to the 7 days in hunger...
Feeding two scarily fat fishes in a fishtank, just thought, maybe I should hold this experiment on them first....

Just summer
I am coming to the office with colorful hands lately - all in oil paints. Too bad there is almost nobody to notice...Well, I was painting quite a bit over weekend left alone in Icelandic winds(btw, you are allowed to laugh at the painting - I was just practising new technique - using glue for drawing and paints just for the background).
It was quite a nice weather though, so I made the longest ride ever on a bike before sitting down with a brush, took me 3 hours to get home.
I was happy, my body wasn't, refused to actively move for the next two days. And my face is all freckled from a friendly sun.

7 days in... hunger
Hmm, could be an interesting experiment - 7 days without food...
Without breakfast, lunch, fruit shake in the afternoon and home made dinner...
Where will all the time go?
How much time do you spend on food? Not just eating, but also thinking what to eat, fetching the food (unless you have a personal cook), digesting and thinking either "I should have eaten a bit more of that (put your favorite here) or "I should have skipped that desert", doing dishes (again unless you have a personal cook or a wife, which is the same anyway) and planning for the next meal. Gosh, a rough calculation gives 3 hours a day spent (wasted) on food. 3 hours? and I can't find 5 minutes to iron a dress that I wear tomorrow to work? Or finish a book that has been lent to me 3 years ago (well, the person has left the country already, but if he comes back, his book is still drying among the 500 unfinished books on a dusty shelf). How about finishing that painting? Or finally cleaning up my Canon (some kind person shared fruity drink with my camera once, two years ago actually), maybe it's time to get rid of that sticky stuff?
Well, it's not just about the time(my presious :); and I get a bit more of it than many - since I can't stand sleeping in and missing life in the morning hours).
It is also about the senses, behaviours and thoughts. What if I get to be even more irritated or anxious? Maybe it will bring me so much more energy? Maybe I will loose consciousness for the first time in my life? Or maybe I will start dreaming happy dreams where all happens as you plan and you plan as is right?
Maybe, maybe - I would not know until I try. So I am going to try. Not tomorrow, but soon and you will know, since I will make sure to share this with you (in case I am suffering, it is better when it's shared).
I suppose my readers (if I have any) are happy people that a quite comfortable with their lifes and time and thought and behaviours and ... whatever else people are doing when they are not eating, I guess they would not want to join me in this experiment. Otherwise, you know where find me.
