Lately, I’ve been more about intake than output. Time is no shorter than it usually is, which is to say that it’s still pretty short. The most lamentable is the time spent in transit: the approximate hour it takes to get to and from work, the additional hour it takes to get to and from kung fu, the 10 minutes that feel like years to get to the nearest store that sells my favorite cookies (Uprising Breads‘ Cinnamon Oatmeal Raisin, for the record). Barring radical changes to my work and play, the commute is unavoidable. This is why I bought an iPod Touch and a Nintendo DS, and wasted away my transit time on Solitaire and Animal Crossing.
