I've been refining YogaDance! this morning. It's becoming more specialized, and I worry whether people with minimal dance or yoga experience will actually be able to do it, but oh well. It makes me feel good, and will be fun to videotape and edit once I'm reunited with my camcorder (and Francisco's editing software) again.

Yesterday I updated my resume, so that's a relief. I gotta do my taxes before June 15 and, um, start applying to jobs now. That's about all that's on my radar at the moment. I had a great time up in Montreal last week, although already it seems so far away, especially after spending 2 or 3 (slightly weird) days in Vermont. It was a relief to get back to LI and the internet, that's for sure. I'm not sure what to think of Mom and George's relationship, but it gave me a slightly itchy irritated feeling. I'm allergic to power struggles or something.

I'd always assumed it would be slightly easier to get bored when you get older, as certain activities become monotonous. In case you were wondering, that assumption is false. I remember that hellish summer I spent on LI after my first year of college, doing almost nothing and lying on the couch all the time. That was the worst. I didn't even realize I was depressed at the time, because it was a new state for me. Anyway, that was really boring, so I was worried that I might get a little down and bored spending all this time on LI without a job. It turns out, as long as you keep engaging your mind, it eventually gets into the habit of always finding interesting puzzles to ruminate on, and it becomes close to impossible to get bored. I keep finding new things to think about, because I have basic understanding of more concepts/events/people. We should teach our children more about how to become intellectually obsessed with things, rather than retaining facts. It's important to start boredom busting habits young, to create hope and minimize depression, as well as creating enthusiasm for solving the most difficult problems. People say this stuff all the time, but I wanted to chime in my support for the idea.

Tomorrow I'm going to New Haven to visit Vis and Audrey, her new baby. It feels good to have domestic tasks. I don't think it would be too bad to be one of those bustling middle age women who creates strong community networks and in her spare time tests various stain removal methods. Travel and adventure is so 2007.
