Timelessness

I have frequently thought about how great it would be if I could just have some days which weren't actually in the timeline. Have a weekend or better yet, a week, to live that, at the end of it, wouldn't have actually expended a week's worth of time at all. Living outside the week, or something. There's so much stuff to talk about and do, and yet, the real days fly by too quickly for everything to be done. So I've started a mental (and soon to be blogged list) of what I'd do in my timeless days:

1. Kidnap Michael and spend several days talking with him about VIA, medicine, and life.
2. Similarly kidnap Steve and spend days talking with him, preferably overnight for a few nights, about martial arts, massage, psychology of pain and fear. I think we have our best conversations when the sun's down.
3. Talk with the Brandeis karate club for hours, preferably inside, somewhere warm, unlike last night's hour long outdoor fingers-freezing-off conversation.
4. Hang out with Kristian and Eric. Play Myst IV. Or Riven XVI. Or whatever it is now. Gabriel Knight.
5. Take a long car trip. Convince Glen that car rides are fun.
...
1006. Clean my room, clean the house, clean the bathroom, settle receipts, file paperwork. (Note this is FAAAAR down on the list. Needs to be done, but I don't "look forward to it" or get wistful about it the way I do the other items on this list!)

What would you do if you had time to do anything and it wouldn't take up "real time"?

The annoying thing about those receipts is that when I close the fridge or put anything large on the counter, the all get blown over.

I'm not so annoyed about the interest-free loan aspect of it.
