Procrastinating

Finally finished my Project Proposal and sent it off… I don’t think it makes a lot of sense, but because I’m doing a pre-negotiated, non-traditional project (a short film rather than a 5000 word essay) it’s difficult to fit it to their specifications… The most important thing was tying it down and giving some theoretical justifications, which I ended up doing with the concept of flânerie, an idea I’ve been obsessed with since discovering it in first year uni… I’m slightly worried that the rather traditional International Studies faculty won’t take so well to the idea, but given I’ve already had the film idea approved, I figured I might as well go all out…
Anyway, during the few days I was supposed to be writing the thing, I procrastinated by doing the following: (though hey, I managed to put this post off until _after_ finishing, so I did exercise _some_ self-control)
- make more coffees than is healthy
- go out for coffee with other Aussies; end up spending hours sitting around as no-one wanted to go home and do work
- do the washing
- have a random bath at 3 in the arvo
- catch up on the blogs I haven’t read in a couple weeks
- read through webcomics archives
- watch weird old black and white movies
- read up on XML microformats
- plan to implement XML microformats on this site
- plan new improved user interface to the old Reports system I wrote for Redfield
- make plans for return to Australia (a big deal really, as I hadn’t even thought about it till very recently!)
