What do you do when you get a day off - other than practice!

[pianowelsh]

Title says it all really.  I live near a park and I love to go for walks OR failing that have a swim.

[pianistimo]

me too.  i like to be outside bicycling in the summer.  the winter is kinda strange.  i don't like exercising where there's a lot of people.  it just bothers me.  i'm not particularly out of shape.  but, i'm not 'in shape' really either.  i just don't want to be watched exercising.  so, i tend to exercise more in the summer. 

maybe someday, i'll get up at 5:00 in the morning and do those stretch exercises with theresa or whoever it was that was near the palm trees just doing her morning routine.

mostly - i think about piano.  obsess over it.  like right now - i'm thinking 'must play the chopin etude tonight at top speed.  i'm tired of this harassing about speed.  once and for all i must down opus10no2 with somekind of speed that is fast enough to shut him up.'  at least about age and speed.  i mean - he may still play faster than me - but i could prove that i can still play fast.

Depends on the weather to a great extent... I'm also fortunate to live on the edge of a big park, so I walk a lot... take my camera out just to see what wanders into frame. If I need entertaining, the theatre or cinema. Or, next Monday I have a day off work, so I'm going for a massage and then will probably spend the rest of the afternoon in an armchair in my favourite coffee shop in a happy daze, watching the world go by. Bliss...

Go to the Pub.

Nothing like chilling on the sofa with a good book.

I'd go for a walk.

Otherwise, I love fixing stuff just for the fun of it.  Taking stuff apart, seeing how it works, then seeing if I can fix it.

[pianowelsh]

cool.  i forgot to mention that I always can the nexspaper for any kind of concerts I can find (ie lunchtime concerts etc) that I can attend FREE or cheap! I have been known to sneak back to my old college and meet up with friends there and drink too much coffee.

[pianistimo]

you and me live life so dangerously.  we'll never die of attending a rock concert and getting trampled, will we?  frankly, i wouldn't know what to do inside a club either.  just looking at lichristine running up and down the ladder was enough to make my heart palpitate.  but, that's only because i've broken a leg.

my way of living life dangerously is waving at the crosswalk guard as he starts to stop me - but hasn't yet fully lifted his hand all the way up - and turning right really fast.  i only did this once last week.  then, i thought- i guess i shouldn't be in a hurry.

driving on ice is my other really good talent.  it's just fun to slide sideways.

[pianowelsh]

True to your accurate  sumunation of my character I must respectfully advise you not to pianistimo..It could be dangerous...THen who would make your husband Belgian waffles??!?

[tds]

swim, go for a walk, read books, etc

[annoying_airhead]

Finish hw, curl up in bed with book, play with Doggy-boy, etc.

[penguinlover]

I love to work in my flower beds.  I did get to do this a few days ago when the weather warmed up a bit.  I got all excited, and made plans for the next day, but it was cold and rainy!  That's when I practice piano.  I like to work jigsaw puzzles, sodoku, and read books.  Little or no TV, that is just a waste of time.

[thalbergmad]

play with Doggy-boy

Please expand on this.

Some people around here (no names mentionistimo) apparently do the most extraordinary things with Brillo pads and garbage disposal machines (I was going to add "but don't try this at home" until I realised that it might be rather difficult to try it anywhere else)...

Well, I'm not at the piano 247 so there's alot of other things I do for fun. Sometimes a lay down somewhare with a cup cup of coffee (yes I drink coffee) or tea and read.

Other times I watch T.V. or play video games . I like to swim and play sports, somtimes I call my friends up and chat with them.

A large percentage of my time though is dedicated to homework  . I do get alot of it. I

Also somtimes just visit the PS forums or go to the chat room.

We've got a lot of readers here!  Lately I've picked up the complete Shakespeare, I'm only familiar with the tragedies so now I'm checking out the comedies, figured I'd start with Midsummers Night Dream.

My family calls me out for dinners often, and friends always want to party.

...But I'm sick of partying, it seems to me that we've all forgotten how to have fun sober.  So I'm going to start doing some hiking in the mountains when the weather gets nice.  I can't think of any fun activities to do in the winter.  Except skiing, which is a lot of fun, but too expensive to keep up.  Otherwise I hate the cold.

I did that when I was younger. I took my bicycle apart - and I couldn't put it back again! So my father did it for me. I got a big scolding too.

I have been to his house, but he was not in at the time.

Well obviously "doggy-boy" is a nickname for his penis.



It's creepy that someone else has the exact same nickname for their genatalia as I do >>

Well, is it really, now? How absolutely fascinating! Not.

I wonder what Pierre Boulez would have to say on the matter. Not.

Mauricio Kagel would not even have bothered to measure it, I'm sure

"Doggy-boy"? God help us! Give me cats any day (albeit in a different context to that suggested here).

*choke*  Lovely...
Close, but no cigar.

Just out of curiosity, why on Earth would you name your penis 'doggy-boy'.

Anyway, doggy-boy went for the chop two or so odd years ago.  *evil toothy grin*
