and have an hour to refocus your energy, direct yourself to the nearest legitimate library. Pick a subject, any subject, that might interest you at all or just wander around until you find something that looks potentially interesting. Then you shall find bliss...at least for a while.
Ok so that sounds stupid. Point is, I was browsing the Dominican library for a little while around the section I had been using for a slightly boring exercise in dictionary skills for Italian class. Near the massive Italian-Italian dictionaries I FOUND IT!!!
What? A two-volume set of 5-language pictorial dictionaries from the 1950s. They seriously made my day...with the picture of "the lady's servant" and the picture of the baby carriage.
libraries are officially back on the cool list.
You'd be surprised at what you find! :)
