 Topic: What do you do when you get home?
Posted: May 23 2005 at 18:33 |
I'm just curious to see how many of the members have lives  .
Also, this is with the assumption that you guys work or go to school during the day.
Perhaps, it's because i'm 16, but everybody around me seems to have stuff to do, and yet i just sit at home. This girl i know was very excited just because she got to go home and sit on her backside all that day. This happens to me all the time. I just find that strange. O well. That would answer my question, i suppose.

Dig me...But don't...Bury me
I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive
Warning: Listening to jazz excessively can cause a laxative effect.

I am the kind of stupid bastard who brings his work home with him! 
I spend at least 12 hours a day chained to a PC.
Although I do manage to fit in thrice weekly trips to my local drinkery
Also visit the gym about 4 times a week-although you'd never tell
Listen to music constantly whilst working on my PC and usually have ProgArchives minimised (or maximised) for the duration....
Like to take in a live band at the weekend,usually a rock covers bands at one of my locals.

With my right eye and hand I prepare a lecture for tomorrow; with the left eye and hand I post in the forum... it's tricky, but it can be done 
Edit... I forgot to mention that my headphones are on (J.S. Bach's Well Tempered Clavier played in a harpsichord: the neighbours don't appreciate good music at this time of the night...)

Just been watching a documentary about an autistic savant from the UK. The guy went over to America to meet the the man who was the inspiration for Rainman.
This guy is amazing.He can read a page of a book in about 10 secs and memorise at least 90% of it,but get this: he reads one page with his left eye and the other page with his right at the same time!!!!

I put on some tunes, and get a snack. Crisp breads, olives and cheeses seem to be recurring motifs.
(Geez -- now I've got the munchies!)
Later, progfans -- the cheese stands alone.

Well all i've been doing this year is sitting at home all day anyway  Playing guitar, surfing the net, usually going outside for a short while daily.
Last year when i was still at school i would pretty much just do the same as you, MWH. Watch TV, hop on the computer, play guitar, or once in a blue moon i'd do school work
Not having any friends living anywhere near me, nor being productive enough to have my drivers license, i had/have little other choice.

Mmmmm - Cheese and olives (drool)
Generally, when I get in, I swear a great deal about work (my own recurring motif...), get a cold one from the fridge, watch a bit of the news, then wrestle with the Hammond for a while (must practice more, must practice more).
Out most weekends, but regrettably, haven't seen a live band in quite a while (I think Nick Cave was the last one, & that was months ago!)

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

When I get in I put the kettle on. Put music on and start chain smoking until about 6.15, then I make dinner. Eat dinner. Continue chainsmoking until about 9.30pm. Skin up. Get battered and go to bed listerning to music.
Wake up, go to work, come home and repeat process. This happens at least three times a week, the rest of the time I'll be meeting friends in pubs after work, having a few pints and then getting battered with them. 
I have become single again in the last three months, so I'm enjoying leading a meaningless existence, focussing entirely on myself before the next poor women falls into my life, and I find myself having to give a sh!t again!

If i'm too tired, i have some rest in the garden watering my plants and go to bed early.
If i'm not too tired, i put my hifi system and my vaporizer on heat, in order to have a great musical/vegetal session.

uh, I work 4 days a week, 9 to 5
it is terrible, monotonous computer work, for the most part
so, when I get home, yeah, I sometimes go to the bar with friends,
sometimes will try to compose music that I've had in my head all day
(usually unsuccessfully ) or just sit around and hang out with people. I live in a college town, so there is always something to do.

"it is terrible, monotonous computer work, for the most part"
I think it's the sad fate for most of us, to spend 7 hours per days in front of a computer and with the phone.
Sad time!
