Found a freezing cafe with wifi, outlets, big mugs of coffee, and lots of space on W Houston and Greene St called Aroma Espresso Bar.  I've been here 4 hours and am getting hungry.  I wrote the first 400 words of Enjoymentland, did all my bills, caught up on 180 emails, favorited and tagged photos from dB and Misha's awesome wedding and brunch (see Rick's and Kellianne's), updated the software on my iPhone, am installing Installer.app right now to see what that's all about, did some volunteer guerrilla iPhone marketing that happens whenever I'm sitting in public, read a chapter of my new favorite book Adverbs, that I borrowed from silverfae9, and people-watched. 

I have two more hours here.  We were going to go to the gym (I'm feeling a slight bit unhealthy lately with all this good-eaten... need to lose a couple pounds), but left essential gym items at home accidentally (or subconsciously?).

Damn it, the Installer.app thing made me do a recover which erased all my data from it, and I've got no contacts on this laptop to sync with.  STUPID.  I should've known better than to install this while on vacation.  Oh well!  Apologies for not having you in my phonebook anymore!  :(

Now I wanna eat something. 

What do you think about this statement?  Nothing is worth doing unless it's enjoyable.  And, by "enjoyable", I mean enjoyable in at least one of these six ways:

1. Ego: it strengthens your ego/sense of self, your identity
   
2. Sensual: it feels/tastes/sounds/smells/looks good
3. Healthful: it's somehow healthy, edifying, or supports your ability to physically survive
4. Social: it is somehow a shared experience
5. Potential: it saves or stores up money/resources/energy for the future
6. Intrinsic: it is enjoyable in itself, appreciated for what it is

Things that don't meet one of these criteria, I'm exploring the possibility, might not be worth doing.  And this isn't to say that none of us are doing them... for example, going through tough times in the hopes of one day having them pay off.  But I think there's something to the idea of not going after these future riches that make us miserable now.  I think this thinking might be left over from the days of trying to store up riches in heaven.  Or, stockpile money away in some 401K that you might be better off spending now.  It's a controversial statement that I think most people will disagree with at first glance actually. 

I'm still thinking about it, and don't know if I have the guts to go after this new hedonism.  Is it too cocky?
