- Listening to music, headphones are usually firmly planted on my head most non-working/social hours of my life. Meant to start learning that guitar I bought 2 years ago ha.

- Gallery hopping - it's like a pub-crawl without the pints, and with copious amounts of walking and contemporary art.

- I can now call myself an intermediate level knitter!

My sister's an avid knitter. My roommate expressed an interest so I got him some needles & yarn for Christmas, but he left them behind when he moved out, still unused, so I may give it a try.

Do it! finishing up your first scarf gives you a great sense of achievement. My first has all these dropped stitch mistakes that I had to weave-fill afterwards, but it is definitely my favourite out of all the things I have made.

I'm aslready into uncut, and the goal is to unravel the present, not cover it up. What a waste of yarn.

In all honesty -- I have several hobbies - booze - bondage - buttholes - balls - bulges - but overall . . .

 

 

I cannot help it -- at the store - the doctors office - restaurants - the post office - the gym - physical therapy - the bank - the car wash - the grocery store -

 

driving through the college sections of town - at the gas station - the Barber Shop - Tupperware parties - you get the idea!

I've been self-employed since 2008, but only two years ago did it occur to me to treat my work as my hobby. To occupy it in my mind 24/7 -- or actually, contrarily, only whenever and wherever it felt productive to do that. And to really inhabit the work, to infuse my personal identity into my professional identity (not entirely :D but pretty much), and to enjoy it. It finally dawned on me that I had still been carrying around the needless, and needlessly friction-inducing, unconscious mental constructs of having some imaginary boss for whom I was slaving away, sitting at the desk and pretending to work for an 8-hour slog, etc. Now I get more done in any three or four hours at the desk than I used to in ten.

 

The mind-forg'd manacles, as Blake said.

 

London

By William Blake

 

I wander thro' each charter'd street,

Near where the charter'd Thames does flow.

And mark in every face I meet

Marks of weakness, marks of woe.

 

In every cry of every Man,

In every Infants cry of fear,

In every voice: in every ban,

The mind-forg'd manacles I hear

 

How the Chimney-sweepers cry

Every blackning Church appalls,

And the hapless Soldiers sigh

Runs in blood down Palace walls

 

But most thro' midnight streets I hear

How the youthful Harlots curse

Blasts the new-born Infants tear

And blights with plagues the Marriage hearse

Piano, the forum, travel, and lately, having free sex with guys my own age. Of course, I still enjoy my escorts, too.

Great reminder about those people whose chief hobby seems to be hanging out and looking good doing it.

P.S. Many (most :rolleyes: ) of the consultants who are my direct competitors are not necessarily the sharpest knives in the box. Re-reading Childhood's End last night, I realized that in my professional reinvention over the past two years, part of me has been unconsciously modeling my business behavior, privately and publicly both, on one of my earliest imaginative role models: Supervisor Karellen. :cool:
