Again with the multitasking

I didn't pull this off too well last time I tried it, but we'll try it again. I'm currently:
  • watching "All Quiet on the Western Front"
  • doing Work work
  • listening to Sarah read celebrity dirt out of "The Academy Awards: The Complete Unofficial History"
  • blogging (clearly)

All Quiet is an amazing movie. Dark, terribly sad, still relevant. . . problem being, the version I'm watching is on VHS and unrestored, and while the picture isn't bad the sound is muddy as hell. I should be giving this movie more attention than I am, but too bad so sad. I'm not generally an elitist, but today I'm making an exception.

In entirely unrelated news, I'm a little obsessed with the whole genre of Tower Defence games. right now. (If you don't know what that is, just follow the link. Wikipedia will explain it better than I can. My gateway drug was Desktop TD, which I sucked at. Then I moved on to Vector TD (mastered in short order). Lately it's been Flash Element TD, which I can't beat to save my live. Many an hour has been lost to defending my towers. I could have learned a new language, built a church, or painted a self portrait, instead I've sunk 70,000 some odd hours into killing creeps.

I should add...

... that two people were instrumental in my joining Twitter. First, Isha . She sent out an article on it when the application was still brand new. (And I remember thinking, "Screw that noise. Like I need more online commitments.) Second was Rebecca . She joined up just a short while ago, claiming she hadn't met a bandwidth she didn't like . (And then she disappeared entirely from the internets .) It looked nice and pretty over there on her sidebar, and then I got a little jealous. The rest: history. And for those unobservant among you ( Jorge ), the Twitter feed is right there on my sidebar, replacing the old Radio 3 player that I loved, but that I think scared the bejezus out of a lot of people. Also, everyone should join Twitter. I'm needing some diversions , people.

Change Two: Drink More Water Such a simple thing, yet something I just can't seem to find the time to do. About the only water I drink in your average day is whatever sweat happens to trickle off my mustache. Hydration (so the smart people tell me) is a good thing. I'm less fatigued when I drink water. I'm less hungry when I drink water. I'm even less grumpy when I drink water. I promise you nothing especially impressive. Eight glass a day ain't gonna happen. I'm shooting for two on average; two trendy, metallic, not gonna bleed Bisphenol A into my system bottles of water. I know were off to a rip-roaring start, what with the list-making and the hydration, but I'll try to get crazier with future changes. Stuff like: go to work drunk more, and buy a pair of leather pants. For now, let me ease into it.
