I want to do a stand up comedy show that consists entirely of slagging off other comedians. It would be a lonely life but I feel curmudgeonly enough of late to deal with it. And notoriety would probably even grant me a measure of success before it got around that I wasn't actually funny.
I swear I spent several hours sitting at my computer today and I don't even know what I did. So I left.
I don't know why it is so much easier to work or indeed do anything constructive here in the library than in my bedroom. It is not that there are less distractions actually present, I don't think. I mean, whole internet is right here. It is more the sense of a clearly delineated space for such things. Like I can't concentrate at home because there is too much noise, but all the noise is actually in my head, constructed of obligations, neurosis, and casual inscriptions of habit worn deep on the geography of a place. It is easier to turn the noise off when free of the environment.

Geography isn't a solid thing, it's just us trying to make sense of the world. I want to take a 'physical' globe and draw on new nations. What would you call your own personal nation, LJers?
Am I proctrastinating* EVEN NOW? Yes. But it's productive procrastination so that's ok.
Did you know that as of 1st of April, the Indian government recognises every child's right to a free education? This is probably news to all of the kids slaving away to get their Olympic stadiums built. It is also the worst fucking April fools in the entirety of history. What are the chances of things being better next April? Sometimes I hate you, world.
