Didn't accomplish much today
Sun Jul 11, 2010 5:15:34 am


I had been pretty good at avoiding procrastination on the latest project until today. I spent the last three days working very intensely on it, and I spent a lot of time working on it prior to the visit from my relatives. I had planned to spend the whole day working on it today, but I just couldn't. There was too much psychological resistance. In total, I probably spent less than 2 hours on it today, although I spent all day in front of the computer with all the project files open. I took many long breaks. Less than the usual amount of that was on the internet, because there is much less activity online on Saturdays.

I have been watching a lot of Chinese Paladin season 3. The main character's name coincidentally is the same as my father's real name. He has two names for some reason that has never been fully explained to me. I suspect that his legal name is a fake one used in his escape from China. My mother and grandmother always called him by this name, which is totally different from the one that he used on legal documents.

Are they showing a miniseries about him?

Have you seen the Mythbusters episodes about splitting an arrow?

Procrastination techniques are very relevant.

This seems like an impractical way to hold a bow.

It's for shooting the giant standing behind you.

So you're saying he makes you quiver and you want to nock him?

I had to teach. I didn't get any work done on the diamond site today.
