Would you like to waste some time today?

I am a champion procrastinator, and today have two time-wasting opportunities to offer you.

Via MetaFilter, I discovered Colors.lol.

Its primary attraction may be the, hmm, inventive colour names, eg snail-paced soft pink, isotopic light periwinkle, multicoloured sepia (???), and merciful seafoam green. These are undoubtedly more fun than the standard paint descriptors.

They are set out in colour palettes of three at a time. Some of the three-colour combos are lovely, others hideous.

If you have nothing better to do, how about selecting a colour palette for:

a) your dream kitchen

b) your dream bedroom

c) your dream sitting room

d) your outfit to go to a Royal Garden Party

e) something else?

There are handy links supplied for each palette. I wonder what the choices say about us? Are the links you find for your 'ideal' close to what you actually have?

I'm going to put my answers in comments.

If you are looking for even more mindless entertainment, how about taking this personality quiz? It gives you your closest match to literary/fictional characters. I got Luna Lovegood which… yeah, actually, not bad. At least, in my present mood/state of mind, that seems reasonable. In another state of mind my answers would differ. Nextmost are Jake Sisko and Georgiana Darcy. I've forgotten most of DS9, but Georgiana does seem a reasonable match. Happy to see that Bill Rawls (The Wire) and Ervin Burrell (also The Wire) are in the bottom ten, along with a bunch of characters I don't recognise.

You get the option of answering some extra questions - they'll ask you which media you're familiar with, and then do some personality questions for some of the characters.

Any more dreamy, slightly dopey witches out there?

Oh, and when you answer, how appropriate can you make your userpic?
