Most of us are stuck at home and bored to death. It's the perfect opportunity to pick up a new hobby or learn a skill you've always been interested in but didn't have time for. Many publishers are offering some or all of their e-resources free for a period of a few months. Audible has made hundreds of audiobooks available for free during the pandemic. Many MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) providers (Coursera, edX, udemy, codeacademy) are offering free or discounted courses amid the outbreak. I want to hear your ideas. Are you learning a new language, rediscovering your love of reading or drinking in your underwear while watching clips of Trump and starting fights in NSG?

Your edit made it better but there are still errors. Can you figure out what they are?

Just getting better at video games and trying not to run out of weed. Been trying to limit myself to only drinking a few nights a week (just a few beers) cause it could be way to easy to just drink every day.

Writing music, learning piano finally, and drinking waaaay more than a healthy amount, but I feel I'm being productive enough in the day time to justify it.

Digging the psych jams. The kick in good cone has a real metal sound, but you keep the chill vibes throughout the album. Thought it was gonna turn super heavy. Cool stuff though.

Hopefully I'll get my bedroom EP done during this quarantine as well. Always cool to see people sharing their albums here.

Working on art - learning woodblock printing & drawing, listening to house mixes, maybe try some more animation stuff if I'm ready to commit to a project. Got a couple more weeks of kush. Pretty nice to be quarantined tbh, I'm not going quite crazy like a lot of folks.

But fr. I’m reading a lot, training a lot. Doing some hardcore workouts. Playing the guitar and just hanging with the boys. Life’s good.

And when this blows over I have hookers and money made off stocks to look forward to

Yesterday I mowed the lawn and slugged beers all day. But actually I have been cooking a lot, cleaning up like a normal person, doing push-ups and sit ups every morning, I am only a part time dirt bag.
