Random unrelated thing:

I'm sure someone else here has had a day where you couldn't be bothered to do anything (no motivation to even make something to eat), so what did you do to get out of it? I could force myself to take a walk, of course, but there's nowhere I want to go, nothing I want to do, and the prospect of just wandering aimless in my area appeals even less. Anyone have any other surefire techniques to 'wake up'? Shower? Do handstands?? Roll around on the floor like a panda??? :/

Make fart noises.

If you can do it mouth only, then you can accompany yourself with hand farts and make a little tune.

I usually take a nap.

Those feelings usually go away for me after a good sleep.
 
Shower usually works for me. My body has learned to understand that taking a shower means it needs to act like I'm getting off the bench at a basketball game.

What also helps is to just shut off all distractions and just focus. But you shouldn't do that because it would mean less posting here and that won't do.

Haha. I was going to say that I'm sure step 1 is to get off the internet (or neogaf).

Shower. I can't do anything unshowered. I feel too dirty even if I'm actually clean.

True. I do feel grimy even though I showered last night. It's more of a mental grimy, though.

A shower. If that doesn't work actually nothing will and I will just have to snap out of it. For me it never lasts a day. So if it happens in the morning, it will be gone after the shower or otherwise later that afternoon. If it happens in the evening, I say fuck it and go sleep. It will be gone next day.

I'll try the shower, then. It's so tempting to just go to sleep, but such a waste of a free day. Wish there was an archery field nearby. That would be interesting.

I tried this and it was surprisingly fun. Didn't wake me up but it made the cat look at me in a strange way. Worth it.
 
I've been stuck with the same two paragraphs of my grad school application essay for the last few days. Fucker is due on Tuesday.

I used to be good at writing, but lately I just go completely blank when I try to start. Feels like the Monstars took my ability.
 
Honestly, I find making any attempt to get motivated on a Sunday to be a fool's errand.

Just give in to your most slothful desires and lay around with a pillow on your back and a laptop on your legs and watch Netflix all day.

Starting is the hardest part.

I usually just...don't. I write anything. After a while, either I get inspired to write a start or I write something that I can mold in to a start.

With essays, you always want the first sentence to be an attention-grabber.

I ghost-wrote a good amount of this book based on things my father had always taught me (he was the actual author of the book) and have been looking over essays all my life. If you need help, feel free to ask or send me a PM and I'd be happy to.

I force myself to get some exercise. Them endorphins.

Feels like such a waste, though, and the dreams are always shit. :( (For me anyway.)


lol

Feel free to make a video of yourself doing this. :p

I have had days like that, but I find you usually need some incentive to bring yourself out of it. I don't think there is a surefire way as such.

Yeah. I'm definitely lacking incentive. I've even toyed with the idea of getting some more progress made on my current work project because at least I would be doing something useful. *sigh* Plugging a free day with work feels really depressing.

A line of coke.

Um, I go for a spirited drive. Or do some exercise.

I'll try the shower and walk. And maybe have a diet 'coke'.

No netflix or cable to speak of. :p Passive entertainment seems problematic at this point anyway. I'm not enjoying my layabout Sunday for some reason and I can't sort it out. Maybe the shower will answer me.

So you're a Ranger, then?

Since I practice long-distant weapons and love mountains/forests... I guess I am! :)
 
I just had a fight with my girlfriend :(

Make me laugh real pic gaf so that I'll feel better!

I'm writing my Game of the Year post over in Gaming and I'm opening it with this

Archery is fun. I used to practice with my hunter uncle when I was younger. Was pretty decent for a kid, I think. Actually I was a dead-eye with a hunting rifle in my middle school days.
 
Okay so a guy walks into a dentist's office and walks up to the dentist's and goes "Hey there, I think I'm a moth!"

The dentist is like, "well that sounds like a psychological problem, how come you came into a dentist's office?"

And the guy goes, "Because the light was on!"

Just to back-track a bit.

I did say we should ban H.Protagonist from allowing her to use her avatar, but nooooooooooo, no-one wanted to listen to me then.

People should listen to me more often.
 
So a man walks in to a bar and sees a jar of money on the table. He goes "Hey, bartender, what's with the jar of money?"

The Bartender continues washing the mug he's cleaning and leans in, then goes "It's for a bet that the house holds. No man has ever been able to do it."

The man says "Okay, try me. I won't know until I hear it."

The Bartender sighs and puts down the mug. He points at a small steel barrel behind the bar. "See that? It's full of spicy cider. If you can drink the entire thing, from first drop to last, without putting the barrel down, you win that part."

"That part?" the man says, a little concerned.

"Next," the Bartender says, "is the pit bull in the back. He was raised as an attack dog, the owner fed him gunpowder and eventually died. We can barely go out and feed him. He's got a loose, aching tooth. You have to go remove that tooth."

The man gulped. "And that's it?"

"You wish. There's a 90 year-old woman upstairs, never had sex. Go up there, tell her what you're there for, and if she accepts, you do the deed." The Bartender winced mentally at the thought.

The man scoffed. One, maybe two of those things, that could be possible, but all three? He turned the offer down, but drink after drink, the idea truly could not leave his mind, and eventually started to seem pretty attractive. "ALRIGHT!" he leaped up from the bar screaming. "I'M GONNA DO IT!" He grabbed the barrel of cider and tilted it up, tears running down his face. Pushing it away from his lips, not a single drop fell to the floor.

The bartender gave him the keys to the back door and pantomimed a cross on his chest.

There was howling and screeching for what seemed like hours over the next ten minutes. The man kicked open the door to the bar, threw the key on the counter, bleeding and scratched up. He looked the bartender square in the eye and said "Now where's that old woman with the loose tooth?"

Pft, you guys are just weak. Don't let a pretty girl turn your head clean off!

The smell of coffee.


So, I just got back from some frustration-therapy after I got stood up today: went to see Ghost Protocol, bought a coffee, chatted up the coffee girl, bought a kitten calendar, and picked up the new Black Keys album. Her loss, right?




No seriously, it's her loss. At least tell me if you're not going to make it. She might get a second chance if she wants to reschedule, but we'll see.

I've never understood why men do complete 180s when a pretty girl walks by. There's such a thing called peripheral vision, no?

It's totally her loss and probably your gain.

People that stand up dates like that are generally assholes.

The actual reason for this is men think that women will take notice and will approach us without us having to risk pride by approaching them.

spoiler it does not work

Looking forward to it - your review of SS probably mirrored my feelings most about that game.

Call a friend or two and make a lunch date. When your day involves other people relying on you to get off your ass, you will.

Enjoy it, it's Sunday. There's nothing wrong with a day off.
