I think the primary culprit is Zelda, which has sucked me in and drained away my life since I began a new file. We're not talking new Zelda or current Zelda, mind you, but the SNES epic from 1991. *That* Zelda. How can little 16bit characters with swords and arrows eat so much of my attention away? Assortments of pixels and little menus, and idiotic little decisions -- should I keep my boomerang out, or risk a few arrows on these scumbags... Of course, I *do* have the Hookshot now...
The thing is, I can either go about my day and take care of business as usual -- do some writing, do some animating, do some craigslisting -- or I can venture forth into the medieval land of Hyrule, save another princess, scour a haunted dungeon for lost keys, upgrade my magical powers, warp into the Dark World, defeat the evil Prince of Darkness, and save the fate of the universe.
Little wonder I don't feel like browsing craigslist.
