Phases and Changes and Life, oh my

I realized a few years ago that I am somebody who goes through phases. It's scrapbooking for a month, then it's reading, then it's movies, then it's... whatever. (I thought this was normal until I met Hubs and realized he has two hobbies and they never change: sports and poker. So which one of us is the weirdo?)

These phases can last anywhere from a week to 6 months and during that time, all I want to do is that one thing, whatever it is. Then something else catches my attention and a new phase starts.

I've gotten used to this. I know that, eventually, I'm going to lose interest, but I also know that it won't be permanent. Eventually I'll pick up again on whatever it was I left off of. I may not scrapbook for a year, but the interest is still there, in the back of my mind, just waiting to be in the forefront again.

What I'm not used to, however, is losing interest in everything all at once, which is what I'm experiencing now. It seems all I want to do is watch the Food Network and play my new Nintendo DS.

The fact that I've picked up on some new "hobbies" isn't really cause for concern, except I'm kind of sad to find I have no interest in the things I did a couple weeks ago... 'cause they were a lot of fun! I know what you're thinking. If they were so fun, start doing them again! But... I just have no motivation.

And it doesn't help that the Academy Award winning movie I've recently tried to watch stinks. I know West Side Story is a classic (yada yada yada), but I just do not enjoy.
