be writing one of two essays I have due in the next week.

I suppose I should at least be thankful I haven’t been sucked into watching the Olympics. I want to be sucked in, but every time I turn on the television they’re showing swimming. Not that I’ve got anything against swimming. I just don’t need to see the same race five times in one day.
