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

Oh man! Those are incredibly detailed! It must take forever to complete one egg. How long does it take you, for example, to do all the wire decoration around the hole?

It takes a lot longer to think up what to put in the egg than it does to put it together. I can do a simple egg, from start to finish, in about an hour. Complex eggs can take longer.

There is only a single strand of wire superglued around the hole, the rest is cheap ric-rac from the fabric store white glued around the wire.

The hobby is cheap and simple. You've probably already got everything in your house to do a simple egg.
