Today I looked up at the clock and suddenly realized it was 4 p.m. I woke up this morning at 10 o'clock, late for me, but the cat, Merlin, woke me up earlier then usual because he needed to get out. Anyway, my point is that I had accomplished nothing and half of my waking day had already slipped by.
I should point out that I don't feel egregiously terrible about this kind of thing, but there is a conscious recognition that time has been wasted, that 6 hours of my life are gone that I'll never get back. This really isn't a problem except that I have so much to actually get done.
I keep a To Do List, I don't care what you say it helps me get my stuff done so shut up. At current there's 48 things to be done on the list, and I did 10 of them today. Not too bad really, but I haven't put on the history, or my chemistry homework yet, so make it 10 of 51.
I can't say that there isn't enough hours in the day because I know if I had more I'd just watch more TV, and videos, and lie and sit around more.
On a completely different point, I love the scene in movies with the interrogation. You know, when someone is sitting, usually the protagonist and there's a bright light and an ominous detective. The Matrix interrogation is lacking because of the bloody mouth business. V for Vendetta does it perfectly. The Bourne Supremacy had it too. It's awesome, and any movie that has it instantly goes up a notch.
