This week, with two long and involved papers looming over me and two more essay exams approaching on the horizon, my brain’s top-level personalities held a conference and decided that now would be a good time for some intensive worldbuilding.
 
So in between assessing the statistical representations of blog register, reading articles on the Roma, giving a Powerpoint presentation on paternal investment, and trying to find something in the medical journals that would help me with my twins paper, I am poring over astronomy books, figuring out moon densities, constructing animals with the help of some biology-related websites, and working out color symbolism for a particular culture’s jewelry. The things I should be doing are not fun; the things I don’t need to be doing are very much so.  And yet, they seem remarkably similar in terms of effort if you’re a layman.
 
Mark Twain said it best.  “Work consists of whatever a body is obliged to do, and play consists of whatever a body is not obliged to do.” And as I’m not obliged to whip out my calculator and work on orbital periods, I’m all over them.
 
Party on.

I have taken to doing homework over at the Consort's house, because I do not have the urge to clean *his* house while desperately trying to not read my law homework, and there is nothing else to distract me because all the good books are over at my place.

"All work and no play..."

Ok, I'll stop with the horror movie references.

You're uh... not helping my situation either. Except my brain moreso rolls over and surfs the net more than it should.

Great, you've made me desperately want to listen to "Hakuna Matata", so I looked it up on YouTube, and versions in all kinds of language came up and now I'm going to have to listen to each and everyone of them... Damn you! I have work to do, too!

On the bright side, I now know that "philosophy" sounds the same in Norwegian as it does in English and French. Yay!
