Perhaps it?s a sign of being under-challenged or under-engaged; one?s gifts and interests and capacities are not being used."<br>I have often thought (I think this when a the Netflix package arrives pretty much every afternoon) that entertainment is, in fact, boring. It's a rare entertainment product/experience that's really involving. I had a prof in the drama department who said that the real, original meaning of entertainment was something transporting, something fully involving - intellectually, spiritually, sensually, aestetically. Of what can you say that? Conversation, ideally. Some art installations/experiences, about which one then has conversations.</p><p>This may have something to do with my ADD, though.</p><p>Eric and I often say "work is more fun than fun". It's certainly more entertaining for me.</p>betsyThu, 26 May 2005 12:14:50 -0000
