I have attempted to blog before, to mixed levels of success, but not recently.
So, here's a new attempt. The concept: my life and the world I live it in, presented in an amusing and conversational tone. The sort of amusing and conversational tone one imagines when one views John Singer Sargent's "Breakfast in the Loggia," on display at the Smithsonian's Freer Gallery, in Washington, DC.
Who am I? Apt descriptions abound! The best at this moment is "procrastinating law student."
Tonight, I am conducting an experiment: How many hours do I have to sit in front of my computer, with my books and papers spread around me, before my "motion to dismiss" assignment (due tomorrow) will write itself?
We are, at this moment, hovering around the 5 hour mark, but no action as of yet. (Humming "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" hasn't done a damn bit of good, so don't bother suggesting it.)
I will report my findings here on the blog when all the data are in.
Aw. The sorcerer's apprentice always helps me!
ReplyDeleteI make process oriented deals with myself actually.
Like: "Just focus for one hour, and then..."
You fill in the blank: make some tea/ have a nap/ or even just pass in whatever you have. it's better than nothing (we hope).
Starting now!
(I say this as I avoid work at work, "Okay just focus for the last hour of the day, then you can go home, starting NOW!")
I spent many a day in the library, along with my motion materials. I was amazed at my procrastination skills on those days. I mean, really, how can a person spend eight hours in a library with only LRW materials and leave with absolutely nothing to show for it?
ReplyDeleteJust ask me. I did it.
Oh, two things: (1) i put that receipt in your folder and (2) lucinda ticket arrived!
lagniappe: triple exclusive: rachel maddow with governor blagojevich, airing tonight. will be hilarious (in that nerdo law student sort of way).
