Screaming Bean |
Tuesday, June 14, 2005
Procrastination is both a skill and an art. Anyone can merely slack, but to truly procrastinate you need to put some thought into it. For instance, today I mowed the lawn. Now this was a necessary thing to do as well as a diversion, but it was challenging. It's been about 9 or 10 months since I tried my hand at the riding lawn mower, and there's a learning curve I needed to relearn. (Of course this may have used up important brain cells, but I was getting some sun.) I proceeded to do my loopy pattern around the yard, trying to figure out where I'd been, and trying to figure out where to go next. I always end up doing some sort of ever decreasing square/circle/polygon in the yard and leaving myself some part that I need to double back to take care of. Looking at the yard now it looks like a drunken groundsman got a hold of the mower. Perhaps drinking would have helped the process.
