Glorious Day Off

Took a much needed extra day off of work this week. Friday. Chelsey is working today so I don't get to hang out with her. Instead I have solitude at home (except for the dog and cat) to do whatever I want. Somehow I always manage to waste my time though. Maybe I'll finish reading my book, "One Man's Wilderness" by Sam Keith based on the journals of Richard Proenekke. Excellent reading so far. It reminds me of my grandpa John's cabin in the middle of nowhere. (Mom you should check out this book).

I've also been literally forcing myself to get back into playing World of Warcraft. It is a painful ordeal because I can't help but think that I'm wasting my time. I know I'm wasting my time playing any game but, that's what leisure time is for. Wasting time enjoying what you're doing. It doesn't have to be meaningful or purposeful. You don't even need an end result because on a long enough timeline, the end result of anything is nothing. Maybe analysing gaming too much and I should just take it for what it is. That is,  mindless killing of wolves, boars, bears, goblins, and skeletons (amongst others) because it's fun.

Here's an abridged version of the full documentary, "Alone in the Wilderness" which is based on the book I'm reading. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYJKd0rkKss

And here's an unrelated photograph of a gigantic cedar!
