How much time I've spent doing the following....
looking out the window in the dissertation chamber?
staring at my lava lamps, either on my desk at school or in the dissertation chamber?
looking up at the ceiling in the dissertation chamber?
picking up, petting and putting cats off of my desk in the dissertation chamber?
It seems like a lot of philosophy is done while staring off into space...

Didn't you see that NY Times article about how this actually is productive time? Staring at the lava lamps is really doing work--really. (I posted a link to it a couple of days ago but am too lazy to look up the NYTimes link.)
I think that's why the running joke 'will think for food' about Philosophy majors carries so much weight... ;)
You have a lava lamp in your office? Cool. That's what mine's been missing all along.
