This must stop

OK, I have officially read everything on the Internet in an effort to avoid working on my proposal (due tomorrow!) for more than five minutes at a time. I even read an article in which Paris Hilton defends Britney Spears's "partying ethics."*

I am so desperately avoiding work that twice this week I have actually...exercised!

Not only that, but to fit the exercise machine in front of the television, I had to move the new coffee table out of the family room, where it was usefully situated next to the old coffee table, into the guest room closet, where its 12 under-the-surface compartments have allowed me to organize our sheets for the first time since we moved here in 2003.

An accomplishment, to be sure, but not what I get paid for.

Shower, then work.

*I think Partying Ethics 101 should be included in every university's mandatory curriculum. I also think the notion deserves its own blog post. I will endeavor to devise the core principles of such an ethical system for your holiday pleasure.

It's about...ettics.

I hope no one was trying to give Britney the high hat!

I heard about Paris defending Spears on Keith Olberman's show on MSNBC. I honestly think the last person you would want defending your partying habits is Paris Hilton. As for the high hat Rob, nope I don't give her that. But given Ms. Spears propensity to drop her kids, you might wanna give them HARD hats.:-)

Update: Nothing new on the Internet in the last few hours. You can all go home now.
