yes, conspicuous leisure is a phrase coined by Veblen...
-Watching the first season of Six Feet Under. It's a TV show from the writer of American Beauty about a family that runs a mortuary. It's relatively plotless, periodically strange, and mordantly funny. It would probably also creep other people out if I were to watch it in the lounge. Giving thanks to the people at Mr. Movies for their 5 movies for $5 for 7 days deal.
-Sleeping a lot. Like, 12 hours the very first day of break.
-Rereading the fifth Harry Potter and fairy tales by Karel Capek and King Lear. Reading a 77 page long sentance by Bohumil Hrabal, another Czech writer. Reading a history of philosophy about the problem of evil. Elizabeth, if you're interested in another fairy tale about governmental institutions, I highly recommend The Postmen's Tale by Karel Capek. Or rather, a good fairy tale that begins in a governmental institution.
-Occasionally dealing with that whole getting a job thing. Ignoring the fact that I should try to find someplace to live after graduation that isn't my parents' houses, because if I live there I'll end up trying to find a job in the Bay Area, and that's no good. The excuse is that I'm trying to find a job first, and I don't know where that job will be. Ahh, well, two months to find someplace to live...
