multitasking

Sometimes when I'm in a hurry, and have to do 10 things at once, I use my webcam as a mirror. This way I can do my hair/make-up and check emails/weather/etc. all at the same time, whilst sitting on a comfy chair or even in bed. Have you ever done this? Or am I just over-juicing the photobooth application due to my lack of motivation to learn about other Mac functions? Hmm....
