yeah, it's amazing how much work you can get done when you don't have all the usual distractions.
During the blackout recently, I spent all my time listening to my portable CD player and going through albums I hadn't heard in years. When the batteries ran out all there was left to do was either read music magazines or practice guitar. It was a like a 2 day forced music camp.
I noticed ever since how much time is wasted watching TV, playing video games & surfing the internet.
