Bored get boring

I realised the other day that I've become a bit boring. All I do is work on my thesis. Most days I don't leave the house. I used to be really interested in current affairs. I'd read the guardian (real news) and the register (g33k news) daily. I'd watch the channel 4 news every weekday evening. I took a great interest in music and art. Now I almost never read "the papers", have noticed myself not really listening to music to the point where I now often work in silence (I NEVER used to work in silence). I guess because I'm concentrating on the thesis I'm falling out of touch with things. When it's done I'll become the media savvy, politically charged, interesting person I once (thought I) was.
