iTunes and TV Tropes

These are the two things that, arguably, featured most prominently in my day. Also I couldn't think of a better day. But that first one is my excuse. If worst comes to worst (i.e., getting copped out for not being creative with my titles), I can always blame society. Damn them.

I woke up around 8, and it took me 2 or so hours before I actually started doing stuff. This is my serial problem: procrastination. It gets way worse when I'm sick, because I have little energy. Usually, I surf the net when I procrastinate. When I'm feeling really unwell, I can't do that. Ah well. When I actually did start doing stuff, it was watching TV and doing some work on and off. Around 12, I started blogging. Which, in classic holiday-style, started off slow and proceeded at a snail's pace. It's true what they say: deadlines make everything go quicker. Nobody likes them, but everybody needs them. But, I digress. I then blogged and watched my brother play Xbox for a while.

Around 2, Mum, EJ and I all went to Casula Shops, and especially, K-mart. We were shopping around for books and music and such, on a 'why-not' impulse. I looked around for books, but I couldn't find good books. And I don't buy albums, not when I can get them off iTunes (I don't pirate). And so, to that end, I got myself a $30 iTunes voucher for my iPod. My brother got $50 worth of books, and he was planning to get another $50 game. But the store didn't have it. Ah well. We got home around 3:30, and for the rest of the night, I blogged, but mostly surfed the net. Specifically, I had a look at TV Tropes. I'm not entirely sure how I got on to the website, but I did. And it's completely true what xkcd says about it (as it always is): it's addictive. Same with Wikipedia. But, I'm off-topic. TV Tropes is insightful, clever, very hyperlink-prone, and has a lot of good pictures. Here's one of them (that's not the TV Tropes website, although it is the picture. My laptop is annoyed with TV Tropes for some reason). And that was my day.

To comments now, three from one, two or three people. It's sorta hard to tell. Really, I'm not sure.
*Anon: I've told him about the game, and he now really wants it. I actually think that Rome looks like a good game, but I get bored of RTS games pretty easily.
*Anon: I have no idea who you are. Seriously, I don't know, especially with the next comment.
*Victor: If you're not, you're not... then who is? And thanks for the 'I rarely even check your blog these days.' (That was sarcastic by the way.) Eh, who cares, it's my blog. The people might be here for it, but it's not here for the people. Of course that implies a lot of people look at it... OK, I'm way off topic here.

And that was my Thursday. Sorry again for the short-ish post. Tomorrow, I think, I will do a philosophical-type post; a post on how complex the world is, and how we don't even really notice. So, that will hopefully be good.

I am really running out of titles,
