What are you doing right now instead of what you should be? For example, I'm rolling in the crazy, beautiful, pounding, brilliance of The Hip's 'Little Bones', while successfully avoiding writing php code. |

I am playing a multiplayer computor game thing/ virtual world... sad, i know... there.com. V v v sad and pathetic, but cool in a way rofl. I should be studying tho. |
| GratefulFan 17.03.2010 16:06 |
I'm pretty much out of control today! So much to do, so much to do... |
| GratefulFan 25.03.2010 12:21 |
Okay, technically it's lunch, not procrastination. This is on the radio just now. Great tune. |

I'm putting off world domination until the weekend, as I need to paint the door frame in my bathroom. Come the weekend though, you lot are for it. |
| GratefulFan 25.03.2010 14:51 |
^ Ah hahaha. I think you should dominate the world FROM your bathroom. We have the technology. |

I am supposed to read and suggest changes to a contract which is god-knows-how-many pages long but here I am, on QZ. |

That would be the best. Write vague things on post its that make you sound slightly exasperated and put them on random pages. Tear out page 14 and put a big red question mark on page 15. Circle all the w's. Stuff like that. |

I'm supposed to go sleep, but instead I'm listening to this band. |

I should be practising my listening skills in Spanish. INstead I'm on this site. Cuando llegare en Espana en mayo tendre muchas problemas porque no hago mis deberes. |

I was lucky the meeting got postponed to Monday, so I got more time without having to ask. |

I'M LISTENING TO BLACK SABBATH. I don't know what I'm supposed to be doing. Hahaha. |

I'm on YouTube procrastinating going to bed, which along with never returning my library books on time, is a very naughty habit. Great song, possibly one of the greatest. |

ugh tom petty .......... possible the worst singer on the planet except for bob dylan and tom waits, i will never to understand how he got so famous good songswriter though but ugh talk about to an overated band. i always to think that the Wilburys would have been ab better supergroup without those two passengers (dylan and petty) should have invited springsteen instead, he would have outpowered bothe of them!!!! without even trying |

im supposed to finish a song, but im looking for things to shop for tomorrow....not really QZ related, but thought id share :-p |
| GratefulFan 03.04.2010 17:17 |
It's all relevant at The Procrastination Station Lady Nyx. :) I'm badly, badly, BADLY procrastinaing going to shop for Easter food. Nobody talk to me on any thread unless it's tomorrow or I can supply proof of purchase of a turkey. In honour of my team securing the last point they needed to secure a spot in the playoffs I laughed at this commercial for the 700th time. It's short, because as you know, I have to go shopping. |
| its_a_hard_life 26994 04.04.2010 11:49 |
I'M EATING EASTER EGGS. I SHOULD BE... EATING MORE EGGS? TIL I VOMIT AND DIE. Hahahahaha. :D |

I should be sober, but I'm not. I'm drinking lots of beer, listening to Bryan Adams, thinking about women other than my wife, I'm thinking Brian Wilson is really God (even though he claims Phil Spector is), I'm chain smoking, and spitting on the floor. |
| GratefulFan 06.04.2010 16:41 |
I'm putting off checking all the messages that accidentally piled up on my phone while I was listening to Boston '76 too loud in my headphones today. Uh oh! I think I'm going to procrastinate that right into tomorrow. Anyway, any excuse for a video. This song has the weird property of making me feel nostalgic about sharing this period of the 80's with somebody I didn't even know until 20 years later. That's music for you. |
| catqueen 06.04.2010 19:09 |
I'm watching Mr Bean on youtube instead of going to sleep. |
| GratefulFan 06.04.2010 22:40 |
Ha ha...I didn't know who Mr. Bean was. And now I've seen him go to the library and to the swimming pool. |

It was a British tv series years ago, classic now. There was a new Mr Bean film made a year or two ago, Mr Bean's Guide to France or something. I love him rofl. |

is it weird that ive been into billy squier and dropkick murphys this week? lol |
| its_a_hard_life 26994 16.04.2010 08:31 |
I should be making lunch, but instead I'm listening to Ten Years After. |
| GratefulFan 18.04.2010 14:05 |
I'm procrastinating catching up on posting after a truly slothful posting week. This afternoon's entertainment is an exquisite original somewhat lost through numerous later covers. Hope some will listen and enjoy. :) |
| GratefulFan 20.04.2010 09:19 |
Punctuality is overrated. Flannel sheets are rated just right. |

I'm at the library getting some books to read for the three day weekend I thoughfully arranged for myself. I am on a library computer cruising the net and deeply procrastinating going to see the library lady because I'm going to have truly absurd late fees. On books I never even ended up reading! I am just going to stop checking out fiction because try as I might I just like non ficiton 3000% better. It honestly feels like a personal flaw. Can anybody find me some fiction to love? Microwave's beeping in another thread sent me digging up Toto the other day and getting nostalgic. Great song, but this is one goofy vid. Rosanna is acting like your really embarrassing drunk friend and that is a truly epic pornstache on whathisname the singer. |
| GratefulFan 03.05.2010 18:43 |
It's 7:40 pm and I'm still at work, because I've been procrastinating all.day.long. Uh....what can I say about this one? Don't ask, don't tell: |
| GratefulFan 03.05.2010 19:38 |
Okay that was a mistake. I've (I'm) watched that about five times. They're all making me laugh. And I'm still at work. |

I was truly epic homework procrastinator too. Epic. Weirdly, it was usually fun when I got started. And if not fun, at least satisfying. And those library books I mentioned up the thread there on April 22? Still have 'em. Yep. I'm truly hopeless and a very lost cause. Though I'm an honest lost cause, so by the end of my library borrowing life I'll have financed a new wing at the very least. Usually you have to be president or something to get a library built. So I guess that's good. Speaking of books, and your cousin's new book, I have a great story (for me anyway) about my great uncle's old book. As in a book he wrote - a history book of sorts about silver mining in Northern Ontario. I never met him because he wasn't very mobile by the time I was of meeting age and then he died shortly thereafter. But I was as close as one could be to my maternal grandfather, who was his youngest brother. My great uncle wrote his book - found here - under the most adverse conditions. He had a paralytic stroke as a very young man and lived the rest of his life in a wheelchair wih very little use of his muscles. He painstakingly researched and wrote his book over 30 years at a time when there was very little accommodation for handicapped persons in public records places and the like and he typed the manuscript himself literally with one finger a single letter at a time on a heavy old typewriter. My grandfather gave me his copy, personally signed with a shaky hand by my great uncle, in 1980 shortly before my grandpa died. It was precious to me, and it broke my heart when it was lost in a move 12 years ago. And I just about died of gratitude and joy when I found it in a box yesterday afternoon in my basement that I'd just filed away and forgot about as it shouldn't have contained anything important. I feel like I'm 13 years old and I've just gotten it from my grandpa all over again. I'd forgotten too that it contained an old newspaper clipping from 1978 that told the story of my great uncle's accomplishment folded inside the cover, and forgotten it's most beautiful and simple dedication to my great grandparents: "In memory of Paddy and Josie, who lie in the sloping graveyard at Cobalt." Maybe I'm a wee bit biased, but I think that's simply lovely. Anyway, a moral of the story I guess is that if my uncle can write that book we can all do whatever our version of homework is. :) |

I'm procrastinating putting my groceries away. Espcially my best intentions tub of baby spinach. That one's hard. I may never see it like this again! Green, fluffy....a solid. Anyway I saw this last night and I may never be in a bad mood ever again. The bird....the guy...the "Stop cursing and speaking French". Ha ha ha! |
| GratefulFan 24.07.2010 17:17 |
Sigh. I'm procrastinating going to defend the raggedy honour of the Catholic Church in the Mosque thread. But I'm going to do it! Right after this video. Maybe dinner too. Possibly a movie. And perhaps some sleep or something. A years's sabattical at the very outside. |
