down time

I need some suggestions to keep me busy for about three weeks starting on June 1st. I have to have surgery on my right foot because of stress fractures. I just started reading and replying to BOL forums. Does anyone else have any ideas to keep me busy.

If you do not already have one, start a blog
master the art of photoshop and edit up some of your digital photos - have some fun, nothing better than lasers coming out of peoples eyes
do some online training courses
eat
sleep
work on winning a bol tee

watch day-time tv
watch the home shopping network.

and so on!

how do you win a BOL tee?

Many are called but few are chosen...

Actually it is easy. Just hang out and contribute.

Thats all there is to it. Things that help:
1. Spend time and have fun
2. Contribute.
3. Scoop the reporters. (that one never gets old)
4. When ever possible, help a fellow BOL-er if you have the expertise to do it.
5. Your opinion counts, so put it out there.

Or, do what I want to do..
Stalk a previous winner in your area till they get so tired of seeing your happy face that they will give it up. But there is a science to that, you have to make sure you pick someone who is about your size, and it will have been washed (BOL-er's have good hygene) so it may have shrunk a little. So go for someone "slightly" larger then yourself.

Other then that.. revert to the old fashion way with what I pointed out above.

what do i do if i can't win one?
i guess since my brother owns a screenprinting company i could have him make me some counterfit BOL tee's and sell them on ebay.
just kidding, i would never do that.
thanks for the advice

I had a wack of MP3's that were not taged properly. So I spent alot of time fixing that and ripping all my MP's. That actually takes alot of time, and if you don't have an internet connection, you have to do it manually, rather then connecting to the database out in the interweb.
