sorting records right now, agree, not boring, but not exactly thrilling

Spectrist, Thursday, 17 January 2013 04:31 (eleven years ago) link

Ok, cataloging records

lou reed scott walker monks niagra (chinavision!), Thursday, 17 January 2013 04:31 (eleven years ago) link

Depends on how many times you've sorted the same batch of records imo

lou reed scott walker monks niagra (chinavision!), Thursday, 17 January 2013 04:33 (eleven years ago) link

sort em right, don't have to sort em 1000x
at least if you remember how you sorted em

this customer is a jerk (La Lechera), Thursday, 17 January 2013 04:36 (eleven years ago) link

sorting can be interesting, it's the re-shelving after listening that's boring
cataloging is boring eg putting them on discogs to sell
packaging records properly you've sold is the boringest of all

train rides

i almost went with this and then i thought about all the times riding the train is neither boring nor pleasant and didnt but i think the right answer is 'looking out at the countryside from a moving train' or something close, same thing with car windows really, thats a dull but enjoyable thing, time and distance passing

watching crappy evening tv cuddled up on a sofa with your partner while the kids are asleep upstairs.

i have often said to friends, in this world of constant chaos, boredom is a welcome luxury.

Cats, 80% of the time. They just sit there, doing nothing and doing it in an intent, near-trance-like manner.

boxing out

no

cats set the bar for what is interesting

boxing out is hard but do you wanna ball or do you wanna go home
