I have emailed long lost friends, answered the phone every time it rings (three calls from my RRBF, three other calls (two wrong numbers and one firm doing market research). All in an attempt to avoid writing. How do you procrastinate?
I’ve been actively grading the songs in my iTunes Party Shuffle as well, pretending that’s work. The last few to come up:
1. Mr. Brightside, The Killers (four stars)
2. Take It Or Leave It, The Strokes (three stars)
3. Hey Ladies, The Beastie Boys (two stars [I’m in a mood!])
4. The Future Hangs, Cuff the Duke (five stars)
5. Please Don’t Make Me Cry, UB40 (four stars)
6. Countdown Our Days, Fembots (five stars)
I’ve watched a couple episodes of Coronation Street, and a half an hour of Veronica Guerin.
I’ve vacuumed some, washed the tub, dusted and put away my clothes.
I’ve danced around my office to The Strokes and The Pogues. I bought Joy Division’s Love Will Tear Us Apart. Fond memories of bad high school dances.
I’ve written quite a few silly blog posts.
In fact, the only thing I haven’t done is take a nap—but don’t count that option out.
