Lesiure and the Fractured Moment

[elfs]

As an unconverted datavore, I come across all sorts of fascinating things on a daily basis. And one of the most interesting I've seen this week is the following observation: If lesiure time is fractured into discrete increments, our experience of it becomes fractured as well. If you choose to microwave your meal instead of cook it, you get 90 seconds between putting it into the microwave and taking it out when you didn't have to do anything. Did that 90 seconds feel like lesiure time?

It's odd: I always perceive cooking as lesiure time. It might not be the lesiure I want to do right then, anymore than I want to read a book right then or take a bath. But it's never "work".

Datavore. Hmmm.

I think I'd call you an infomaniac.
