Ever noticed how attractive something looks when you dont have time to do it or arent allowed to? If you're in the middle of something you NEED to be doing, why do you suddenly decide to clean the bathroom? Why does it sound so nice to take a nap in the corner under my desk at work? I would never do that or even want to, if i was home, yet at work where I can't, where I hafta be working, nothing sounds better... Its like when you were a kid, and you're in class or in your room with your siblings supposed to be going to bed, and you start laughing about something- nothing has been so funny in your entire life as laughing about something when you're not supposed to be, and you're trying to be quiet. I may not have played Nintendo in months, but when I have some work that needs to be done, or an exam to study for, I've never wanted to pull out that old dusty Street Fighter II cartridge more than right then. We always want what we can't have, and then don't really care about it once we have it- "the chase is all you know, and she stopped running months ago"
