Stuck.

So I am starting to get the hang of this blogging thing: basically, if you have something else to be doing, ANYTHING at all, that's when you'll feel the urge to blog most. Compelled, Impelled, PROPELLED! It becomes all you can think about. Your fingertips flying over the keys, your heart racing, your pupils dilating. Yes, blogging is the drug of choice for computer-literate lickspittles straddling the Generation X/Y cusp.

So that being said, here is my entry for today. 20 bonus points for today's theme being:

How to Solve a Problem About the Task I Am ACTUALLY Supposed To Be Doing Right Now
(or HTSAPATTIAASTBDRN for short).

So you know how when you're writing a piece of music and everything is going along tickitty-boo? The moody, broody harmonies reflecting the ever-so damaged soul of a tortured musician are practically writing themselves (except not really. I'm writing them. ME. In case future royalty collections are up for dispute...) and then out of nowhere it all takes a horribly bizarre turn and ends up morphing into that really catchy song from "Beauty and The Beast"? And you're like, "what the fuck? did that just come out of me?" and then you get worried because maybe a blue bird is about to follow. And some woodland nymphs. And a singing mouse. [Note: singing mice are the harbingers of death to a music career. Next stop: pet food jingles. On RADIO].

So yeah, that's happened to you, right? Great. What do I do about it? What makes Belle stop singing: "Newwwww and a bit a-larming, who'd have ev-er thought that this could beeeeeee, truuuuue that he's no prince charm-ing, but she won't dis-co-ver that its him! 'till chap-ter threeeeee!"

Ahhhhh!! MAKE IT STOP!!!


Things I Have Already Tried:

1. a walk
2. eating swiss chard
3. yelling at the squirrels who live in my roof and feast on our electrical cables
4. reading the superficial.com (can you BELIEVE that Heidi and Spencer are still the word's biggest douche bags? Yeah, me too. But Ashton Kutcher sure gave them a run for their money....)
5. watching "Beauty and the Bea-" oh shit! Damn you Alan Menken and your conformist Disney melodies!

Any offers to buy me beer suggestions would be much appreciated.
