everything but the girl

Today's Friday Five:

1. What is your biggest waste of time in your home?
Lush bath bombes, for me and the kids. I would say the computer, but I try to do things that are at least informative and interesting or creative, and I don't consider "chatting with friends" to be a waste of time.

2. When at work, what is the activity that you find wastes the most time?
The only thing I get lost in, and find myself un-distractable during, is reviewing trademark search reports. 600 pages, an average of 90 minutes to two hours, and I find them bizarrely fun.

3. When getting busy with a date or significant other, what ritual could you do without?
Not actually sure what this means. Um, getting the kids to go to sleep first?

4. What is your biggest waste of time on the Internet?
PunditKitchen.com

5. What do you do at a restaurant to waste time when waiting for your meal?
If I am dining solo, I tend to read LJ or other websites on my iphone. On airplanes, though, I tend to watch videos on my ipod. My first-gen-of-video-ipods is dying, alas. Maybe I'll get a new one for my birthday. Off to drop a hint to the spouse, who got me my first ipod for my birthday back in 2004. That one is still working, although not particularly well. It's become the kitchen ipod, stocked with music for the kids to listen to during dinner or for me to cook to.
