academic flylady
Jan. 23rd, 2005 11:49 pmSo maybe 15 minutes for writing the paper and 15 minutes for doing my proposal was over-ambitious. Added up, that is 30 minutes, after all, and it was evidently too overwhelming for me even to start on.
I have now tried another method of getting myself motivated. As my housework is strangely blooming (or whatever housework does), due to being nagged by the Flylady Stepford emails and due to being used as a procrastination tool, I thought I could try adapting the Flylady methods to my academic work.

Today I saw the DVD of Harry Potter and Azkaban with t'younger son and everyone who said this was right: it is much better than nr.1 film! (I never even bothered to see nr.2.) It is actually quite a zippy children's adventure film, and has some nice magic in it. And there are adolescents to ogle! I was very taken with the guy who plays Draco and with the skinny black trousers they make him wear -- the scene in the snow is very scrumptious. There are also some lovely boys who are friends of Harry's, who knows what they are called. I'm not writing, though, and am reading so very, very little. Still, I fantasise!
Thanks to all you kind people who tigged so nicely. It's an odd thing: I never encounter this mean bitchiness that drives some LJ-users to rants and defriendings. Most of the people whom I encounter create a lovely, safe, supportive environment.
Speaking of whom: Is You-Know-Who a proper noun? If it is, then I can excuse such film sentences as Yes, I've heard of You-Know-Who. If, however, that is not a proper noun, such object-constructions should, of course, always be You-Know-Whom.
