I wouldn&#8217;t want to post a strange mess of characters I typed out just trying to get the damned delete key to work&#8230;.<br \/>\n<!--more--><br \/>\nOriginally, I was going to call this &#8216;On my incredible lack of work ethic,&#8217;  but then my ability to correct things went away.  So I had to fix that.<\/p>\n<p>About getting things done &#8212; I&#8217;ve done absolutely nothing to this site since my last post.  Nothing at all.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve got a hell of a lot of work left just to get the Idiot Archive integrated with this thing.  And I&#8217;m un-thrilled about that.  Which is why I jumped ship over to the currently-hiding-behind-the-under-construction-page Daily Paranoid Delusion.  I partially worked out my archiving issue.  It&#8217;s not doing exactly what I want [the single page daily is acting like all the others and only giving a small exerpt], but it&#8217;ll do for now.<\/p>\n<p>Now, instead of filling in content, I&#8217;m sorting categories.  I&#8217;m good at putting off doing the important big things by doing stupid little things.  The art of procrastination, and all that.  Maybe I should write a book about it, or something.  A nice little self-help HowTo on how to successfully procrastinate and get away with it because other people think you&#8217;re actually doing something.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll just put that on my list of things that I should never do unless I really need something seriously serious looking to do while putting of something <i>really<\/i> important, like saving the world.  Or something.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, that&#8217;s good.  When required to recycle, pretend you&#8217;re writing a book or something.  Yes, yes&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m tired, obviously.  And I&#8217;ve just dropped sorting categories to type mindless bullshit for my main site.  Isn&#8217;t that just nice of me?  I&#8217;m putting off procrastinating.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m thinking of actually trying to mess around with the administrative stuff on these pages.  Backend stuff.  Just trying to get them to look how I want.  That could be quite dangerous, I suppose.  Maybe I&#8217;ll do that instead of finishing this article.<\/p>\n<p>Quick, someone call a doctor.  I&#8217;m an Adult ADD poster child&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;Zombi seems to think it&#8217;s absolutely LOVELY to step on keyboards whenever they happen to be in front of her, and the person at it is actually doing something.  Bad kitty.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll have to go outside, even though the sun is up. I&#8217;m out of painkillers that actually do their jobs, so I&#8217;ve been trying to avoid that.  The back yard is getting scary.   Maybe tomorrow, or something.<\/p>\n<p>What was I saying&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>Oh yeah.  Netflix.  Netflix kicks ass, even though they seem to have slowed down considerably now that I&#8217;m paying them.  My two week free trial was full of DVDs shipping out and showing up the next day.   Until last week, when I got three and then nothing all week, just in time for my free trial to end.  Joy.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s really neat, though.  I like the whole &#8216;renting DVDs through the mail without ever leaving home&#8217; sort of thing.  I&#8217;m a big fan of things coming to me instead of me having to go to them.<\/p>\n<p>My HomeTheatre system is acting up again.  I might have to call Sears about it.  I really don&#8217;t feel like it right now.  If I felt like doing anything, I wouldn&#8217;t be doing this.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m sitting here kinda watching one of the DVDs we got this time.  The first disc of something called <i>Yes Prime Minister.<\/i>   Before that was <i>The People that Time Forgot<\/i>.<\/p>\n<p>I suppose if I&#8217;d queued everything in the right order, this one would make more sense.  It&#8217;s a second part to something called <i>Yes Minister<\/i>.  But it&#8217;s kinda funny anyway, even though I&#8217;m not always sure I understand what&#8217;s going on.  It seems to be about two things I&#8217;m completely unfamiliar with.  Politics and the English government.<\/p>\n<p>Okay, maybe that&#8217;s not two things.<\/p>\n<p>Even if I don&#8217;t get most of the jokes, it&#8217;s better than <i>The Movie that Should&#8217;ve Been Forgotten<\/i>.  Big rubber stegosaurs, Rodan, and some bumpy rubber snapping turtle\/armadillo cross thing.  And a bunch of people.  And I&#8217;m not sure what happened.  It&#8217;s another sequel where I didn&#8217;t see the first one.  I&#8217;m doing that a lot lately, like with <i>Sleepaway Camp<\/i>.  I&#8217;ve seen 2 and 3, but never the first one.  And I&#8217;m not sure I need to.<\/p>\n<p>Before these things was <i>Marathon Man<\/i>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Is it safe?&#8221;  Of course not; there seems to be a dentist in the room.<\/p>\n<p>Okay, so I didn&#8217;t really pay much attention to the movie at all.  I skipped over to <i>Virus<\/i> part way through, and promptly didn&#8217;t pay attention to that the first time either.<\/p>\n<p>The second time, I kinda regretted it.  It wasn&#8217;t a very good movie at all.  Horrible letdown.  Maybe I&#8217;ll write longer reviews later and turn them into actual posts.   Won&#8217;t that just be&#8230;content-ish.<\/p>\n<p>I think this is enough mindless bitching for one post, don&#8217;t you?<\/p>\n<p><!--adsense--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8230;not in the sense that I can&#8217;t delete things from my computer, but in the sense that, occasionally, characters or entire words will decide that they&#8217;re completely undeletable.
