youtube yousucking mylife away

You ever just sit there, in front of your computer, paralyzed by the infinite universe of information that lies at your fingertips? Have you ever been completely and thoroughly frozen, not unlike Buridan's ass, numb with the mouse in your right hand?

Welcome to the window of my daily schedule I like to call 'Ollie Unwinding Time'. During daily UOT, there are only a few requirements; I need to be so full from dinner that the thought of movement makes me ill, I need to jam out to my new music downloads, and I need a blanket, because it's freakin cold downstairs. Once those requirements are met - you might as well kiss goodbye to productivity for the rest of the night. Just lean back and let youtube take you away...

After watching Extras season one and two again, I delved a little deeper into some more British humor, which seems to be growing on me. First was Ed Byrne; a wiry, optically challenged Dublinite who, in my humble opinion, is one of the best on-stage story-telling comedians since Seinfeld. I've graduated to the slightly more underground/riske (pronounced "risk-A", but I'm lacking that pretentious french accent mark on my keyboard). So now I've got Eddie Izzard on my playlist - a cross-dressing limey who goes on drug-fueled rants that digress so dangerously that he often has to ask himself out loud 'where he was going with that'. But what Mr. and Mrs. Izzard does have, is a great amiable and charming aura, letting you forgive his on-stage blunders.

For those of you who aren't very interested in the anthropological history of youtube standup comedy clips, this might not be interesting.

So I suppose next time I can talk about the other part of my life right now. REFINANCING!!

I can talk your ear off with amortization tables, current fixed and adjustable rates, origination points, blah, blah, blah, blah...

PHEW! This was the most energy-consuming UOT I have ever taken part of. I even feel a little inkling of motivation brewing deep down inside of me... Maybe I'll balance my checkbook. Maybe I'll do some cleaning.

I'm just so comfortable under this blanket...
