Procrastination

So here I sit … not getting my homework done … nor working on my story … procrastinating!

So, what does one do instead of the things they are supposed to do?

Myself, I like to play such titillating games as TextTwist, Jewel Quest, Bejeweled2, and Luxor … though the last has me a bit miffed. Why make a game so hard that one is unable to continue it? So what, if the boards start over from the beginning? The point is to do something mindless for a while, not start WWIII!!

But I digress. What do you do to procrastinate? To look busy where the workload is low? Or when you need some mindless thing to do while your brain tumbles over a weighty problem?

I tried music but I start concentrating on the lyrics and forget my problems … now it I was trying to lighten up a heavy day that would be perfect but I am supposed to be contemplating the meaning of life … no good

I tried books … but technical journals put me to sleep and the best sellers totally absorb me … again not good for contemplating.

Then there is always the dream about it and the answer will come to me in my dreams … well unless the answer to every problem is tall dark and hansom … well that didn’t work.

I guess that leaves me with games …
