Free Time Adventures

i have days off. several days off. 1,2...4 days off per week. I am finding that having concentrated free time is overwhelming. I find myself creating to-do lists and then becoming easily discouraged from completing anything on them. inventing projects for myself and then not doing them. and feeling bad about that.

but it's nice to have free time, i mean, it's not nice, but i wouldn't trade it. the alternative is even more grossly unnatural. plus you really find out what you're made of in your free time...over and over again. i can really experience my free time and come to free time conclusions about free time subjects.

i concluded today that tecate really tastes like shit if you are too lazy to cut accompanying limes.

i have also decided that i would like to become a Grill Master. So i took the first step. I went outside and i looked at my grill. It was awkward at first, but interesting, though ultimately brief. There were a lot of feelings involved. I learned that it's name is Weber and i really don't understand much about it. i had this vision of trying to heat it with a hairdryer. Weber was not amused. Nonetheless, i think there was a mutual attraction, in that clumsy junior high school sort of way.

then, i watched 5-6 instructional Youtube videos on the art of origami. But, having no origami paper to experiment, soon lost interest. though i did vow that i would purchase or print out some very soon and get started on that daunting Kusudama.

i tried to find dance classes in south philly but it turns out the only available class is a Pole Dancing class. This sounded at least theoretically interesting until i read the descriptions of what to wear/not wear. Included here was a warning not to put on lotion before class, because we would be forced to spend the whole session wiping the muck off the pole. Also, we were encouraged to wear very short shorts so that thigh friction might be useful. Gross.

i invented a lot of reasons to leave the house, but they all involved the purchase of something so i wrote them off as spurious. i do really need a juicing device though.

Reading. Reading is always good. i finished another book today, slapped it down on the steadily growing Finished pile.
