Unproductivity

[onefixedstar]

Work on the thesis continues. Yesterday was a write-off, but today's been a little more productive. The secret, I've found, is to resist the lure of the computer lab (and Internet) by hiding in my office. It's a strategy that would work really, really well if only I didn't absolutely hate writing things out by hand. Unfortunately I do, and that means that after a couple of hours of taking notes by hand, I get frustated and wander in and open the browser just to quickly check my email before getting down to work...and suddenly an hour has passed and the only thing I've accomplished is to learn a little more about Howard Dean's campaign. Sigh. At least the TWoP forums have mostly gone into standby mode for the summer.

Hey, yeah! You write fanfic! How come you don't participate in all the slashficathons that seem to go on in my friends pages?

Hmm, I've never tried writing a slashfic but I suppose I could start. Maybe when I have more time.
