Insularity: Problematic in So Many Ways
Sep. 21st, 2010 06:30 pmI have a lot of things on my brain lately. In between my on the side work for my mentor's non-profit organization (she runs 4 of them now... and she's retired) and my marketing research for work, I am busy (but not STRESSED busy). Today had slow points, which was good. Haven't had those in a while.
Anyway, today I got into a discussion with my Game Design Intern, as I do every now and again, because he's a smart kid and for reasons that kind of surprise me some days, I am something of an authority figure.
We were talking about books, and I was mini-lecturing him about how he's missing out by basically never reading anything (even what he's supposed to in school; he just reads cliffnotes and is smart enough to pull it off). Now, I am not nearly as well read as some of my friends, but I like to think I'm well read enough for my current situation and most importantly, haven't stopped reading. It's not as high on my to do or entertainment lists as it used to be, but it's not something I give up on. And by the sheer amount of other things I read (particularly on the web), I generally try to keep abreast of the world.
Also I go outside. Really.
( it goes on )
