procrastination

In the past month that I haven't been applying to jobs, I have instead:
1. played Diablo II (I'm in the middle of an untwinked nightmare run)
2. listened to 5 or 6 podcasts (most of which update multiple times a week) religiously
3. constructed 6 new magic decks, after dismantling the previous 6.
4. read (and commented on) several libertarian blogs concerning the health care reform debate
5. read several depressing blog posts/news stories on the state of the job market and how to get a job in such terrible economic times
6. slept 10 hours a day.

I've been slowly picking through Godel, Escher, Bach, trying to make sure I understand everything before going on. I would like to finish the book soon, so I can read through The Wealth of Nations.

After that: 6 Not So Easy Pieces and then maaaaybe some Rawls. I would need to blog about it though, to keep things clear. Rawls is a HUGE BITCH. Perhaps I should start with Plato first?

One thing that might help is to eliminate any distraction besides writing. Writing a blog is not so different than writing a cover letter. Both are about myself, both have the same concise, but eloquent prose, both are intensely personal without sounding embarrassing or desperate, and both (should) exude honesty, self-confidence, and intelligence.
