Of course, smonster!
we have four cats. We should have MORE mice for those lazy bastards to chase.
The indoor/outdoor cats DOES kill birds, I suppose...
We use the latest in scientific technology and state-of-the-art weaponry and you, if I understand correctly, poke them with a sharp stick.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Put me in the "what Erin said" camp as well.
As someone who frequently uses both the 5 things rule (mostly for clothes) and the timer, I've found that creating a done! list, rather than a to do list, can also be helpful for me. It lets me focus on what I have accomplished, instead of what I should do, plus gives me a reason to stop working/be in front of the computer for a few minutes between tasks.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I never manage to be in the city for Manhattanhenge, but it's awesome.

That's a good idea, Perkins! Sometimes I do that in my journal; try to focus on the stuff I DID get to, instead of the infinity of crap I didn't.
Sometimes, i surprise myself!

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Also, timers are awesome. Pick one thing (at random, if necessary), set a timer, and work on it for 15 min. or 10 or 5.
Yeah, exactly. The time dash is an incredible tool for productivity.

My cat couldn't manage to kill an ant this morning, so I have no hopes for her killing a mouse if I ever get one. She just kept playing with it--I had to swoop in with the kleenex and smoosh it after urging her for fifteen minutes to kill the damn thing.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, exactly. The time dash is an incredible tool for productivity.
And the DVR is totally its enemy. For me, anyway. Commercial time is a great time to do stuff!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
It`s mildly shocking to me how little time it actually takes to do some of the tasks I loathe.

I am running behind here, people. Oh well. Just waiting on the laundry so I can make up the bed.

For Jessica and other who have thought, "Well, after watching The Apple all other entertainment seems lame" I refer you to some choice 80s Bollywood.
