Master of procrastination?

eveglassI had a very odd experience tonight: I had no schoolwork to do. Well, of course that's not entirely true, there's always more schoolwork to do. But I'd accomplished everything I set for myself today (to whit: outlined paper #2 and wrote 8 pages, did Friday's Latin exercise, and read some of the readings for next Thursday), and didn't have any real desire to do more. It was very odd, I assure you. But this is the reward I get for doing my work early in the day.
Of course, I needed to fill my time this evening. So I watched an episode of B5 and generally relaxed. And then, as I was in the shower, my muse demanded attention. (She does that, sometimes.) For several days now, I'd been mulling over the "Lay of Ideld," a song that features prominently into our D&D game as the source of our information about the main antagonist. Obviously, the GM didn't write out the song as a song, he just told us what it says and left it at that. Very reasonable of him. However, I am anything but reasonable, and I'll be damned if I'm going to start being reasonable now. As a measure of my bardic ninja skillz, I'd been meaning to write out the song for a while, but the proper tune never came to me. Tonight it came like a flash of lightening. (To quote the movie Hook, "that must hurt.") In the end, I wrote 13 verses. It is now done, and I am quite pleased with the result, if I do say so myself. I'll see the other players' (and GM's) reaction at the next session.
Until then, I think it's time for one more episode of B5, and then bedtime. G'night all.
