Are you pro or con crastination?

[urbpan]

Currently experiencing the worst bout of procrastination / writer's block I've had in years. You will notice I am posting lots of things today, that is to avoid writing and recording my podcast, which is already 3 days late. Assisting in my efforts to procrastinate is the joyous fact that

WE ARE APPROVED TO HAVE CHICKENS!

So I spent much of last weekend teaching myself how to use a miter saw and using it to cut lots of thirty degree angles on lots of pieces of wood, and (with Alexis kind and necessary assistance) assembling them all into a chicken tractor. The plans seem to have omitted 6 crucial boards which I will pick up today and strap to the roof of my car, and depending how hardcore my procrastinatory industriousness is, assemble them into the sides of the tractor.

Anyway. Enjoy today's spamming or not, and hey, do you know where we could get 4 or fewer laying hens?

Umm, I think you could easily spread out a lot of the information over several podcasts. I found it a bit long. Just a bit. All interesting but I guess I am ADHD.

Really? The last one was 13 minutes! I have to listen to my favorite podcasts over several listenings (Nerdist: an hour and change, WTFpod: hour and a half usually). That's good feedback, though, I appreciate it! What are you doing when you are listening (dishes, driving, just listening, etc) ?

I have wonky head phones so I have to sit right in front of the computer. I am not very tech savvy. That was my first. *blush* Also I am at home so I have continous "jobs" all around me. But mostly I think it is because I have attention problems. I like my information in small bits.

I am a visual person. It drives some people crazy. I can go happily without speaking to anyone for several days and I never sit for more than a half hour (and I like to be drawing or sewing.)

I don't think I listened to the last one. What about breaking up segments with a bit of incidental music. Nothing fancy, even just three notes or whatever. But perhaps I am suggesting a whole new market, Urban Nature for "the brain damaged listener", :P

I went and listened to it again. It was the one about Hummingbird Moths, wormseed, animal phobias and the salt gun thing... I think any of those could be a podcast in and of themselves. You do have music! Sorry, but a bit more separation between nuggets would help me and I am like your biggest fan, I am just trying to make light of the fact that I could even imagine my opinion mattered. I still had to get up between two of the segments to go let the cat in. (I know Cotton hates people who let their cats out but she just sits and looks in at me and she is so old...she came to me as a stray...lets say I disagree about cats and the outdoors, they are gypsies, what are you going to do?)
