Writer's block, an owner's guide: Just a diversion

I told you I was busy. I am impossibly busy. But the “Stumble Upon” plugin for Firefox is really destructive to productive work. Through its evil machinations I have lost a half hour of my life twice in different months to a long, long piece of writing that makes me lol repeatedly. And makes me feel blessed in my marriage (even though it’s written in the long, long English tradition of the innocently foolish narrator). Do you dare? The writing in question is “Things My Girlfriend and I Have Argued About.”

Mil sums up the power of his work to make others procrastinate when he mutters, “I’m off to Germany for a few weeks. Apologies if my absence results in your doing any work.” Well, fine, and I apologise for sharing it with you, but you didn’t have to click on the link, did you.
