It's like The Langoliers

It's like The Langoliers

Have you ever had one of those days where you're waiting for the world to catch up to you? I'm waiting on two people to return phone calls. I'm waiting for tomorrow to make another one. I'm waiting for the 14^th so I can finally get a production meeting finished. I'm ready, where you bitches at? Oh that's right: waiting to catch up to me. What do I do in the meantime, you ask? I clean my keyboard and mouse. That's right. I'm that bored. The silver lining? I put on some music I got recently (namely Beck, One Foot in the Grave; The Eels, Beautiful Freak; and The Doves, Lost Souls) and keeping my hands busy kept me from touching that dial, a terrible habit of mine. Whether it's skipping ahead to the next song because I'm not feeling one song's intro or obsessively listening to one track on repeat, I can't not have my hands all over my music playlist (in usually a purely platonic way). I got through two hours of playlist by cleaning my peripherals. Two hours of flipping out little keys and scrubbing with alcohol (of the isopropyl variety) with a cotton swabs (not, I might add, Q-Tips®). This is what happens when you're ahead: you go through minutia like cleaning computer peripherals down to the individual keys and making a distinction between generic and name brand. Ye gods, let tomorrow come!

Beck, One Foot in the Grave (By the way, am I crazy or doesn't the song "Asshole" sound remarkably like an Elliot Smith song?)

The Doves, Lost Souls

The Eels, Beautiful Freak
