Procrastinating By Musing About Procrastination

[nikitangel]

It's as though I'm watching myself from the outside.  "How long will she procrastinate?"  Seriously.  It's awful enough that I didn't finish grading the speeches yesterday.  To not finish today either is ludicrous.  I have 8 1/2 speeches to go, and I'm sitting here contemplating watching one of my new $5.99 DVDs from Best Buy and going to bed.  So

Just posted it! Real life and betaing Ats No Limits episode 6 took over for a while. Sorry it took longer than I said :;smooches::

Oh, I didn't mean to be snarky or anything! I'm grateful for anything, and every time I check for a new chapter, it means I'm not working, and that's always a good *g*

I'm way behind on No Limits - I haven't read them since the first ep, but I know I'll love them all. I tend to save them until I know I have time to sit down and really appreciate.

You weren't! ::hugs you:: I told you I was about to start it this morning, and the way I write, it should've been up two hours later, or less...but things happened and kept on happening (nothing bad, just routine and stuff) and then we realised 6.7 was due at the betas today and I dropped everything to finish that, as it was a deadline and I just don't miss those if I can help it.

But I felt awful people were waiting and I wasn't able to get a new chapter up when I said.

I doubt many people saw that comment this morning and were waiting. Me being impatient is a compliment to you and your writing *g* Please don't feel awful! And it was so worth it! Perfect characterization on both sides.

I realized how much confidence I have in the writing when I wasn't surprised at how good it was. When I sit back and try to read it objectively, it's still so damn good. And then I started to wonder if I had that kind of confidence in any shows. I don't think I do. There's always a part of me waiting for the show writers to screw us over, but you guys - I know you will always come through.

I am SO right there with you.

Like, I keep picking up Dwight MacDonald, and reading a sentence, and becoming instantly so bored that I have to turn on the television or fall asleep right there. But I've separated out the articles I'm using! That's... something. At least I know which ones I don't have to read.

(ARGH.)

[nikitangel]

That's more than I've done, which is nano mucho. Only I can't spell, but it's funny anyways.

Becoming instantly bored, that's exactly it. Which questions did you pick?

[rm_renfield]

#3 and 4. I think those are really the broadest, which means I can pick and choose which articles to use. Which is good, since there's no way I could read all the ones I've skipped at this point. #3, in particular, only asks for analysis of two or three of the authors we've read.

I'm thinking I might go work at the library tomorrow. They have no TV, and I think that might be good for me.

How was dinner, by the way?

Oh, that is so definitely my thinking on the subject. I, too, noticed that #3 only requires me to read 2 or 3 authors. Convenient, that.

I was also considering the library tomorrow. My TV isn't as dangerous for me, without cable, but my computer is the devil. Hence the possible removal of my wireless card.

Dinner was fun. We went to a Mexican place I've never heard of and now I have yummy leftovers. Plus, one of the guys is a big Joan of Arcadia fan, and he and I had fun chatting about media stuff for the rest of the night (he's in Rhetoric). He has 80 papers to grade this weekend, which makes me feel pathetic for not wanting to grade my piddling 23.
