Staring at the clouds

  1. Oh dear, I moved my desk around to make room for my drum kit, and have now found myself with a perfect view for staring at the clouds all day as they go past. It's not going to be very good for my productivity... Cloud-watching is one of my favourite activities. :p I wrote about clouds a lot once upon a time. Maybe I should again... this view certainly would help.

    It's not like I'm easily distracted when I'm writing, but I do like looking up to think, and it's easier when there is just a blank wall in front of you - or even a curtain pattern that you have grown quite used to looking at - than when you have this amazing, deep vista of clouds that change their style every few minutes into something new. I'm terrible for staring at ambient video footage or visualisations for media players... Stuff that moves around and looks pretty, but actually means nothing. :p

    It's raining out east of here, but where I am it's sunny... A big wall of clouds stand between me and the sun, so the sky is shaded enough to look at, though mostly blue where I am. It's actually gorgeous. :D

    Anyway. Must get back to my NaNoWriMo. Maybe I'll put in some cloud description for some extra word count. :D

    ^Yeah -- great job on the war -- battle. It's fun to see you two duke it out :D

    I like to look at clouds too. I don't necessarily watch them go by all the time, but I can find myself staring up at the objects ever so often. I have a bunch of pictures somewhere that just contain clouds. Kinda funny :D But they are so mesmerizing...

    My desk faces my window so I stare at clouds a lot.. or rather, just stare out my window at whatever is out there like the swaying trees and birds and stuff, probably too much. :p I like seeing how some clouds make shapes or faces, and then sometimes I end up writing a little story about it. And I love the visualiser in media players. When I discovered that iTunes had one, I was mesmerised with it for days. :p

    I have my head in the clouds all the time, window or not, though the availability of a good view would be much more conducive to my lollygagging.

    Oh my god, the iplayer one is gorgeous. I don't let myself watch it - I use Windows Media Player which has pretty ancient visualisations that I've got too used to. :p

    Worse for me is the fact there are all these little airfields for rich snobs with fancy planes right in the fields beyond my house - at any moment a biplane or other old sort of fighter plane or something might come flying over. :p

    Oh I'm so jealous, I love planes. :p

    Yeah, I had to force myself to stop watching the visualiser. It was hard. :(

    Ha ha I stare at the Media Player way too much, too. It is then that I notice that five minutes have elapsed in the time that I've waited patiently to see what color will appear next in the swirling pattern. It's weird that I can get so mesmerized. I stare at the clouds too. Just the shifting shapes are so appealing. :D

    Maybe since you are doing NaNoWriMo you could do a blog word count to keep yourself motivated instead of cloud watching?? :p Just a thought
