Doing Nothing is Contagious or The Time Sucking Void

Seriously, I haven't exactly been lighting the world on fire with action the past couple of days. I finished watching the Futurama Season 3 set and have moved onto the Chaplin Volume 2 set. I've also had vast amounts of time sucked away by this stupid computer. It's like I sit down and next thing I know an hour has past... or more! It's all from this damn VCD making... It is like a time vampire or something.... it needs my time or it wastes away to nothing....
I would like to include an excerpt from my essay about "The Man Who Laughs" for the Guy Maddin class for you to examine.
"He works as a circus clown whose sole purpose is to elicit laughter from riotous, drunken mud-lingering peasants. When shown delivering a riveting performance of standing in one spot and pointing at things, the audience responds with glee and cackling madness. Clearly he is a comic genius! His skill at pointing and standing remains second to none but it is not enough to make him happy. "
I thought it was pretty clever... but maybe you have to see the movie to think so.
Oh well, back to the nothing-ness.
