This evening in procrastination

Tonight I stayed late at work in the hope of getting some writing done. Instead, and among other things, I:
  • Anxiously talked to a coworker with a wicked, hacking cough while thoughts of germs and of the imminent arrival of my own symptoms impaired my ability to listen.
  • Considered homoeroticism between Ygor and the Monster in Son of Frankenstein (1939) and how it develops and deepens in The Ghost of Frankenstein (1942).
  • Took the Munsell Hue Test (courtesy of Shandon) repeatedly, getting worse each time and wondering if I could be suffering hysterical colorblindness.
  • Fantasized about the crossword puzzle I would work later this evening. (I mean really work.)
  • Leafed through one of the Office Manager's books, Working with a Transsexual: A Guide for Coworkers. Realizing I share the name of one of the book's subjects, I hope Norman's "transition" went well.
  • Engaged in lofty talk of personal entropy and then looked up the word "entropy."
  • And finally, with the other Norman's courage as my inspiration, vowed to do better tomorrow.
