I need a hobby

[cjsmith]

...like tennis, or philately... ok, no really. I'm doing way too much reading of books that don't interest me. Time for something new: something that can be done in small chunks of time and with little prep (or the prep can be left lying around the house ready to go), something that is okay to interrupt, something that does not involve standing up.

Some possible new hobbies for the CJ:
- beading*
- yoga (the seated poses)
- yet another new language to learn a little

Some past hobbies the CJ could revive:
- flying**
- sewing*
- photography
- baking**
- Japanese language study

* needs planning to pass the "can you fill just fifteen minutes with it" test
** fails the "can you fill just fifteen minutes with it" test

I've got a hobby...

... rereading Lady Chatterly! ;)

You could borrow any of my occasional hobbies: juggling, guitar playing (or any musical instrument), origami (polyhedra are my favorite), online activism (haven't done much of that), learning to draw (I have books about drawing cats, but haven't tried that much yet), making jewelry (haven't tried yet, but I wanna try beads &/or pretty wire shapes)....

Oh man, yeah, I could get back into playing a musical instrument. There's a thought.

I've reached my lifetime achievement limit in juggling: I can juggle three for a while and absolutely can not, no matter what, do either four or five. I think you need different genes do ever do four or five.

Making jewelry is where I was sort of going with beading. Would be even better if I ever WORE jewelry. :-)

If you don't wear it, you can always give it away to make friends and influence people. ;-)
