Playing computer games when I should be studying
I have lots of things I should be doing. I should be working on my qualifying exam, which is this long paper which has to be researched and all that stuff. I am writing it, but it's pretty slow. Also, I should be constantly designing new experiments, and recruiting subjects, and running in my own experiments. I am doing these things, but it all feels kind of half-assed. What I'm all about is playing with this WWII strategy game I downloaded a couple of months ago. It's really hard to stop, and I've wasted many, many hours playing with it instead of reading/writing/programming. I am supposed to be a grownup doing work, not a kid playing video games. I am completely and hugely an idiot.

Introducing Frederick and Rollo
Frederick: I thought of something a few days ago, that I wanted to write down here.
Rollo: But you've forgotten it?
Frederick: That's right.
Rollo: Why didn't you write it down then, when you thought of it?
Frederick: I was probably falling asleep, or driving.
Rollo: You should have remembered.
Frederick: I know. Then this would be about something.
Rollo: What is this?
Frederick: It's true that it's not nothing. But I know that it's not interesting, and to most people something which isn't interesting may as well be nothing.
Rollo: You could take interest as a measure of the extent to which something exists to a person.
Frederick: That's kind of a truism, isn't it?
Rollo: I guess so.
Frederick: Hm..
Rollo: Yeah.
Frederick: Have you seen the Transformers movie?
Rollo: Right, I can't believe Megatron went down so easy.
Rollo: But you've forgotten it?
Frederick: That's right.
