Lots and lots of reading books and playing in the woods behind our house. We did have a TV, but rarely used it - the only show I watched regularly growing up was, er, um, Megaman NT Warrior.
(Look, in my defense, I started watching in the middle of the series, and in the third episode I watched one of the main characters 'died', and it felt dramatic and impressive. I still have fond memories of the show, though I like the manga books better)

Yes! We got a TV partway through my childhood, but screentime was extremely limited. It was very exciting to get sick, because then I was allowed to watch Disney movies.

 

I have, in fact, seen Star Wars. I got shown them during high school, when my friends found out I'd never seen them and were aghast lol.

Yes to both of you! I'm so sad I missed this, it's a great debate. Star Wars is a fantastic example of stage combat and its differences from real combat. I actually train in both stage combat and real combat, and there's a ton of difference between them. Stage combat is, at its core, meant to look cool. To draw the viewer in, to make it easy to see who has the upper hand in the combat, to make it exciting.

Real combat, as I'm sure Stormcursed would agree, isn't about looking cool, it's about winning - and often doesn't look good from a visual standpoint as a result. Fights are over fast, or they're a jumbled mess of struggling, or they're won with small efficient movements that are hard to see. That idea of blink the blade on and off to get past the guard? Incredibly hard to see clearly on-screen - a large number of the audience wouldn't know what just happened. A confused audience is a disappointed audience, and a disappointed audience doesn't pay well haha.

 

*hug* sorry to hear you're sick. Here, some toast for you, nothing experimental about it at all! ...Also some gollum juice, to help you get better faster! *hands over plate of toast and mug with liquid that glistens gold and pours suspiciously slowly* It's, er, it's like a healing potion!

 

My sympathy. 

 

Deeeefinitely know that feel. 
You got some good advice from everybody already, I'll throw just one thing in here. Don't undervalue making eggs - you did something, you were productive! When I don't wanna work on the things I need to get done, I make a list of all the things I need to do, and then I start adding more things to it. (Hang with me, I know that sounds dumb.) I keep adding different 'tasks' (which can include "work on art" or "work on that sewing project I started for fun a while back") until I find one that I go "hmm, yeah, I could do that one" and then I do that one, so that I have something I can say I accomplished. So "make eggs" is a task I can do! Yeah, it's not the highest priority thing I needed to get done, but I can go "Yeah, I did something!" and take that feeling of accomplishment and use some of that energy to start the next thing - again, off that extra-big list. And ideally I work towards the more 'important' or priority things. (But taking a day to be productive on creative things is also important. I think your idea of spend some time working on art is a good one.)

(This advice is somewhat ironic, as I usually hate lists and get overwhelmed by too many things - but I also find this helpful. My brain is a chaotic contradictory mess, it's lovely.)

 

Ooh, do Szeth! ...Wait...

 

HI!

Welcome!

*hug* Glad you're here.

You spelled monocle wrong

Yes. 

It bugs you.

So I keep doing it.

It also ensures that you reply to pretty much any post I make that you see.

It's great.

(I can stop if it bugs you too much though. I love my grandmother.)
