Distractions

The end of the semester always garners the most focus, yet it’s always my favourite time for distraction. Books, movies, apps, board games, computer games, mind games – anything that can take away the suffocating stress for 10 minutes is good in my book.
Here are some of my classic distractions
- Any books from my favourites shelf– Harry Potter, Shakespeare, LOTR, historical biographies, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, Nick & Norah’s Infinite Playlist, The Hunger Games, Scott Pilgrim.
- Anything written by Amy Sherman Palladino- Characters that talk at my speed and movie reference level
- The entire series of Sex and the City- followed by an etsy search for the perfect version of Carrie’s name necklace
- Target- do I really need to justify this one?
- Geekling playtime- LEGOs, dollhouse, books, dress up, tent building.
I need some new distractions to add to my list dear readers! What are your favourites?

Claire is a self proclaimed books and movies nerd, and spends her free time watching way too much TV and playing with her daughter who loves Doctor Who. By day she’s a grad student studying sustainability, by night a geek mom making the next generation awesome. She drinks too much coffee (if there is such a thing) and enjoys relaxing with her dog Judy and a good book.

Some of your favorite are my favorites. Especially sex in the city. I distract myself with cooking, social media, facebook games, 9gag, craft projects, crazy home improvement projects.
My recent distractions are mowing the lawn (only because its a 6-beer lawn!), lifting weights, Kinnect dancing game, reading, warehouse 13 (huge distraction lately!!), walking everywhere with my dog and finding festivals and new camping spots online
I’m watching the new episone of Warehouse 13 right now! I love that show! The new episode is on Hulu early 🙂
Don’t forget music…especially nerdcore hip-hop! 🙂
Nerdcore is a motivator for me, more than a distraction. 🙂
