First Essay of the Semester

... and I'm procrastinating so bad. It's not even proper procrastination where I actively look for other things to do (well, aside from posting this) it's more I'll be reading and my mind just wanders off in a different direction. 'As Jean Baudrillard suggests in the case of ... blah object blah subject blah ... Wait, what did that paragraph say?' It probably doesn't help that the article I'm currently reading has the combination of a smaller than usual font size and a lot of dense sentences with many syllable words. The irony of all this is that I had planned to get all this done early but than my computer died and I lost any chance of getting work done between not having my laptop and then trying to fix everything.
It can also just be frustrating that an essay that's only 1,000 words and only worth 10% requires so much work. Then again I personally think I'm terrible at handling short essays. I always read and plan too much and end up having to leave loads out. The joy of editing. I want to be done by Wednesday because I'm not home most of Thursday and I don't want to have to be frantically trying to write on essay on my bday when it's due. I think my main problem is my mind thinking 'hey you've written a heck of a lot more than that in one day'. Which is true, I got 3,000 in a day before, but it doesn't mean I want to have to do it.

I was going to post a .gif but apparently it just stays as a static picture which saddens me. Have some Grover instead. He doesn't get enough love nowadays.

Internal Hard Disk Drive Not Found

My laptop died last week. It's a bit of a mix between how much was backed up and how much I lost but it's basically all fine now, just a pain trying to get everything back the way I want it. Although I guess you can now say that the name Roslin fits better, came back from near death and straight back to work. Mind you that did lead to the election against Gauis and the fun that was New Caprica. And that was before the Cylons arrived.
Please don't turn on me laptop.

I will say this, by the time I'm done making sure everything's back to the way I like it, my laptop is going to be extremely organised.

Anyway, here's some Eddie Izzard on computers and technology.

Sometimes I love really random ads. Just watch.

Repo Man

I totally forgot Ray LaMontagne had just released a new album. I love Ray LaMontagne. I already own his three previous albums and he's one of those artists that I'd buy an album from without having to hear a single track before hand. Here's the opening track 'Repo Man' from the album 'God Willin' & the Creek Don't Rise' by Ray LaMontagne and the Pariah Dogs.
