The luxury of boredom ?

so,
Here we are on a fine rainy Saturday.
So far I've managed to, get out of bed, take a shower, walk accross town to drop off a letter, do a load of laundry, make lunch, figure out the google changes to blogger (why?), and just in general faff about.
it's 4 in the afternoon and I am bored.

Don't get me wrong. There are things that could use doing. Crappy adult things : cleaning the bathroom, straightening the avalance on our desk, more laundry/ironing, grocery shopping......

There are books i could dive into, the new March Glamour magazine to devour, CDs that need to be burned, music to be put on my new I-Pod shuffle for when i work out......
(Fourtunately going to the gym is not at option now, it closes at 1:30 - but i shuffled that option under the rug this morning)

And then there are the truly grand projects that could be started: Weeding out the closet, vaccuming (the dog hair makes it monumentous), working on my new American Culture class for next year, getting back to learning Portugese verb conjugation, looking for a new couch on e-Bay, making a haircut appointment, thinking about what to have for dinner...........

So as I blog, and not say anything of true importance, or even consider starting on the path to some productivity - here's a way to sum it up:
I'm dead bored,
and not really enjoying it.

So, is this luxurious? is it decadent? is it irresponsible? is it wasteful?
choose anyone you like. i'm indifferent.
and bored.

But yet, absolutely refuse to watch TV. I Overdosed last night and this morning.

And now that I have nothing else to say - I'm going to go.....and .....do......I have no idea.

The word everyone needs

I've been trying to put something up for the sake of putting something up. and i came accross this.
Don't even try to tell me this isn't one of the greatest words in the world.
Please, do try to use it as much as you can. Spread the seed. word.

Example Sentence:No matter how many times I try to explain it, my grandmother just can't grok what a blog is and why anyone would want to read one.


Did you know?"Grok" may be the only English word that derives from Martian. Yes, we do mean the language of the planet Mars. No, we're not getting spacey; we've just ventured into the realm of science fiction. "Grok" was introduced in Robert A. Heinlein's 1961 science fiction novel Stranger in a Strange Land. The book's main character, Valentine Michael Smith, is a Martian-raised human who comes to earth as an adult, bringing with him words from his native tongue and a unique perspective on the strange, strange ways of earthlings. "Grok" was quickly adopted by the youth culture of America and has since peppered the vernacular of those who grok it, from the hippies of the '60s to the computerniks of the '90s.
