In Continuum.

This is what went on in my head during the process of procrastination today.

Oh, it's eleven thirty already, I have to wake myself up, I have to. I cannot sleep so much again, I really shouldn't sleep till one o'clock like that other day when I had an insomnia. I have to start working again, start studying again, go through all the chapters again. OK, we have two modules to study for in this finals, it's not too bad right? It's better than most people out there, good that Bob doesn't see the need for a finals paper for the public speaking module. So that's one down, I have one down, but I still have two more to go. Why am I stuck with the two that I despise the most, OK I have to start with that one today - start with it now. But I am hungry, I am still sleepy, I should take a shower first. A shower will wake me up, that sounds like a good plan, an excellent plan. I should take a good long shower in the morning before I start to do my work. Besides, it is a hot day right now, a really hot morning. Whatever happened to those rainy days anyway, I'm beginning to hate the weather as well. This is no weather to study at all, perhaps I need to turn on the air-conditioning before I start to study. OK, I will do that right now and let the room cool down while I go take a good long shower. That sounds like a plan, I am going to do that now.

Oh, that felt good, I am all refreshed! OK, let's take on the challenges of today, I shall take on them one by one and finish chapters after chapters! Yes, this is how you start a day, refreshed and energized! I should write a book on it, or maybe I should just post a Twitter message to save time. Yes, I should do that right now, turning on my iMac right now. I will do the studying later though, I will do it after I post this quick one, it shouldn't take long. There is a beauty in the fact that Twitter only allows 140 characters anyway, so you don't dwell on the website for too long. Yes, I shall do that and then I will start studying, It's not even noon yet anyway, I have a lot of time. Oh, a new Harry Potter trailer, it actually looks pretty good if I do say so myself. Let's go to other websites to watch more trailers. Wait, before that, I need to visit the forums again, see if there are new movies posted in the battle threads. The Pianist lost in the Battle of the Oscar Losers thread to Traffic! Well I haven't seen Traffic, but it must be pretty damn good. I should take note, maybe I should rent it next time. Oh, Tornado's concert tickets are pretty awesome. Wow, that's a lot of concerts. Maybe I should post my Rachael Yamagata ones too, or maybe my Coldplay ones. Damn, I should do it right now... but I am hungry. Damn.

OK, I will do that after my lunch. But wait, I haven't eaten my breakfast yet, so I suppose it will be called my brunch. But that's good, because a brunch is two meals in one! I am saving time, I will use the saved up time to study, to study, and to study some more. Yes, I will wait for the brunch to be prepared, and in the meantime surf around the internet first. It's not even noon anyway - wait, it's already five minutes past noon. Damn, I am hungry, I cannot possibly study when I have an empty stomach. That is not how I work anyway, I need energy to study. My brain cannot function well when I am hungry, or starving, I just can't. I will start to study after my brunch then, I really should start studying after that. But before that, let's surf around a little bit. Oh, new features in iPhone 3.0 software, that's looking pretty nifty. What is this application called Scribbles, looks like fun. Damn, it's on trial, that sucks. I should try to hack it. Let me go and download Serial Box from Mininova. OK, let's see, I have nine minutes left. Let's do something else in the mean time, let's go to Fail Blog. Wow, this guy is an idiot, he just jumped off a ledge and landed on his face. I have a thing for face-plant videos, this is hilarious. I love stupidity! I love food - damn, I am hungry.

Brunch was great, and now I am energized. Let's start to study now! But wait, I still have that Serial Box download, I really should go check it out. Yes! The download is done! Now I can start to hack this Scribbles application and see what happens. Entering serial number, going through the steps, done! I am a pirate! Yes! OK, maybe I should do the same with Corel's Painter, let's see if I can find the trial for the latest version. Wow, Corel Painter 11, that sounds pretty new, let me try if there is a trial version for Mac. Oh yes, there it is, let me download this monster right here. Oh, nice and fast server, I like that. I should try to find the serial number through Serial Box again, see what happens. Damn, they don't have the serial number for this version, guess I'd just have to hack it through a different backdoor this time. OK, that's it, open this. Click that. Click that. Click that. Find this, and this, delete them. Clear the trash, restart the application, launch. Open. It works! I am a pirate! I feel good about myself, I am good at this thing. OK, let's start studying now, since I feel accomplished at something, I shouldn't lose this momentum. But, isn't it strange to hack into an application and not try to use it? I mean, I've already went through all the trouble. Some a taste of it maybe, just let me try it a little while.

OK, that was confusing, I have no idea how to work this thing, maybe I need a tablet. Maybe I need more than a tablet, but then I suck at drawing. I can't even draw a crocodile properly, what makes me think that I'd do better on a tablet. Maybe I should just throw this into my external hard drive, maybe Neptina can do a better job. No, she will do a better job than me. I should stick to what I do, to study. Yes, I really should start studying at this point, I really don't want to continue confusing myself any longer, like last night when I downloaded Sim City onto my iPod Touch. Oh yes, what happened last night? Yes, my city was knee deep in debt eight years into the game and I failed as the mayor! It was my first game in years, and perhaps I got rusty trying. I should brush up my skills again, I should pull through and learn all there is to learn about this game! Let's start by searching for strategy guides, I wonder if anybody have strategy guides online. This guy has the same problem as me, I can't seem to earn any money as a mayor. This is horrible, maybe I cannot manage a small town, at least I can still manage my studying. Like, managing the time around, changing it a little bit. I will start studying after this, yes, I will.

First off, we need to build the power plant right here, a distance away from the commercial and the industrial area. Yes, okay, now build this long stretch of road to connect the two areas. Now we need water supplies, power cables to connect the areas. Oh, we need pipes underground to connect everything together, then we need an area as landfill. OK, let's build a water tower here to provide water for people here, here and here. OK, I think that'd do, now let's fast forward the time a bit to see if anybody starts to move into my city. Oh, here we go! Little people moving in! OK, now I need to build a school right around this corner, and then a police station right next to it because my virtual advisor thinks that we need one. Yes, we need to build one, and maybe we also need a hospital to take care of the people's health! But, we need more money first, let's build more commercial areas so that we can have money coming in. Before that, let's build more residential area so that there'd be people to work in the commercial areas! That'd work, that'd be perfect. I hope it works this time, I hope I am a good mayor. I should fast forward everything so that I can get my metropolis done in no time. I need to start studying anyway, this will not do. This will not do!

Five thousand dollars in debt and going, I suck at this game. Hell, I suck at all games! I can never play games more advanced than Rolando. This sucks, I feel like smashing something. I used to smash things when I was a kid, when I lost a game. I never got past the first stage in Sonic the Hedgehog, it was just too difficult for me. I hate games, why can't it be a skill that I am decent at? I need to cheer myself up, maybe I should go for a nap first, or drink something that I like. Yeah, maybe I should do that before I start studying, boost my self-esteem up a little bit you know? Maybe that'd work me up, study better, have more motivation to go all the way. That sounds like a plan, sounds like a great plan. I am feeling it now, getting all worked up for myself. I need to do this, and I think I can do it! But let me go wash my face first, and while I am at it I really should clean my electric shaver. Yeah, it's been a while since I did that, I can only imagine the amount of stuff trapped in there. What do you even call those things anyway, residues? I have no idea, but I am going to clean them out in the bathroom anyway, with that little brush at the back and water. I will brush them out first, clean my face, then start to work. It's too hot right now to work anyway.

OK, so everything is cleaned up now, I can start to study! Feeling good, this is good, I can do this. OK, let's download the articles and the notes! Let's download the powerpoint presentations, let's do this thing! OK, I already have this set of notes about Internet Tools. OK, let's go on to the next article and see what we have. Oh, Internet and Politics, that sounds like fun. OK, wait, it's really not that fun, let's go to an easier chapter first. Let's see. This looks fair enough, Internet and Journalism, let's go to that one first. Journalism, definition, accuracy, authority, currency, this is boring as hell. I should go to the next chapter first. Or maybe I should do another module altogether. But I am hungry, maybe I should eat a chocolate bar. OK, I am not really hungry, I just feel like eating something. The pizza I ate yesterday was wonderful, maybe I should order that again. But the amount of cheese, how sinful. Maybe I should stick to studying first, enjoy myself later. I should get a muffin, yeah I should eat a muffin first. And while I am at it, I should watch an episode of The Office again. They ate a whole bunch of cheese puffs in the last episode, how hilarious! Studying can wait, studying can wait till later in the evening. I know I am procrastinating, this is not good. This is not good, I should stop procrastinating and start doing work, start working on something. Maybe another new city in Sim City. But I don't know, I suck as a mayor. Maybe I should take a nap first, I am pretty good at that.
