It's Not Wasting Time, It's Part of the Process.

I'm writing my speech for tomorrow, and after sitting at my computer watching the Ricky Gervais podcasts and completing a websudoku, I've decided to reward myself with some blogging.

I decided not to play poker tonight because I have so much to get done before I leave for Saskatoon tomorrow. I've been asked to be the guest speaker at graduation at my old school and couldn't say no.

I was thinking that if I just sit here long enough, my speech will get written. I'm not sure how, but it's sure to happen if I just sit in this Ikea chair long enough.

Before I leave I have to:

-do the dishes.
-vacuum the apartment
-tidy up a little
-finish my laundry
-clean the cat litter
-take out the recycling
-take out the composting
-find my Best Western $50 gift card.
-find the two thank you iTunes gift cards
-pack
-4 pairs of boxers,
-2 pairs white socks,
-2 pairs black socks,
-1 pair of khaki pants,
-1 pair of grey flannels,
-3 undershirts either white or just regular t-shirts,
-3 collared shirts,
-1 sports jacket,
-1 tie to match sportsjacket and collared shirts,
-1 toothbrush,
-1 razor,
-1 can Aveeno sensitive skin shaving cream,
-1 stick of Arm and Hammer anti-perspirant with shockingly high aluminum content,
-1 pair Rod Lavers,
-1 pair shiny brown shoes,
-1 book entitled "Race Against Time,"
-1 book entitled "American Splendour: Our Movie Year,"
-1 online booking flight reservation printout,
-1 online booking hotel reservation printout,
-1 online booking car reservation printout,
-1 $50 Best Western gift card,
-2 $20 iTunes Gift Cards,
-1 iPod fully charged,
-1 iTrip and car charger,
-1 guest speaker graduation speech (incomplete).

Before grad I have to:

-buy two thank you cards complete and fill with iTunes gift cards,
-get a haircut,
-buy thank you bottle of wine,
-buy shoelaces.

My flight leaves at 8:25am which mean that I have to get to the airport by 7:25am which means that I have to leave my house by 6:15am so that I can catch the subway out to Keele and then catch a bus from Keele Station to Terminal 1. Since I usually go to sleep at 3:00 am, that means that with none of above work finished, I had better end this blog now and do some of it before I procrastinate my way of sleep tonight. That's the way all this work gets done; I eventually get to the point where pissing time away interferes with sleep and then the work suddenly, almost magically, gets completed with shocking efficiency.

Be back on Monday.
