Otium Est Pulvinar Diaboli or I Don’t Want to Be a Pillow. Not Even a Fluffy One.

There are a few things a State of Lethargia can cause. 
 
There is of course lots and lots of lethargia.  Once you’ve been sucked  down into the Eddy of Boredom everything you do will become boring.  You’ll move slower and slower.  And then finally you resemble a potted plant.  Or maybe an unpotted plant.  Any plant will do really.  Except maybe a venus trap or something because they actually move and do something.  Of course other plants al so do something, such as getting nutrients out of the water/soil/sunlight/whatever.  But then again, I breathe/eat/drink/… and it’s not like we consider that as being particularly active.  “Oh my, had the busiest day today!  All that breathing!  Pfff.  Where’s my sofa?”  Indeed.  No.
 
Then there’s the Descend Into Madness of the Brain.  Where you’ll start thinking the silliest things.  Like: Yes! Finally managed to use the word eddy in a sentence.  Teehee.  Eddy.  Really?  Eddy.  Teeheehee.  Eddyeddyeddyeddy.  At which point probably start laughing out loud and have people stare at me.  Their faces painted with a big, shiny WTF?  Might attempt to explain about eddies, but that would probably make things a lot worse.
 
And finally there is the Google Routine.  Every time someone says something that has the possibility of being remotely interesting, you open the browser window and do a Google.  At least we learned something.  Yay!  Or not. 
 
Apart from that there’s the Almost Fall Asleep Where You Sit, but that can happen at any time.  Or better:  at any time in the afternoon.  Am very susceptible to the After Lunch Dip.  And there’s nothing coffee can do about that.  In fact coffee can make it worse.  Also, should not drink too much coffee because that makes me feel weird.  Can safely have up to four cups a day.  More will leave me shaking, wobbly kneed and in a state of overall weirdness. 
 
Back to eddies then.  Swirleeswirlswirlswirlswirl. 
 
Anywayz.
 
Since it seems impossible to produce something incredibly smart and witty on a weekly basis for more than a few months at most, I was wondering whether I should turn this into a part time crafting blog.  There would be the Occasional Display of my Supreme Niftiness.  And then there would be more Displays of My Supreme Niftiness but then in the form of Yarny Stuffs I made.  There would be pics.  Imagine that.  Pics!  Of course that means I have to upload stuff and I might be too lazy to do that.  Lethargia ftl.  We’ll see.
Guess that’s all for now.  Gherkin out.
