Fridays are always like this

elabyAs I finished reading LJ and checking other procrastinatory things, I said to myself "I guess I'll work on revising my ethnography now." *digs in jacket pocket for keys* *finds keys* *stares at empty flash drive holder* Orrrr not.
Today is one of those days, especially at around 10:00 this morning, when the air quality is such that everything looks hyper-real. The grass is practically fluorescent green. The sky is bright, deep blue, unbroken by clouds. The sunlight is so clear that the beginnings of leaves are almost yellow on top and black in the shadows. You can see it all so clearly that it makes me want to TOUCH everything - the trees and the grass and the rocks and the road.
I've been looking around for summer job options. YAY. -_-
I suppose I should do something productive with my time this afternoon. Maybe I'll make an outline for my Detective Fiction paper, or finish Njal's Saga. I just slogged through a dozen chapters that consisted only of people finding ways to invalidate their opponant's claims in court. In between each one of those were paragraphs that chronicled people's procedure in calling witnesses, laying out accusations, and other law-type things. That consisted of someone repeated their speech about four times for each time they made a slight adjustment to their claim.
ARG.
And okay, WTF is up with this update page? I'm on the main LJ site, updating from there and not from a client, and it appears that my text window keeps expanding. So my text gets shifted around every couple of seconds and I have to scroll from side to side in order to see all that I've written. O.o
Fridays are not motivated days.
[edit: Oh yeaaaaah! I should have remembered that the wonderful![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
redatt and anonymous_greg already solved my problem for me. I should go download the new Firefox for this laptop now.]
