I think, yeah, even more so than summertime, I just like to curl up with a good audiobook.

Eat and be slothful.

And it's great.

I'm always going somewhere in the summer.

The audiobook's always on my phone, plugged into my ears.

You'll see how slothful I've been.

My bass guitar playing has really suffered as well.
