since it's gone quiet I'll try and start a subthread here
I was thinking about that whole thing about Barry saying picking clothes was easy and how it just doesn't fit in my brain-space.

I can spend ages trying to imagine multi dimensional strings and I've spent whole days sewing beads onto a bag or working out something pretentiously abstract and pointless, but I just can't get my head to concentrate on cooking or keeping the house tidy.

What fits and doesn't fit in other peoples' brain-spaces?

I think it's more what interests you and what doesn't
I have a compendious knowledge of useless stuff like the American Civil War, because it interests me.

Cooking doesn't interest me.

Selective application, if you will.

perhaps
but concentrating on things domestic feels like the mental equivalent of twisting my arm the wrong way, it's tricky and I can't do it naturally or for long. I can't be the only one, right?

I don't know
Is this some sort of abstract cry for help?

Cooking is tricky. Pushing the hoover round isn't tricky. It's tedious, and not intrinsically rewarding but it hardly requires any application of mental dexterity.

I find it easy, anyway.

the whole domestic thing is just not something i can get my head round for some reason.

This sounds like
An on-line attempt to justify and aggrandise a fundamental case of procrastination.

I think it's probably hibernating.

I heard that it was getting better.
Well, 'picking up' at any rate.

This is mr b3th entirely
if it doesn't interest him, he barely even gives it half of his attention. This extends from 'shopping', through 'housework' to 'almost anything that interests b3th'.

His reasoning for this is 'it's silly'.
