things I’d like to do, or not

[marcicat]

So every once in a while I see someone doing something, or read about something, and I think, “hey, I’d like to be able to do that; that would be cool/fun/useful/etc.” Usually what happens next is I forget about them. Which is why I’m writing some down — so I can look back on them later (and laugh, most likely).

Stuff I’ve Felt Inspired To Learn/Practice Lately

knitting (It seems to require a fairly basic set of tools, would be useful if the world went to hell — you could store the knitting in the handbasket, obviously — and it seems winter-appropriate.*)

chinups (Because upper body strength is generally a good idea?)

prayer (Thanks a lot, Supernatural. On the plus side, so far prayer seems like just a really chatty form of meditation, which is super good for you but always makes me doze off.)

(*Am I the only one who read ‘The Ox-Cart Man’ as a kid and was left with the eternal notion that in the winter, one should make handicrafts?)

Stuff I’ve Not Been Inspired To Learn/Practice

cooking (Unless you count omelets and cheese sandwiches, which I’ve been eating lots of.)

veganism (Hard. Plus, it turns out that even though you *can* turn soy into just about any product imaginable, that doesn’t mean you should actually eat all of them.)

learning another language (Even though this would clearly be super useful *and* cool, I am not at all good at languages. Four and a half years of French, and all I can say is ‘Where is the bathroom?’)
