That which I should have done I did not do

With apologies to Ivan Albright, the artist who painted my favourite painting ever.

Things that have been easier to do since Thursday, rather than writing my first paper as a master's student (it's due in about 10 days):

• Take a 3-hour nap.
• Migrate my iTunes database onto an external hard drive.
• Back up all my hard drives.
• Update my Mac OS to Snow Leopard --- except that the upgrade had to be aborted failed due to a faulty disc (I bought it in Singapore months ago).
• Check out the new North Road Restaurant (very crisp and white), then wine and dine at Medcalf.
• Brave the cold and mud to catch the Guy Fawkes Day fireworks at Ravenscourt Park.
• Watch The Notebook (I heart Rachel McAdams).
  
• Mess around with Instagr.am (see image above).
  
• Figure out which herbs give the best zing to scrambled eggs.
• Cook Irish beef stew and pasta salad with green beans and mushrooms in one evening, hence ensuring I don't have to cook again till next weekend.

I may be coming back to school after 13 years away, but I can still procrastinate with the best of them. (Aren't you proud of me, kk, my dear old friend and partner-in-procrastination?)
