The old me rears its ugly head

Back at the rat's nest...
I'm finding every possible excuse to procrastinate doing my work, which is turning out to be extremely boring. Today's tool: cleaning the refrigerator. WITH Q-TIPS AND TOOTHPICKS.

But I can't pull all-nighters to catch up, that's the only way I've changed since college, when I used to put off even the most important papers until the very, very last moment, but then somehow pull it off by sleeping 2-3 hours on weeknights. MAMAS, don't let your babies grow up to be procrastinators. la la ta da. I can't pull all-nighters because I'm too damn old and too damn sick. But I also haven't learned my lesson and waste valuable daylight hours doing everathing but what I should be doing...

I have also been employing other, more conventional methods to delay working, like laundry, errands, the internet.

And eating the world's biggest bowl of cabbage salad. Not really cole slaw, since it only has lemon and oil. It would taste so much better with mayo but I don't know how to make it with mayo. Also, the bio carrots I got yesterday don't taste very flavorful. Good thing I don't remember how much they cost.

You know you're desperate to procrastinate when you watch a rerun of the Super Nanny (Jo Frost, not those three from Nanny Central with the old lady assigning different nannies to different cases), dubbed, including the kids dubbed by adult actors pretending to have kiddie voices.

Asxeto: What in the world, oh whatever am I going to put on my head at K's wedding?!?! Sucks to be bald, as I've said innumerable times.

honest-to-goodness fabulousness (i am such a language rebel when i am off editing duty)here in this blog. tomorrow i shall start in on 2009. it occurs to me that i COULD start reading it palia- > kainouria-style but i often do things backwards and well, i kinda enjoy it and i've survived so far.

took a break for din-din, another to watch a few BIG BANGS with g, another to talk to my mama and finally a long boring housework-y kinda one but all i really wanted to do was get back here!

i see a book in your future, ms m--along with lotsa other good things!seriously--or, if you prefer--cereally--as my old friend amber used to say.

ande kalinixta for now!
