There is another thing that I remember from the interview with Vonnegut on the P to the B to the S (Stupid Bush and by Bush I mean anyone who would cut funding for PBS). It was a comment by Vonnegut that people were meant to ‘fart around’. While I may not like the wording (haha… I do like it!) I do like the idea, we should take our time doing things. We should get distracted by stuff that interests us. While there needs to be a balance with Getting Shit Done (GSD), being distracted and reading up on something a little outside the scope of work, homework, e&c. can be helpful, or at least sane-itizing. Hmm… I think I have been complaining enough, I am trying to look at things differently (Per request from the Heidi).

Anyone up for watching some hockey tonight? I am. I am also up for playing some… I am hoping that the water that flows near my apartment freezes. Anyone have any reading suggestions? A Tale of Two Cities, while more interesting than the opening sentence would suggest, is not really holding my interest.

  1. It was the best of times, it was the blurst of times?? (smack) Sorry, but I have no recommendations as I am decidedly un-read in comparison. Reading has only recently become a significant part of my “farting around,” which is strange since I should have been doing this in KY, not Japan. It`s kind of not good though, since between that, exercising and the occasional evening of J-sex, none of which require much effort, and all of which consume a large amount of time, I still feel like I`m not Getting Anything Done (similar to GSD). That goes doubly for while I`m at work, where the most productive thing I do all day is go to lunch.

    Hey, aren`t you coming over here at some point? They have darts!
