I'm So Productive

As I sit in my room, laptop perched atop my lap as the title suggests, I am not being productive. I should be writing my edit script, or even scheduling a shoot for a film that is due in two weeks. However pressing these tasks may be, I cannot help but allow certain things to wane my interest in the mandatory. The following nouns and the verbs which accompany them are responsible for my distraction:

1- Stephen King's new novel "Under the Dome": As per usual, I am transfixed by the stories that Mr. King has managed to arrange some letters into words, and these words into sentences that in turn tell several amazing stories in one book. I just wish I could find someone to pay me for reading his books, then reading them wouldn’t be seen as a bad thing.

2- The Soft Pack: One of my new favourite bands. These so-cal rockers are not only putting out great music, but original collections of photos and videos to accompany their tracks. One viewing of their beach performance of the song "Down on Lovin'" will have you too putting your school work aside to delve deeper into the world of The Soft Pack.

3- Tetley Tea: Some people eat when they're bored, some people watch tv. I drink tea, of the Tetley variety. Right now, as I type away, I have a nice steaming cup of tea next to me awaiting my consumption. I don't experiment with tea, I have a brand that I like and that's good enough for me. Tetley offers and perfect balance of real tea leaves mixed with preservatives and chemicals that make for a nice bastardized version of a drink which has been around for a few thousand years. Let’s see how many I'll have today.

4- Making Lists: I'm like John Cusak in High Fidelity. Except I have less vinyl.

Thank you for being a part of my procrastination.
