I'm in Law class right now, which I take over the internet. I am all caught up at the moment, and I haven't been given any new assignments. I've already gone over every new unread post on this site, so I don't really have anything to do. At the moment I'm casually browsing the Sonic Youth site, but I've seen it all before.
You're a clever bunch - what should I be doing right now?

If you're talking about the chat room, I can't. My school thinks it's worthwhile to block everything cool from usage.

Not here. I can go anywhere and do anything. Of course some sites will have consequences, provided I get caught (you know what I'm talking about), not that I do such a thing. And I was just referring to the regular forum talk. I rarely do the chat room thing.

I got some down time at the moment also. So I am going to try an new method of learning an Instrument. I just read it from a Japanese guy that has written this method for the piano. Here is the gist of it. If your going to learn a song from tab, Memorize it with out your instrument, look for simularities in verses and do the hardest verses or solo's first and spend most of your time with the hardest verses visualize it in your head. When you pick up your instrument and start playing the piece try to go up to full speed right away. When you finnaly get it start practising it at x 1.5 speed. That might be really hard for shedders!!! What this method is suppose to do is, Help you learn the song faster and help you spend more time making music. It is a free book on the internet. Here is the PDF file. It its over 200 pages so give it some time to down load.

If I have nothing to do in college I usually go read some huge book on Sociology.
If i'm too tired to academically educate myself, I default to music.
If i'm too tired to educate myself musically, I default to sleep.

I'm pretty much the same way, only I default to video games if I'm tired.

If I'm bored at school, I go on GT. Usually takes up the whole class trying to catch up on all the threads.
If I'm bored at home, I go on GT. Usually takes all night trying to catch up on the threads.
Of course I also sometimes play guitar/bass, eat and sleep. But that's about it really.
