It would seem I have not been doing my homework for a couple years -- the homework of surfing trash and trinkets scattered about the web. In one day, though, I crammed all the Internet junk food into my mental digestive system I'll need for the next several weeks.
I did it by going http://www.stumbledupon.com/, allowing the toolbar to install itself after I registered, and just kept clicking on the Stumble button.
What a beautiful way to turn a completely unproductive and boring day into a completely unproductive but light-heartedly entertaining one.
Of course, my day was not complete without firing up Guild Wars and Lord of the Rings Online for two or three hours.
