A revelation...?

I have discovered that staring blanking at my computer screen and my stack of readings for my last paper will not magically make notes on the latter appear on the former. Unfortunately, I haven't got much beyond the "blank staring" phase for a while. Which means that I should get away from my room for a while, get dinner, read something completely unrelated (I've got about 70 of that scifi book left), and come back (hopefully) refreshed. If not, at least I'll be less hungry during my next stint of blank staring.
