Last September I wrote a post that I never published. It wasn't exactly this, but close.
I've gotten in to music, and bought too many headphones. I've been actively trying to spend less time online. So I listen to music instead, or watch DVDs. As usual I've read a bunch of books over the summer and then promptly stopped now that I'm back at work.
I'm still more in to music than I've ever been before, but I'm not really great with finding new music or new artists. Though I'm trying. I've also gotten back in to reading books, I'm actually impressed with how much I've been reading considering I have work as well now. There are two main things I have been doing a lot less of to make time for music and reading. I've almost stopped watching TV and movies, I'm sure I'll get back in to it, just not sure when. I've also entirely stopped listening to podcasts. I stopped when I stopped using my phone to listen to audio, I tried to listen using my dedicated DAP, but it just became more of a hastle then it was worth. The one I miss is Sword and Laser, I should get back in to that one, the other ones I can do without even if I liked listening to them. I also watch less mindless youtube videos, although when I'm too tired in the evenings and need something mindless, that's what I fall back in to.
The thing I still miss that I want to get back in to is having a creative outlet. At times I've been in to photography, other times it's been drawing or various fiber arts. But what I keep coming back to lately is writing. I'm happy to try and post some blog posts again.
