Vegging out

I was lazy these past few days in particular. I had vividly imagined myself studying hard for this week's midterms, but being in the same room with the comp is always a bad idea, as well as merely putting music on.

I usually focus on the music and try tapping out the percussion line, or playing the piano part if there is one, etc. I don't really focus on my work, or when I do it's half-hearted at best, and the music takes priority. I end up focusing all my attention on "that syncopated bass line" or the "flowing melody".

Working beside the computer compunds the situation. I'll open ITunes or download random tracks from certain soundtracks on GH in hopes that I'll find new favourite music. My focus on work is only a 1/4 this time, since if I'm not just reading stuff on GFF, then I'll move on to reading random things that I had wanted to do on my free time (Eg. wiki articles, game reviews, etc.) It quickly escalates into a music sampling session, and a "what game do I want to buy?" reading period.

So my vegging out consists of listening to music, and reading internet miscellany.

It used to include Piano playing, but there are no songs as of now that I want to bother memorizing, and I've neglected practicing since I haven't found any new, complex pieces for months.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
