Following Dobbs (sort of) →[More:]Taking a cue and clue from Dobbs, I'm going to strive extra, extra hard to stay off the MeFi and the MeCha (and Flickr and eBay and Woot! and, sob, yes, even Thong Battle) during the weekdays.

Far too much stuff is towering above my desk threatening to engulf me if I don't start blasting it all to hell.

Sorry if that didn't make any sense but its more of a declaration than anything else. I figure, if I post it then it exists outside of my brain and is alot harder to ignore.

And I'm ordering a copy of Getting Things Done too.

Thong Battle?

You know, I tried to read Getting Things Done, and I barely made it past the introduction before I got impatient and started thinking, "Quit telling me you're going to show my how to Get Things Done and actually tell me how to Get Things Done!!!" Then I stopped reading.

I probably wasn't giving it a chance, but self-help reinforcement is not the way to Get Things Done.

Aw, jeez man, you're one of my comedy improv partners. you'll be difficult to replace.

Oh, well, auditions will commence. The casting couch is open as well.

jonmc, if we can turn it into a paycheck, I'm all yours all the time (metaphorically speaking, of couse!). And I haven't checked my lottery ticket yet so keep your fingers crossed that I just retired.

ThePinkSuperhero, yep, Thong Battle. You are forewarned though. Its like graphic crack (literally, I guess!)

in a just world, fenriq, you , me, the Wino & Hugh would be making blimploads of money writing sitcoms or humor columns or jokebooks or some such newfangled nonsense. But this is not a just world.

Hey, whats the deal with airline peanuts? I mean, I like salt, but really....

Well Fenriq, good luck, I should probably do the same, but ha ha... I admire your fortitude.

Oh yes, how I identify. I recently bookmarked an AskMe link about how to stop procrastinating, but haven't got round to reading it yet ...

absence does make room for fondness to grow

rarity adds preciousness

and i advocate moderation to those who can
because it lets you really appreciate a thing

altered states are useless when it's the usual and not an alteration

safetyfork, and some portion of the evenings when my little boy isn't trying to teach my keyboard a new lesson in toddler discipline.

me3dia and essexjan, so I don't need the book, just the flowchart? I've got that!

I'll miss you, fenriq. Good luck.
