I find that email is the best and least damaging form of procrastination
when writing (or rather, trying not to write) essays. Last night was "The
Influence Of Cato The Elder On The Romans Of His Day", and let me tell you,
eating sand is more enjoyable than writing about Cato. Mental activity --
such as thinking up acronyms and Tom Swifties -- is even more preferable.
