Midweek Miscellanea - Monotasking, Poets, and Minions

I recently read two excellent - and somewhat related - posts over at Writer Unboxed: 

Liz Michalski's "That Crazy Friend" discusses the distraction of social media -"Shortly thereafter I realized that if the Internet took human form, I could arrest it for stalking."

Therese Walsh's "Monotasking: The Forgotten Skill You (and I) Need to Re-claim, ASAP" talks about our struggle to focus - "Our minds have become fragmented because we are living fragmented lives."

And speaking of being distracted and not focusing. . . have you ever wondered "Which Famous Poet Are You?" Me neither. But I still took this fun quiz and found out I am most like Emily Dickinson.

And more distractions . . . a whole YouTube channel of Minions! Swing those pants, baby!  

It's Been a Long Week . . .

I don't know about you all, but this past week has felt six months long. I could use a good laugh, and few things make me laugh as much as those Minions from the Despicable Me movies. 

So, here they are, in the trailer for their very own Minion movie, coming July 2015!

Oh, those Minions! Have a good weekend, everyone!
