5) Pomegranate Tea - I probably drink 2 to 4 cups of this stuff on cold days. It’s perfect for arming yourself with coziness against the encroaching fall weather and also, being sweeter than most other teas, it satisfies my sugar cravings.
4) Blogging - Blogging (with the exception of blogs that actually provide people with a service or advocate an admirable cause) is the ultimate exercise in self-indulgence. They’re presumptuous and egomaniacal, but oh so much fun. There’s nothing like procrastinating by constructing your own self-important world where you can immortalize all those silly things that go on in your head or stand on your soap box to your heart’s content. The best part is pretending that someone, perhaps several someones, out there actually reads this crap, and maybe even cares!
3) Crossword Puzzles - The most intellectually satisfying way of staving off boredom in lecture. Plus, if you position yourself just right, it looks like you’re taking notes. I’m also trying to work my way up to the New York Times puzzle, so I figure I better be able to get through the entire week of puzzles in the SF Chronicle. As of now, I get through about Wednesday or Thursday before it gets too frustrating to even try.
2) lolcatz - Cats do the darndest things. Being turned onto “I can haz cheeseburger” was a revelation in procrastination. It combines my love of silly cat pictures and amusement with purposefully incorrect grammar; I can hardly think of a more entertaining way to squander hours of my time. The squandering has been greatly facilitated by my discovery of the “I can haz cheesburger” facebook app. Good bye productivity!
1) Television - Not having found much time for TV in the past, I never developed a real interest (especially once “Sex and the City” ended), so I’m a late-comer to today’s TV scene. But thanks to a TV-obsessed friend, my once isolated Alec Baldwin-centered love of “30 Rock” (which, courtesy of the internet, I never watched on TV anyway) has spread to several other shows: Reaper, the Office, Pushing Daisies and Doctor Who (which I also don’t watch on an actual television, but I included on this list anyway). Also, having an enormous HDTV (even though I haven’t quite figured out the whole HD thing), someone to watch it with and a DVR certainly helps feed the rapidly growing addiction.

OH SHIT. You've discovered lolcatz, too? Go to www.loltheist.com. It will change your life. In fact, that's going in my post. hahahaha.
p.s. The Office = ftw (For The Win- I do these things for your benefit). And I try and do crosswords in class as well- tho I'm working on the San Jose mercury ones... and they're fucking hard. NYTimes would OWN me. I also couldn't bring myself to put TV as something I'm addicted to... mostly because it's actually a large staple in my life. It's risen above "addiction." I'm glad you've come to the dark side, though!
For the win? What the hell does that mean?
So Tv Girl, have you seen Pushing Daisies? It's so sickeningly sweet. I feel like doing something perverted and depraved after watching it just to counterbalance the sweetness.
For The Win is when something is ridiculously awesome and/or dominates- kind of like it "wins" at life. It's a rather useful phrase when you get used to it.
I downloaded the rest of Episode 2 of Pushing Daisies and will watch it this weekend. With 3 hopefully. I'm still reserving judgment.
