Procrastination is More Important Than Knowledge

I am so incredibly bad at getting things done (and not just the official productivity system Getting Things Done tm. I mean actually doing shit).

I spent all of yesterday watching downloaded episodes of "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" (best show EVER! Anyone with iTunes, download episode 2-5, Mac Bangs Dennis' Mom), and reading an odd combination of blog archives: personal finance blogs, which made me want to start an IRA or at the very least get some laddered CDs up in here; personal development blogs, which made me want to start waking up at 6 in the morning to work out, then make money from my hobbies and my six-figure-hits blog about a topic that hasn't yet been covered and that I'm an expert in; literary agent blogs, which, contrary to the text of the blogs, made me want to write a novel; and dominatrix blogs, which made me want to make that novel pornographic. Among other things.

And then, at 2:30 am, I realized I'd done nothing of value, so I cleaned my room, separated my recycling from trash and threw it all out (which is quite an accomplishment, as I had the Garbage Stack that ate Nebraska over in the corner), did the dishes (nothing like sparkly silverware), and packed a bag for my all-day library extravaganza starting at 10 am!

Well, it's 10 am Pacific time, so perhaps I'm not as disappointing as I thought. But I have rehearsal from 7-10, and a thing I wanna go to at 5... so I better get on that bible thing.

Final thoughts: I know Jasmine is a very important part of the show I am working on, but by golly, I love that Belle. ("Heeeereee's where she meets Prince Charming, but she won't discover that it's him till chapter 3" is just such a preferable sentiment to "I'm a bratty princess and I complain about living a privledged life with a PET TIGER, for crying out loud." I mean, seriously! I would not be unhappy if I had an adorable and loving tiger! I have a tiger for my phone wallpaper right now and he's adorable and sitting in a pile of rocks. Burn on bright, y'all.)
