Your Other Hobbies (when not sinking ships)

Platapus · 07-02-08, 05:05 AM

Currently my main hobby is my school work. Working towards a Doctorate in International Policy which keys off of my Masters in Political Analysis, which just happens to be what I do for a living.

Doctorates take up all of your time. Friends don't let friends get PhDs!

I read this forums because the people who surround me IRL use logic and research to discuss issues; so I come here for a break

My "hobbies" up until a few weeks ago was academia. Which was nice. Now I'm catching up on life again, writing a bit, reading more

When I'm at a loose end there's usually a guitar in my lap and a song in my head. My current project is getting some recording gear together and remember how to play the piano properly. And my neglected bass. And a new instrument, not sure what yet

As I'm a complete WW2 Nutcase, you wont be surprised that I do Scale modeling with WW2 vehicles.
when I first had a small collection but lost due small accidents happening to them I finally decided to give it a go again after many years

I mainly do Aircraft but in the future I do some ships, subs and ground vehicles.

Studying criminal/civil and employment law. Drinking/driving (never both at the same time) and making Chinese and Indian meals.

Yesterday taking my bike and tour equipement and riding from Münster to Osnabrück, suprise-visiting friends. But friends were not at home, so finding a nice place in the Teutoburger Wald, spending the very warm night at one of my favourite hideouts near an old mine, a place I knew from the time when I lived in Osnabrück, and by chance being invited by some strangers, students, who had a grill party their during the night (yeah I know, grilling and hot summer and forest, but it is a place close to some water and hidden on he bottom of as dry rocky canyon...) This morning driving back and having arrived back home two hours ago, with heavy legs.

that story should serve as a clue, I think...

Just the grilling students are not part of the regular scheme.
