So much to do, but i have an overwhelming sense of duty to report on this, my first noticeable lounge of the day, namely this short bout of procrastination while in my black ikea office chair.

It spins. I like.

It got me to thinking about the fleeting nature of the lap. For when i stand i am lappless/ de-lapped/ lap-free. Tis only when i am seated that my lap comes into existence.

Here are some more observations regarding the lap:

• The lap is rarely discussed in political debate
• The lap cannot make a sound of its own [sic] achord
• The lap is an arbitrary construct and therefore, by right, should have a cult following
• You don’t necessarily have a larger lap if you are taller
• You cannot open doors with your lap
• If owls had laps they too would probably also watch Deal or No Deal
• If you put things on your lap and then stand up they will fall on the floor, unless you are in space or an anti-gravity chamber or they are stuck or strapped to you.
• All laps require knees, but not all knees require laps
