Internet Time Suck

On September 21, 2009, in General Blatherings, by Lisa

See, today I decided that I was done farting around online every night reading this website or that. I was going to plan my evenings! PLAN THEM, I tell you! I would work on some woo-woo thing or read or do something, anything other than surf. Knowing my propensity for farting around online, I gave myself two nights out of five to just free form it. But the other three had to have some productive element to it. How empowering all that felt to me! I fantasized about David Cook and his arms all the things I would accomplish with this wealth of time. I would start this very evening, in fact.

And then something happened. I found a link on my friend’s Facebook page and I have now spent the better part of the last hour looking at inane pictures and going from one page to the next.

First, there’s the “Awkward Family Photos” page where I found this gem:

And then I surfed over to Celebrity Camel Toe section where this one caught my, uh, eye.

I am not a fan of the camel toe but had to put that one in there just for a certain special someone who loves to chant those words just to annoy me. (Uh huh – you know who you are! heh)

Finally, here’s something that I think even Mad Men wouldn’t put forth – a Chase & Sanborn coffee ad from the 70s. OY!

If you’ve got about eleventy hours to kill, start surfing around that site. I guarantee that you will wonder where the time went.

Beware the Internet Time Suck! And now, off to do something productive! (or not)

This damn cold, which Jaelin says is definitely energetic fallout from Counseling week, is finally starting to ebb away. I am a craptastic patient – whiny, mopey and just no damn fun, as anyone who has been the recipient of my emails from the past few days can attest. Anyway, that’s on the way out and I hope to be back to my fabulously fun self in mere hours.

Here’s how bored I was: I ran out of stuff to surf on the internets!! It is true, y’all. I got to the very edge of the ‘nets and peered over only to see a huge abyss staring back at me. I can’t read but so much political crap without wanting to throw something, I’m not into the gossip anymore and besides, I don’t even know who the hell half these people are. Aack.

So here’s what I did instead of surfing: the laundry, read some, watched the last 40 minutes of Jerry Maguire (who both completes me and had me at hello, fyi), wrote three pages of pent up grievances and then burned it in a metal bucket sending it out into the ether, made that easy chicken dish for dinner, strolled around Kmart for no good reason, got my nails done and played with Sophie.

I did pieces parts of a meme so each day I will post a few for your daily list needs.

Here are a few in no particular order:

3. I’ve come to realize that when I’m driving. . it helps my mood to let people in line or otherwise do something nice that was unexpected.

4. I’ve come to realize that I need. . . to be able to sit by the water.

5. I’ve come that realize that I have lost. . . the only “child” I will have in this lifetime. But I am so glad to have had complete and unconditional love with her. It’s a wonderful gift.

6. I’ve come to realize that I hate it when. . . I see/hear about animal cruelty. I cannot even bring myself to read anything about it.

7. I’ve come to realize that if I’m drunk. . . I probably had a really good time getting that way.

And some from this week’s meme:

6. I am … feeling much better.

7. I feel … better. (Am I stuttering?)

8. I see … that I have been a slug for almost a week.

9. I need … a haircut and color. (Tuesday! YEY!)

10. I love … my freedom.

11. I wish … someone would friggin’ nominate me for “What not to wear

12. I think … I’d hide my four David Cook related t-shirts (along with my “Peace, Love and Coffee” one) so Stacey and Clinton won’t make me throw them out.

13. I hear … the birdies still chirping.

14. I crave … intimacy.

15. I fear … intimacy.

16. I hope … I get over that one day.
