This weekend has no fixed plans. Feeling quite happy, I can do what I like. Should I:

* Go to london, see the zoo?
* Go to london, see the gallery?
* Write a short story about a murder in a fictional pantheon?
* Write lots of emails to livredor?
* Curl up in public somewhere and read for a day?
* Write some code for something simple but potentially useful?

Can I vote for the story and the emails? That's what I'd do :)

Actually, on the subject of stories, the Mays deadline is Friday, and I don't think they'll accept my Phoenician chapter, so I'll probably end up sending a Mothicle...

I know my criteria, but not yours. So I'll tell you what I would like to do and let you make your own mind up :)

  • Gallery above zoo, any day. Even though it would take me at least 3 times longer to get to the nearest galleries I know about than the nearest zoo.
  • In fact, gallery is pretty high. Especially if you have a particular collection in mind.

  • I can't see myself planning to write a short story a couple of days in advance - but maybe that's why I don't get much writing done.
  • Emails are good. I am somewhat confused by the pluralisation of 'emails' though. I prefer IM for text-based, computer-based conversation. If it's not a conversation, surely writing lots in a single email would work? Although I guess depending on volume and availability of time at the other end, several may be easier. Also for lots of disparate thoughts, but then my thoughts aren't plannable that far in advance.
  • Reading is good. I try to avoid spending whole days reading, because I run out of perfect books too quickly. I often fail and read for so long that I miss a couple of meals. Reading is fun.
  • If the code is simple, I try to save it up for when I am not feeling happy. Then I can a) concentrate on something for a while; and b) have something useful come out the other end. This tends to make things better. If it could be usefult to other people as well, then I am more likely to do it sooner than save up.
