How to: fuck the dog

This is not literal of course. 
1. get stuck in a monotonous daydream about cake
2. figure out when and where the next production of Carmen is playing...in the world. Daydream about going to see it.
3. spend a half hour listing (in your mind) why the song you love and have been listening to on repeat gives you boners in your ear.
4. go for a walk to "clear you mind" of things like "what am I going to eat later?" and "what the fuck am I doing with myself?" Walk in two concentric circles. Wind up where you started.
5. create a to-do list of all the things you need to be doing
6. prioritize the to-do list. put "stop fucking the dog" at the top 
7. think about what you'll wear on the plane to Rome next Tuesday. 
8. compose a thank you letter about cake to the last person who gave you cake. decide they'll probably think you are crazy and scratch it out. Decide you are crazy. wonder who else has noticed. 
9. Read the plot line to Dr. Zhivago (even though you've watched it already)
10. Register for school. Notice that you're actually signed-up to be doing a PhD. Decide you'll be a better student From Now On.
11. check the weather in Rome.
12. Notice you have 5 whole hours of work time left. plenty of time to Get Shit Done
13. daydream about napping.
14. notice you are hungry. think about cake. 
15. listen to some italian. learn the verb "to eat"
16. decide tonight you are going to really finally nail handstands. 
17. open the word document. 
18. write one sentence.
19. check the weather in Nova Scotia.
20. think about driving to Mount Rushmore with your brother-in-Law.
21. chew some gum.
22. eat the second half of your breakfast brownie.
23. decide that 3:31 is close enough to 6:00 to call it a day.
24. Leave.

I see the list grew longer and conclude: after posting you have a tendency to add to/remove from/otherwise edit your blogposts. That way supposedly old news become new news again. tricks like that I believe are well-worthy of a mad scientist.
