Some of my twitter soccer friends do a podcast, and I want to listen to it (partly because two of them have nice voices), but I'll be sitting at my computer and start clicking links or reading LJ or whatever, then have to back up because I missed the antecedent.

Weirdly, if there's music playing and I'm trying to focus on writing, I can't at all. It's like the part of my brain that processes language is occupied by the music (which, actually, according to a story I heard on NPR while I was running errands, is the same. They were talking about 2 new books about language learning.)
