Hobbies:
Recently gotten into zen, which is mostly the practice of zazen (seated meditation). It's very difficult but I obviously think it's worthwhile, and the priests are really encouraging. I have my first yoga class tomorrow after work which I'm pretty excited about. Between the two I'm trying to develop more mind and body discipline.
I'm still writing articles for a few Oregon based magazines which keeps my writing skills sharp and also provides a few extra bucks. I'm not working on any fiction right now but I'm sure I'll start back up again when I'm ready.
I'm still running, usually every other night. I don't think it's going to be a long term thing though...I just don't enjoy it that much. I'll probably keep bouncing back and forth between running and weight lifting; when one gets boring switch to the other.
I've also been getting more into camping. Recently bought a tent, some chairs and other miscellaneous items. They'll be put to good use this summer when I go up to Olympic national park.
Things I'd like to get into:
Volunteer work
Video games (just started playing Xeno Chronicles)
Drawing and or animation (any suggestions? I suck)
Astronomy
