I have been busy, plus it's summertime, so CS isn't uppermost in my mind right now. I'll send you a picture of my pinkie so you can at least say you've seen a little of me. I've just watched an interview by Tommy Tiernan (I don't find him funny) with Eddie Izzard. I find him intelligently funny. He doesn't tell jokes, he observes. I hate jokes. I find most totally unfunny. But observational humour done intelligently can be great.
Even when we are doing chores, travelling to work, etc., we can be in the moment.
Yes, some people drown out all introspection and thoughts with music, tv, company of other people, etc., but that is a choice as they simply don't want to be alone with themselves.
I always read reviews before buying or booking. I read the 1* and 5* generally. It is usually easy to sort out the cranks from the genuine reviewers. Sometimes the things they complain about are beyond the realm of what the business can do and i therefore ignore them - eg. Giving a hotel a bad review just because it rained during their stay.
