A brain wave must have hit me, as I am suddenly watching Prison Break like mad. Ten episodes over two nights. It pushed my bed time to 2 am. I felt terribly tired at work. I drowse.

Prison Break is just soooo… unstoppable. It is like Pringles, "Once you pop, you can’t stop"! I am on the ten episode of the second season, where Lincoln met his father; LJ, his grandfather. Anyways, the point is, I will soon be "up-to-date" with TV screening, which is showing episode 20 this week.

Somewhere I read, "it take 21 days to build a habit". Twenty one days? That’s three whole weeks before a behaviour becomes a habit? But seriously I think it depends on the type of habit. Bad habits are especially easy to pick up, but the good ones are like Teflon, they just don’t stick. Regardless of whether the statement is true or not, it seems my nine resolutions for 2007 mostly failed. Especially the last one about keeping in touch with friends and families. If anything, I distanced myself ever further. Fewer phone calls. I hardly receive and/or reply personal emails anymore. I don’t actively "hi" anyone on MSN. I blog less often. Face-to-face gatherings with ex-university friends resorted to those once-a-month birthday dinners.

All at the same time, I find myself more pre-occupied than ever, by work, by tutoring, school and whatever. I preferred these days to spend my only free day, Sunday, on my own. Watching TV, surf the web, or spend it in a way which I would consider wasted by the end of the day. I almost feel imprisoned by myself.

When will I break free?
