Newest Internet Addictions--

The cool thing about the Internet is all the great information you can find, but it is amazing how much time gets sucked down the tube while searching for it.

When I sit down at the computer and start to write, or design, or what have you, the first thing I must do is check my email--just briefly, of course. Twenty minutes later, I have to check up on the latest headlines on Yahoo or CNN. Then if I still feel like procrastinating, I buzz on over to social networking sites, like Facebook and Goodreads. After I'm satisfied that I'm up on all my friend's current witticisms and newest photos of people I mostly don't know, I'll fire up my project. While it's loading (my computer is very slow), I have a few moments to take a quick look to see which corporation is up to no good at The Consumerist. Then I can start working.

But sometimes inspiration just doesn't turn on just like that, so I'll spin over to Fark or Digg or Buzzfeed or one of those delicious goodies full of quirky stories

And I wonder why I can never get anything done!
