I like to be more creative about research topics I'm working on and try new approaches to current research questions or just come up with more questions or research other interesting papers in my field.

I'll occasionally go outdoors for the weekend, hunting, canoeing, blew my knee out hiking, so don't do that anymore.

Posting on your iPhone instigates tersness.

This past weekend I spent writing. The weekend before I was on a four-day river-rafting trip.

I forgot to mention the other weekend I camped out with a bunch of engineers, rocket scientists, and writers. Seemed like the think to do...

I'll either play video games, go to the gym, do homework, watch football, drink, or stay up late reading about physics-related things [:
