Lazy boy, reclining

Yesterday was one of those days when circumstances conspired with weakness of will to ensure that nothing of note would be accomplished, at least by me. First of all, there is some serious radio-listening to get done. Hey, that lady cop from Law and Order who used to be on Pee-Wee's Playhouse is the guest on Wait, Wait. Then, after a nice, long, hot shower, maybe I'll clean up the house a bit before taking a walk. Oh, but I should have some lunch first. And do the dishes. Oh, now it's raining too hard to go out. Maybe I'll do some work. But first I'll make a list of all the things to accomplish this weekend. No, make that this week, before the solstice do. And make a grocery list. And update some spreadsheets. And catch up on some emails. And organize the shoes.

Man, you would think I was back writing my thesis again.

Anyway, in all my rambling around, I found this on the Internets. From the blurbs, I imagine it is totally lame. I am afraid to look at it for fear that I would be compelled to write a better one.

I would just like to humbly submit my humble vote for doing nothing. A day without accomplishment probably means you got in a lot of good relaxing, eating, Internets surfing and general hobnobbing. All for that as accomplishment in (it)self. Having said that, too much hobnobbing (and paella-eating) on my part today has contributed to it being 11:11 in the p.m. (23:11 to us continental types, but liked the symmetry of digits) and I being sat in front of computer trying to finish various small translations of the annoyingly dinky sort. No progress on TMA (tutor-marked assignment to non-OU folk [Open University to non-OU folk]), but much progress on Sex in the City Season 6 box set, not to mention my suntan.

Incidently, (I am too) frightened to contemplate what you were looking for when (you) found such a sexy tome.

I just re-checked to make sure I hadn't accidentally linked to a porn site... I presume you are being ironic in connecting frightfulness and sexiness to this insipid-looking pamphlet.

Sexy is THE all-purpose adjective in my word. Surely you must have realized by now ...
