Competitions

Travel

Lift weights
Take an art class at a local community college
it's funny, out of those picks i've been doing...6 of them. I'm working on lifting weights righ now. Thanks for the suggestions, they should last for awhile.
start something you care about... you'll spend your life doing office refits and renovations but use your time off to work on something you are interested in.
what do people normally do when it's slow in the office... what do you charge your time too?
I've always wondered that .. ever since I've been working.
The in between time... just after you've finished CD's and before starting another project?
working on a new portfolio
applying for jobs and going to interviews
begun training for the chicago marathon in october
did a watercolor for my mom
cleaning my apartment
mountain biking
working on my tan
getting my loans consolidated
reading
drinking
grilling
thanks to all you guys/girls that responded to my posts. to give you an update, I have just acquired a very light part time job in a small firm. Luckily this still gives me time to pursue playing guitar and drums (my second passion besides architecture). Also I've been reading some books and doing various other thinks you guys have mentioned.
As for that site proto...very funny. I have a friend of a friend that just got plastic surgery and everyone's talking about it. Maybe i'll ask her if she'll put hers online.
