A productive hour

I find that I am most productive when I am unable to waste time in ways I enjoy; a lack of anything immediate to waste time on leads me into doing useful things.

This is never more true of when my internet decides not to work. Last time it was down, it was a full three days before it was working again, and I very nearly went mad. However, after a late rise, and a leisurely breakfast, I went to Sanity and bought the wonderful Gabriel, released on DVD today, and came home to no internet.

Unperturbed, I sat down and began an assignment that is not due for a full three weeks, and completely re-wrote the mannequin stuff, so that instead of being useless, pretentious bullshit, it is now a coherent, focussed, and in-progress work. Hurrah! I have to say that the way I go is usually a few weeks of remarkable stuff, great ideas and the words to convey them, and then a few weeks of no ability to write anything (assignments included) at all that is any good.

So hopefully this signals the start of the on-cycle, and away we go.

See ya! Blake.

PS - as you no doubt observed, my internet is now working again, after I fiddled with some cables and so on, and now all hope of doing anything much for the remainder of the day is shot to bits.
