Procrastination... I love it so.
It's almost half past midnight here, and I'm staring at my computer screen with dazed eyes. My essay is due in just under 12 hours and I still haven't finished it. I stupidly got Mario kart for my DS yesterday so I'm picking it up every half hour or so and racing away. And now I'm writing a random thread on Layo, and after that I'm going to go look up procrastination on wikipedia... ohh the irony *facepalms*.
So tell me folks, whats your biggest vice when there's work to do?
Ohh, and if anyone could give me roughly 800 words to finish off my essay I'd appreciate it ;) .

Perhaps procrastination isn't so bad after all. In my quest to not do my work I've descovered something that has restored my faith in humanity and is made of pure win.
Behold! Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon... arranged for the NES!

Snooze alarm.

DOSbox Abandonware retro games are my procrastination. Easy to multitask on the work computer when they only need like, 256k of RAM to run and can be easily minimized. Extra bonus if they're turn-based.
Playing classic Might and Magic is risky though... hit the pause button and the transaction begins with the "surprised badger" sound. Luckily we have display model iPads, so I can pretend to "showcase" them... heheheh. Here. let me show you Plants vs. Zombies....

as soon as I know I have to finish something or someone has a problem I have to fix or the SO is waving a dust rag/dish rag at me expectantly...
...I get a song idea. Every time. It's not procrastination - it's ART!
