go to the window

6:29 PM. Outside:

tick tock tick tock

things i am doing instead of working to meet my deadline (today, preferably before 4):

• testing out the reggaeton/lucio battisti/rino gaetano/old school latino/pino daniele/musica andina-infused mix CDs I am burning for my parents; giggling over the fact that I'm including "My Humps" and "Dragostea din tei" on the playlist.
• Switching off the Snooze button on my cell phone alarm every ten minutes
• wondering who "Noodle" is
• dozing
• looking at Heifer's little white feet
• IMing
• congratulating myself on thinking up the one clever line to be used in the review I am supposed to be writing
• reminiscing about the lovely cold glass of vanilla soy milk I had this morning. Ah, those were the five minutes.

get to work, slacker ...
