Up and down and up and down

I'm currently in the library writing an article for the governor's office, and there are painters all over this place! Anyways, so I guess they just started work around me and all I can hear is the sound of wet paint on a roller going up and down and up and down. Kinda annoying, so I looked over there and what did I see? I saw the roller going up and down and up and down. I kept looking, and looking, and looking, and before I knew it, I found myself just watching the guy go for like 5 minutes.

Is it just me, or is it kinda weird how your mind sometimes just sticks on one mindless object for a while? Today, mine was a paint roller.
