Two Trick Pony

Posted on March 27, 2013 by Charles Yallowitz

I’m realizing that I don’t really do much.  I write and I take care of my son.  I read occasionally when there’s too much noise to focus on writing or I’m a little drained.  I watch a few tv shows like Big Bang Theory, Lost Girl, Elementary, and Shameless.  Yet, I don’t really do much else.

I used to play video games, but I’m still working with a PS2 and a Gamecube.  I’ve had little interest getting new games because I never have time to play the large scale RPGS and action games that I love.  I’m also blocked from my button-mashing God of War games due to wandering toddler syndrome.  I have been considering making any run through Metroid Prime once I finish my editing, but again I feel like I should be doing something else.

I used to do fencing, watch a lot of movies, watch a lot of television, watch anime, collect comics, wander the internet for random topics, and several other things.  To be fair, I didn’t get much writing done when I had all of these other hobbies.  So, I wonder if this is the trade off for the time being.  I get a lot of writing done, but most days I can’t think of anything else to talk about.

    A fellow Lost Girl fan! I just found The Secret Circle on Netflix this week and highly recommend it as well.

      I don’t have Netflix. I’ve been enjoying SyFy and OnDemand. This reminds me that I still need to watch Black Swan because Ksenia Solo is in it. Not a big handler of psychological thrillers, but I have a bed to hide under if I watch at home.

    I wish I was as organized as you! If I could stick to doing nothing but writing and blogging all week, I might actually get something accomplished! I’m usually luck to get in two or three chapters a week and a wee little bit of editing!

    Writing and editing certainly counts as doing something as is taking care of the toddler. Just these alone are full-time jobs. I would say that just the things you mentioned are enough to fill the day. 🙂
