Some Words

So… it hasn’t exactly been a habit to write in this space recently. Last night, as I was deeply busy not writing, I started to think about habits. I’d seen this video by ze frank about procrastination. (Thank you 43folders for the link.) I thought it was a good laugh.

Last night I realized that instead of doing what I’d intended to do, I was downloading fixed width fonts form my terminal program. I was so angry with myself for putting off all that work that I went to bed. Productive.

This morning I was in the bathroom brushing my teeth shortly after waking up. I was thinking about habits, and after a rinse and spit, I went to leave the bathroom. On the way out, I hit the light. This turned the light on though, as I don’t turn the light in the bathroom on unless it’s dark out. For some reason though, this habit has not been linked with my habit for turning out the light as I leave the bathroom. Sometimes I don’t catch myself turning the bathroom light on as I leave. I find the bathroom light on later. I’m convinced something in my brain has crapped out, possibly after a night of hard drinking.

This morning I was going to get right down to work on all the things I hadn’t done yesterday. Instead I started looking up wordpress themes. Then I considered learning php so that I could make my own. What amazes me about ze franks monologue about procrastination is how eerily it has begun to describe my own life.

Look at Ian not writing.
