Things I Can Do in 45 Minutes

I have a meeting in 45 minutes. This is very frustrating to me, because I like to blog without a deadline. Still, I know I can write a blog entry in 45 minutes. Maybe not a brilliant hysterically funny entry. But I can write something just to tide me over until inspiration strikes.

45 minutes is a challenging time span. It's not a full hour, but it's more than 20 minutes. I am sure that you've never thought of that, have you? The fact that 45 minutes is more than 20 minutes. Do I know how to think outside the box or what?

What I mean to say is that 45 minutes is just awkward. Lunch breaks are usually an hour. Aerobic exercise usually happens in 20-30 minute intervals. Happy Hour is usually a five-hour event. Right? (Or is that just my Happy Hour?)

If I weren't blogging, what could I do with this 45 minutes? Actually, there are lots of things I can do in 45 minutes.

In 45 minutes I can...

Drunk dial 8-12 people

or

Watch an entire porn video (as long as I fast-forward through certain acts I find distasteful)

or

Read 5-10 blogs I enjoy

or

Read 75-100 blogs that bore me

or

Write a guest blog for someone I love

or

Watch almost 2 episodes of Sex & The City

or

Watch an entire episode of Popular on DVD

or

Listen to Margaret Cho's CD "Drunk with Power" as long as I skip the introduction and audience applause at the beginning

or

Walk past the convenience store by my office 90 times so I can check out the Asian bodybuilder who works there

or

Drink 3 Maker's Marks

or

Eat an entire pint of Ben & Jerry's (I tested this theory last night)

or

Change into gym clothes and run on a treadmill to work off the pint of ice cream

or

Read all the theater reviews and check the "Chance Meetings" personal ads in Willamette Week to see if anyone has fallen in love with me. Yet.
