Forced Relaxation

August 26th, 2007Blog0 comments

I think it’s very important to force yourself to relax. To do nothing for a day. Read, play video games, eat junk food. It keeps you from burning out or taking your work too seriously.

I just finished a new draft of a project so I spent this weekend doing absolutely nothing. It was awesome. I took a nap today and had a dream where I was helping my friend Wes move and I accidentally dropped his bowling ball and it split in half and looked like a geode inside. Then I woke up and played some Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter Dos and BIOSHOCK. Bioshock still scares me. I can only really play it in the morning because then it’s less scary with the dawn chorus going on in the background.

I had a great time at a show on Friday that our good friend Dave was in; good theater energizes me. Then we went to Bossa Nova and I ate a steak with plantains. That de-energized me, but in a good way. Like colliding with a fluffy, snuggly cloud of good feelings. There was a small pile of what looked like sawdust on my plate. I was told that this was Yucca Powder for seasoning. It was breadcrumby and good.

To summarize: Relaxing is good. Now I’m primed and wanting very much to move on.

I just started this and I have no idea to expect from this one — all I know is that I’ve heard very good things about it. I’m also in a subversive mood right now and would like some subversion from my reading material.
