icepixieI was planning to get some work done on my thesis today. And then I discovered Meeblings.
Goodbye, afternoon. Goodbye, evening.
Damn you, Meeblings.
(Also, there is this comic strip. I've had days like this. And I'm very possibly showing this one to my students, because it works for their papers as well.)

Naw, your topic is just so awesome and obviously right for you that you didn't need that approach. :D
