One of those nights

Do you ever feel like doing at least two vastly different things at the same time? I do, and I consider myself lucky when it's only two things like tonight.
I'm torn between writing and reading. The problem with both options is, I don't know what I want to write or read about, respectively. Never mind that if I had any sense left, I'd be sleeping instead of pondering this not very life-altering dilemma.
But I can't shake the feeling that I should be doing one or the other. It's really rather frustrating. I just know that if I sit down to write - no matter what, just write - I'll end up itching to grab one of the books on my book list. By the same token, if I go for a book, I'll probably have Word started before I hit page ten.
And I only ever seem to have this problem when I've actually got time on my hands.
