Relaxed Tuesday

Every time it’s the holidays, I spend one day at least doing absolutely nothing. That usually means playing a game or something. Yesterday was the first such day that I had since these holidays have started. I suspect it’ll be the only one. Such days are not particularly productive, but they tend to feel like some kind of a baptism, and the holidays only feel complete when something like that has occurred.

I didn’t do completely nothing, though. (To be fair, I was Pericles attempting to overwhelm the world with my awe-inspiring culture.) I drafted emails and picked out my choices for my FYP. I also tried watching some things. I also tidied up my computer a bit.

(Yeah, Civilization.)

I got the first draft printed on Monday and am looking to bind it. I’m not sure what I’m going to do–whether I’ll have people to test it, whether I’m putting myself on any kind of schedule, et cetera. I might take this week and even the next to think about it.

I’m not intending to get too much done these couple of weeks though. Not work, not admin, not even friends. I just want the week to go by like a gondola in Venice. That’s an awful simile. I will stop using similes for today.

Patti Smith is awesome, by the way. Have I ever told you that? I’m pretty sure you’ll see that sentence again in the next six months.

Meanwhile, you can donate to the David Lynch documentary project and get your choice of a poster print, a T-shirt, or a tote bag. [via LYNCHthreePROJECT]

Mean-also-while, you can disguise your Kindle as a Moleskine notebook. [via Amazon] I suppose it’s meant to protect it from the scratches, but it still seems a little… odd to me.

Mean-triple-while, scenes from G20. [via [daily dose of imagery]]

Right, off to get a few things sorted.

Things are happening so fast, though. It’s already the end of June and July is upon us.
