Let’s do a little game of compare ‘n’ contrast, shall we?

Films I have watched/re-watched since January 1st, 2007:

• Gattaca
• War Games
• Harry Potter and the Sorceror’s Stone
• The Pledge
• The Gift
• Agnes Browne

… and tonight, with Zima, Nisa and Jason:

• The Curse of the Golden Flower

Books I have read since January 1st, 2007:

• Poppy Z. Brite’s Soul Kitchen

That’s seven films versus one book. Is it any wonder I’m developing a late patch of attention deficit disorder (ADD)? It’s so difficult to focus on any one thing for long. I feel that I have been remiss of even the simplest of my laze-about duties.

• cleaned out that one last paper bag of useless papers, forms and what-nots, a whole month after my insane storming of my bedroom, reorganising each and every drawer and shelf; it just sits there, staring at me, taunting me: “You’re not done yet…”

• gone for any proper yoga classes yet (in order to get my postures corrected by an instructor who doesn’t have to stick to a platform and keep to his/her cues ala BodyBalance).

• returned to the perilous world of dating though I keep telling my friends I’m totally available now.

• spoken to more people about doing some freelance projects.

• written/rewritten a single word of “Only the Greatest Gets to Go” despite ranting about it last week.

Who knew doing nothing took so much time?

Of course, it says a lot about my obsessive-compulsiveness that even while loafing around, I fret about doing something and getting it done. Still. Maybe one day, I’ll write a book called “The Art of Doing Nothing”. It could be a bestseller, only people would have to stop doing nothing to go buy it, so…
