Is there a word for... [More:]
that state that's not quite writer's block, but is almost as unproductive? When pulling the words out of your brain is like swimming through wet cement? When any passing shiny object easily distracts you from your task, even if leaving the task uncompleted will lead to unemployment or at least a very very late night at the computer? 'Cause I've got it.

I think it's called "spring fever."

I try to romanticize it to "ennui."

Senioritis.

Hey, who're you calling a senior, bub? Not that there's anything wrong with that, of course. Now get off my lawn!

Hungover spring fever combined with Friday afternoon ennui. Yep, it's lethal.

The malaise of genius?

The details of my life are quite inconsequential... very well, where do I begin? My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a fifteen year old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet. My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. My childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When I was insolent I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds- pretty standard really. At the age of twelve I received my first scribe. At the age of fourteen a Zoroastrian named Vilma ritualistically shaved my testicles. There really is nothing like a shorn scrotum... it's breathtaking- I highly suggest you try it.
