On hobbies

On By Luther M. SilerIn Geek

I need a new obsession to keep me busy between now and the election. The way this weekend is going I’m going to have to do a full news/internet blackout in the next couple of weeks if I want to keep my sanity. Anyone want to buy me a lathe or a pottery wheel or, like, an easel and a bunch of those … things … you paint on, that I’ve forgotten the name of for some reason?

Holy shit, I really can’t remember.

Canvases! Anyone want to buy me an easel and some canvases? And I guess some paint?

Got thirty more cards done today. I think that’s my limit before my handwriting falls apart and I start misspelling things at random, as evidenced by the fact that I typed “limmit” just now and it was 100% deliberate and not a slip of the fingers. Either way, that’s a fourth of them done. Not bad.

Maybe I’ll make my son a couple more notebooks. He seemed to enjoy the first one well enough. I’ve got all this bookmaking crap lying around, I may as well use it.

  1. In all honesty – I do paint by number kits now. They have awesome ones out there, they come with all you need (paint, canvas, brushes) and they keep your mind busy. Completely saving my sanity! You can find ’em on Amazon, of course, but canvas by numbers and Herrschner’s also have lots of good ones.

    We will survive this!!

  2. OMG yes, good idea re: hobby. I have an easel I was gonna sell at a garage sale, but it’s pretty heavy to mail. LOL!

    I know that my grandfather’s doctor (this was back in the long time ago days) recommended needlepoint for him as a stress management tool.

    Maybe knitting? It’s been touted as a good stress reducer as of late…
