(1:45 PM) | Adam Kotsko:
Procrastination Carried to its Logical Extreme
As I attempt, haltingly, to write my paper for SBL this year, my desire to procrastinate has reached such a fever pitch that I have now officially caught up on all the episodes of Prison Break season 3, which our DVR recorded out of habit. There is apparently a two-hour special tomorrow, at which time the intrepid Michael Scofield will most likely break out of prison for the second time. I must say, I don't have much of an emotional investment now that Sarah Tancredi has been unceremoniously offed -- though I am holding out some hope that the show is comic book-like enough that it will somehow turn out that it wasn't her head in the box.I have not yet reached the level of procrastination seen on a recent episode of The Simpsons, where Marge was seen to be replacing the filaments in all their burnt-out lightbulbs ("Your father, the millionaire, was just going to throw them away!"), but I'm close.
