The Daily Procrastinator

Here at The Daily Procrastinator, we know that those hours between 8:00 and 5:00 can be a real bore. Staring at the stack of papers on your desk or avoiding the list of tasks your manager expects you to accomplish can be stressful, exhausting business. For your benefit, procrastinator, we published a series of tantalizing and time-consuming articles this week. In case you missed any of them, here’s a list of the topics we covered:

Office Life: TallGirl commented on the interesting variety of spam email she receives, as well as her continuing love affair with paper in a world which is supposedly becoming a paperless utopia.

Music: Addressing both ends of the musical spectrum, Juggernaut offered his thoughts about Lamb Of God’s new album, Wrath, while BigRedPoet celebrated the White House’s decision to award Stevie Wonder the Gershwin Award. FlashCap added to this week’s celebration of music with his Sonnet To Sirius and XM Radio.

Obscure Vocabulary: If you can’t use the word “amanuensis” in a sentence, take heart! TallGirl couldn’t use it either, until just the other day. That’s uh-MAN-yoo-EN-sis, by the way.

Sports: Although Terrell Owens’ unemployment was short-lived, it was still the highlight of BigRedPoet’s month.

Medicine and/or PseudoScience: Do nutritional supplements and herbal remedies actually help people avoid getting sick? TallGirl is 97% sure they don’t, but she uses them anyway. Why?

The Daily Procrastinator: Contributing to the Dramatic Reduction of Your Personal Productivity

A Sonnet for Sirius/XM

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee for the info., sports and rock
My antenna can reach, when taking stock
Of the limits of AM/FM waves.
I love that no innane commercials play
And, by doing so, my stations stay locked.
I love thee, Faction, Octane, Sirius Pops,
I love thee, Liquid Metal, long live José!
In my travels, with my children in tow,
I love thee, Kids Place and the Disney Show.
I love thee, Road House, and Classic stations.
Long trips – who cares? I jam to Hair Nation.
With my connection – I now love to go
Sirius/XM: “Best Radio on Radio.”
