The Upside

relaxing

One of the best things about not having a television, is that in the last weeks I have been rediscovering different ways to entertain myself. Things that I used to do when I was younger, to keep myself busy...

Music: I have been really listening to music again with an increased ferocity. In the morning when I wake up, and again before I go to sleep I lie in bed thinking, and daydreaming to whatever music takes my fancy. I am in an Opera stage lately, I find it relaxes me.

Drawing: I am using my artists pencil set, and drawing again. I am going to get a new scapbook as soon as I get paid, but this is also something gives me alot of relaxing, and I can pass hours with drawing, and painting.

Reading: Finally read 'The Little Prince' the other day. But getting again into more books, more magazines, more of the written word.

Walking: Since I lost my bus pass and need to get another one tomorrow, I have been walking around the city alot. And I have to say, walking across the bridges of all the Canal streets here in Amsterdam is more than beatiful.

So, although I miss movies (yeah I am a movie buff), I am finding time without television is being very fruitful.
