Wasting time

Published on May 15, 2009 in Life. 41 Comments

So yeah, I wasted the last few hours reading things on TVtropes once again (“Oh, maybe I’ll just read that one article, there’s no way I’d end up reading hundreds of other ones”). A few minutes ago, I remembered I was going to update this site, then couldn’t think of anything and decided not to bother making anything that even remotely looks like I put effort into it. And here it is!

Also, I will not provide a link to TVtropes because it will most likely end up in many wasted hours — if you don’t already know what it is, please don’t Google it unless you have hours to waste or are prepared to face the consequences. Or if you are the kind of person who is immune to wiki-like websites with loads of links to other interesting articles.

Swine Flu

Swine flu is spreading rapidly… as a topic of discussion! So many people are saying things along the lines of “Oh no, swine flu, we’re going to die!” and I can’t even look up “plural version of flu” on Google without getting a bunch of swine flu results in the first page. And even dictionary.com‘s entry about the word “flu” has “swine flu” in it! And now the swine flu is on this site! How did that happen?! Run! Run before you catch it from the internet!

18th Birthday

I guess today would be a good time to link to this old daily flash about birthdays, because today is my 18th birthday! That is all.

Antiprocrastination

Maybe “antiprocrastination” isn’t the correct word to use, but the other stuff I found isn’t that great either. Maybe “efficiency” would work too, but there’s already a daily flash about efficiency (in the engineering sense). This happens a lot (like today, specifically); I’ll think “Oh, I’ll just do my work really quickly so I’ll have more time to do stuff later.” And then later, I’m incredibly bored and have nothing to do with a lot of time left before the day is over, and then I start thinking about how pointless everything is, and that’s never good.

There, I pretty much just summarized the whole idea behind today’s daily flash, so if you read this text before watching (“reading” would probably be more accurate) the daily flash, it has been spoiled. Not that it really matters, though. Anyway, here‘s a random link to the daily flash about procrastination, because it’s related. Or it would be, if I ever get around to finishing it.

Earth Day

Today is Earth Day! (Or yesterday was, depending on your timezone) I didn’t really bother doing anything to show that I cared about the environment, except… well, not throwing trash on the floor, but I do that every day. Anyway, the fact that today was Earth Day wasn’t really mentioned that much in school, except on a bunch of posters that nobody really spoke about except maybe one person. And to avoid turning this into a post about the social implications of Earth Day (as if Headphones Character’s monologue wasn’t enough already), I will end this post after this sentence is finished, which will be now.
