That is a hard hitting question! Hmm. I sit around watching tv or playing around on the internet. I've found wikipedia is an endless source of entertainment for situations like this...today I looked at the history of the Melbourne CBD. It was FASCINATING (alas, I'm not joking.)...but then I think maybe I'm a little bit weird.
See by the time I asked that question I had already checked my email and new LJ entries and didn't have the energy to think of anything else to look up lol
But, I did end up going to buy icecream and then made cupcakes and watched the last half of Pirates of the Caribbean on TV.....so I wasn't so unproductive after all.
Don't worry, you're not the only one who goes from wikipedia article to wikipedia article and ends up reading random things.
I went from an article on The Wicker Man (the song they sing at the end of the movie is supposed to be a middle ages-ish song and I wanted to check if I was right about that) to Mayday (the distress signal) because the article on The Wicker Man mentioned May Poles and May Day and I forgot to put a space there and...
...for some reason that ended up with me reading about the building of the city loop and the grid streets of Melbourne. I have no idea how I got there though which is so often the case with wikipedia. I only wish I could wikipedia while at work. I used to do it all the time at Origin and I miss it. Damn.
It's so easy to get lost on there. My searches are mainly random people through history. It could just keep going forever! Coz I look up people I'm interested in and then I'm like 'oh they had a daughter/son?!' click!
Yup! Ice cream was great! Cupcakes turned out great (not like my last batch...failure) and pirates of course was great. I still haven't seen the 2nd or 3rd pirate movies though.
I looked up the town I used to live in too. And then an old train station (Besses O' th' Barn -- I think is how you spell it) at the town I used to live in. And I don't even know why I did it! It's like an addiction! I tried to stop but...I couldn't!
Ooh now you're making me want ice cream. And cupcakes! And...weirdly enough...pirates too! Ooh you haven't seen the 2nd or 3rd movies? *gasp* *horror* THIS MUST BE RECTIFIED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Especially no 2. I swear I'm not just saying that because Norrington is kind of awesome in it (he's all drunk and snarky and not at all like his earlier self). Actually, yes I AM.
lol Addiction? Would you call it that? Ahem! I hadn't thought of looking up stuff like that although my town definitely wouldn't be on there. There's nothing here! Well except me. I guess that makes up for the fac that there's no town here lol
I know! I must watch the other two movies. I've always wanted to but just....haven't.
I think I MAYBE would call it that. It's certainly strangely compelling and hard to stop doing once you start...which might be some of the hallmarks of addiction. You never know what might be there if you go and have a look...I didn't expect Whitefield (old home town in England) to be there but...IT IS! YAY! And, you being anywhere, would automatically make it a place filled with AWESOMENESS and totally worthy of being wikipedia-d. Uh. If that's a word :P
Well clearly we must organise some sort of Pirate watching thing. In addition to our Tudors watching thing. And any other...watching...things...we may have to organise :P
