I derive an insane amount of pleasure from finishing all the ink in a pen.  It’s one of those things that gets me to work when I need to push past the procrastination inertia.  This is the last pen of this type (Pentel Energel) that I currently own.  At the end of each day I mark where the ink is so I can track how it dwindles.  It’s a little symbol of having gotten work done.  SO SATISFYING.

Just me?  How do you gamefy your to do list?

How to walk through a museum

1. In every room ask yourself which picture you would take home (if you could take just one) and why.  This forces you to keep thinking critically about what you are seeing.  More crudely, you have to keep on paying attention.

2. Almost all museums (MOMA is one exception) hang large numbers of second-rate paintings by first-rate artists.  Try to find them.  Don’t think it is all great, it isn’t.

3. You are probably better trained at shopping than looking at pictures.  Do some basic research on prices and pretend you are shopping for pictures on a budget.  This will improve the quality of your viewing.

4. Go with a variety of people (but not all at once).  It forces you to see the art through their eyes.

5. If you are visiting a blockbuster exhibit, skip room number one.  There is too much human traffic, as the people have not yet admitted to themselves they don’t care about what is on the wall.

因为我最近一直在玩游戏，我也经常看游戏风云。我很喜欢这个电视台自由自在的风格，有时候感觉我不是看电视，而是看一群屌丝玩游戏而已。有的主持人有点假，但是也有一些好像真正喜爱游戏的人，我喜欢听他们解说，虽然平时没有字幕（如果有中文字幕的话，我能听懂多得多！）。看这些节目很轻松，很舒服，我感觉他们没有多少钱，像什么公共电视台一样穷。很值得看！

As I’ve been playing a lot of games recently, I’ve also been tuning in to GameFY (or which literally translates to something like “Gaming Storm”), a TV network all about gaming. I really like the network’s laid back style; sometimes it feels like you’re not watching TV but rather just a group of friends sitting around playing games. Some of the hosts are a little too polished for my taste, but there’s also some who actually seem to really love games--I enjoy hearing what they have to say in their commentary, even though there’s usually no Chinese subtitles (when there is, I can understand a lot more!). Watching these shows is actually really relaxing. It seems like they don’t have much money to work with, kind of like public access television or something. It’s worth checking out!
