It only shuts him up for a little while.

I planned on doing work today. I planned on reading books, writing essays, getting a jump start on my Grad school application...instead I spent the day studying how to format screenplays for television because I got it into my head that I wanted to write a show for the BBC. They take unsolicited submissions, you know. Why do I waste my time so? Would someone please tell me to do something I should be doing?
