Procrastination by John Kelly: see it



The original here : Procrastination on Vimeo

My favourite animated video.
Because this is what I do for fun : make tea.
Pretend that I have nothing more important to do than look for the right blue pen.
Manually refill the ink in my fountain pen. Eat ( mostly when I'm not hungry).
Watch series I don't really like ( yes 30 Rock, I am talking about you).
Make Milo.
Tell myself I could do with three showers a day.
Then take a reeeally long shower to reward myself for "studying hard".
Read blogs. Then pretend I understood them.
Read people.com
Lie on my bed.

By the way : I hate toilets. I hate that they are not soundproof.  Not that my digestive system provides much auditory enjoyment to an audience or (w)reeks havoc in your nasal cavities, but the fact that I cannot control the sound of indigestibles and fluids hitting water offends me. Nothing comes out the same way it comes in. I even remember when I was in grade 1, I pooped out worms. That has probably been the most interesting thing to come out of my anus and even that is a story I don't share in company.

I want it  to be a silent process. I want to keep the illusion of being a lady. I don't fart. I don't poop. I don't pee. Diarrhoea ? What is that?! 

I don't have a nervous bowel or constipation or am prone to loud farts, but I do feel that all that comes out of my body, be it the snot in my nose, the sleep in my eyes, the puss in that pimple or the remnants of food in my colon, should be gotten rid of in the privacy that a soundless room. Otherwise I get stage fright and can't perform.
