    Things to do?

    Hey all

    What does everyone get upto after work?

    Im sooo bored this week. On a bit of a tight budget as im at the BTCC next weekend and MotoGP 22nd/24th so im trying my best to find anything to do in the house, but not succeeding!

    What does everyone else do on a night time after a busy day at the office?

    I think im going through one of them "im never happy" phases and seeking a bit of inspiration. For the last week ive kept busy by watching 3 episodes of Lost series 2 per night. Last night I ran out of episodes

    Inspire me

    Not sure if this counts as inspirational or not really. I get back from work a good hour or so before the better half so that time is spent shooting things on the PC (still playing stalker) or catching up on CD listening. Once she gets in then its back to exciting things like cleaning, cooking and/or washing up...

    Try taking something apart to see how it works. Start with a toaster, then move on to.. say the TV, then washing machine then finish on the central heating system. That should fill the hours.
    What we share with everyone is glum, and dark...

    At the moment I bury myself in the sorrow that there are still more exams to be sat and that I should continue revising for them.

    Otherwise, after work, I usually do a different form of work.

    I work a lot
    PHP Code:
    $s = new signature();
    $s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();

    At the moment I'm sitting in my hotel room in France catching up on email and watching TV using my Slingbox. I'm stuck out here the rest of this week, all next week and Monday & Tuesday the following week so I expect my evenings will be pretty much the same.

    You 'yodel' the badgers? Perhaps a metaphor for something a little more sinister?

    Go for a run, clean various rooms, cook, bake a cake, do washing, annoy housemates, listen to music, mooch around on the web, ummm annoy housemates some more...

    All things i've done to avoid revision before resigning to the fact it has to be done at some point...

    Currently, watch a few episodes of 24 and work on the Master Of Puppets solo...I think its quite far above my current ability so it keeps me busy for a while

    And work through a guitar theory book I have
