Laziness

Anyone who knows me knows that, at heart, I'm an extremely lazy person. This is a good quality for a mathematician. It makes you more creative. Or at least, it better . . .

On the one hand, this has been an extremely productive week. I'm impressed with it. After sitting on an annoying little problem for a week, it's working itself out. (A math problem, not a life one.)

On the other, I've discovered a TV show that's calling me from my apartment, and telling me that I should go home early today. The tex-ing will get done, it tells me. But you want to watch a young Hugh Laurie some more, right?

And my brain answers, Damn right I do! And then it says, But no, no! I have this solution. I wanna get it down. And so I compromise by writing a blog entry.

I've started watching House ever since my new roommate moved in. She had some friends over, and I was hanging out with them. There was just so much French in the air that my brain started shutting down a little. She probably thought I was bored, so next thing I know one of her friends is showing me how to watch episodes of House while I'm in France. I never used to watch it back home, but it's just so easy . . . it's a weekly thing, now.

And then I discovered that Laurie is British. I wish I could do with my French accent what he does with his American one . . . Anyway, that's why it's a young Hugh Laurie I'm watching. The one in House isn't, very.

Ok. Procrastination is over, now. If I can just finish this bit of math writing, I'll go home. Yay!
