…or how I’ve managed to procrastinate all flippin’ day and now find there’s more behind-the-scenes work to be done before I can get this article off the ground? With the tele-top misbehaving over the past couple days, I’m loathe to even attempt this back-end work on it. That leaves me the trusty Mac, which I can’t use at the moment because I’m working on something else that’s hogging my only disk drive.

You might be interested to know exactly how I’ve dragged my feet and fucked around since about half past six this morning; really, it’s not even fucking around-well, some of it isn’t. I mean, paying bills and balancing bank accounts and grocery shopping shouldn’t be seen as such. Neither should doing laundry and the dishes, nor eating lunch.

But perhaps some other stuff falls into the feet-dragging category: working on new pages at strange cousin susan, but only after creating them once and deleting them purposely; uploading sound files for one of the new pages here; trying to figure out why HandBrake wasn’t doing what it said it would do; Twittering; getting lost at Flickr, wikipedia, and boingboing; reading Azumanga Daioh; organizing files on the computer, even though it wasn’t really a pressing need; tweaking Adium’s appearance ad nauseum; looking for new system icons; and watching two parts of a Doctor Who serial having absolutely nothing to do with my article. At all. Oh, and let me not forget this: plucking my eyebrows. Yes, that absolutely had. to. be. done. today.

Thank God I didn’t paint the toy box. It was far too warm and might have taken away precious time from fine-tuning Adium. Again.
