I have done nothing today.

Well, that's a slight exaggeration. I did finally manage to get my new phone activated, which I've been putting off for weeks. And I tried to get my parking ticket resolved/beg off a replacement parking sticker, except that the security office was completely empty. At 3:30 p.m. Despite clearly posted notices indicating that the security office was open from 10:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.. "Open" does me no good if there isn't anyone there, campusfolk.

But other than that, I have pretty much spent the day reading TV Tropes (why do I keep going back to that site when I know I'll waste hours on it, why why why) and not doing laundry, which means I literally have two pairs of underwear left. Laundry tomorrow is a rather imperative thing.

Oh, and I've been listening to ELO's "Don't Bring Me Down" on repeat. Couldn't for the life of me tell you why.

I suppose I did some writing, too? Not much, though, on account of my being busy reading TV Tropes. I've come to the conclusion, however, that I'm hitting some sort of ficcish puberty, which is awkward because I'm pretty sure that's already supposed to have happened.

Today has been so lazy, and such a waste, and really I should go to bed since it's not like I'm doing anything useful with myself. And there's about four different projects I'm procrastinating on, too, though to be fair most of them aren't due until next week. But still.

Feeling a bit like a zombie, honestly.

OH GOD TV TROPES.

I spent the summer on dial-up, and things with lots of images took forever to load. TV Tropes is mostly text. I spent waaaaaay more of my summer there than I intended. I even ended up troping Upstairs Downstairs of all things.

My mum, sisters, and I were watching it marathon-style anyways; looking back at my trope page reminds me that we still aren't finished with WWI. There's gonna be more deaths, nooo.

I don't even contribute anything. I just reread it. I have no pretense whatsoever at productivity while I'm in that thing. Aaaaah.

You've been watching "Love & Monsters" maybe? ;D

The whole reason I was on TV Tropes in the first place, actually, was to try to figure out if that song had been used in "Love and Monsters", because I remembered that there was an entry in "Nightmare Fuel" on it. One of the tropers couldn't listen to "Don't Bring Me Down" OR "Mr. Blue Sky" for weeks after seeing the episode, "not because they accompanied anything disturbing, but because they were in the episode. That's how bad it was."

...why do I remember the exact quote? D:
