When you have nothing to do, you..

Just met up with some friends last week. We started having a discussion of things you could do when unemployed.

There were 4 of us. One just came back from a long trip travelling from err... thailand(?) through China to Mongolia. The other just got the sack not long ago. I just came back from Perhentian with sunburned back and in my opinion, a healthy tan. The 4th friend, is currently employed and thus was being sympathetic...

Some of the things we do...

"I wake up at 11am cos my mum is nagging at me to take my breakfast(!!), after which I sit in front of the TV... nothing interesting, I go back to bed at 1pm. Wake at 6pm, have my dinner, and do that TV thing again."

"Oh you know, you reach a point when you watch your computer defrag! Its interesting to note that the blue tends to go this way.. and the ......"
"Hey!! I do that too!! Just the other day I found myself staring..."
"I stared at my comp for about 3hrs"
"What??? I did only 15mins and my friend made me step away from the computer..."

"I wake up and turn on my computer, read a whole lot of blogs"

"Have you been reading?"
"Not really, my attention span does not last beyond a page, I read comics these days"

"Cartoons are the best thing to watch. They last only 30mins, so its not too tiring"

"I have friends who reach a point where they can't sit thru any films."

"I can spend the entire day just channel surfing"

"I can sit through the crappiest thing they show on TV, and not bother to reach for the remote control just in front of me"

"I just watch anything on TV. Its amazing how I do it, but i just sit and stare. It feels therapeutic after some time"

I sleep so much these days. Its really nice in a way. After all those sleepless nights during undergraduate days of slogging in labs and rushing our assignments, where getting 5hrs of sleep is a luxury... I deserve my 15hr sleep per day now. My complexion has greatly improved ever since too! No stress, no highly strung nerves from caffeine overdose..

Bf just bought me the Greenday album. This is my first Greenday album, and i like it!!

I don't think I am in any way capable of blogging coherently. Just string of thoughts.

Damn! I suddenly feel like taking a trip to Italy again. When you are there, sometimes it seems like one of the dirtiest places in Europe. Shady place, shady people. But when you are not there, you just miss it so much. Cheap coffee, oh cheap and good coffee... the rolling Italian language..

Damn it! I miss California too...
