So, I'm starting work on my thesis, and I suddenly realized that I've managed to lose some of those really good procrastination techniques. So I'm looking for advice. For things to do on those days when I really ought to not work on my thesis, but ought to be goofing off instead. And sending chickens to pelt someone's house with exploding eggs is not an acceptable response. FYI
Playing Literati (aka: online Scrabble) always works for me.
Reading a book.
Surfing the web.
Writing letters to the newspaper.
Doing household chores (laundry, dishes, etc.)
Sleeping, if for no other reason than it just feels good to lie down early in the day and pass out.
Doing yardwork. ("I haven't cut this grass in 2 weeks and I could stretch it out to 3 weeks, but hey, now's a good time as any to cut it.")
Own cats!
They always keep me busy, at least too busy to be doing what I'm supposed to be doing...
they have scrabble online? where have I been??
its yoo bad that setgame only lets you play one game a day. or i'd spend the next 6 months playing setgame all day
You know what takes time away from doing things for me? Thinking of other things to do. [img]smile.gif[/img] And my kid, so either start making a fun stuff list or give birth. [img]wink.gif[/img]
Actually...practicing the "how to" on making babies would probably fill your time too... [img]tongue.gif[/img]
Read a really loooooong book and then go for ice cream...
Kitten War
Trust me, this will suck up your free time like you wouldn't believe.
(And for those who prefer dogs, there's also Puppy War )
OHMYGOD!!!
THAT IS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO CUTE!!!!!!
Very nice eris. All the kitties I chose were in the less than 50% category, so obviously my taste in kitties is different from the majority of people. [img]smile.gif[/img]
Guess she didn't waste as much time as she thought since she's gone again...for the nonce...heh...
Ah well. Easy come, easy go. [img]wink.gif[/img]
In case she comes back

that's awesome rich!
And I like the kitten competition too eris, though sometimes both the kittens were either too cute to choose between or not cute enough to merit choosing. Though that could be the fault of the owners bad photography.
Most of this stuff I'm asking for is actually for the fall. This summer is busy enough. My sister is getting married, so I've been flying back and forth the Boston, seeing people in Austin I haven't talked to in a while, trying to deal with my ex-boyfriend, another wedding that I was a bridesmaid for in Dallas, and so on and so forth. By the time my sister's wedding rolls around, I'll be glad of a break and consider it my real vacation. Mmmm. vacations.
And hey, my goddaughter discovered something amazing. It is possible to run your car into a city bus at upwards of 45 miles an hour and suffer nothing worse than serious bruising from the safety belt and a wrecked car.
The medics told her they were taking her to one hospital, then changed their minds after they took her phone away from her, so we spent three hours calling hospitals in an effort to find her, then called the police, who patched us through to the firemen medics, who were finally able to tell us where she went. It was a little disconcerting though when they said, "Your friend, is she the one who hit the bus?" *blink* "Uh, I hope not..." "Well it can't be the one who was taken directly to the morgue, that person doesn't match your description." "Oh. Uh. Good. Yes that wouldn't be her. She was still talking after the accident."
Stupid bus. So watch out y'all, for buses stopped in the middle of traffic without their flashing lights on.
Wow, I woulda freaked out, but I am good for that. [img]smile.gif[/img]
