For me, what fun means is finding novelty in the suffocating familiarity of ordinary life.
Ian BogostActually a lot of the supposedly serious and meaningful and worthwhile content on the podcast or on the television is no more or less meaningful than the clothes in the laundry basket or the dishes in the sink. It's more a matter of the attention you're willing to bring to them, where you're willing to allow meaning and pleasure and the light to escape.
Ian BogostNo one wakes up and says, "Yay I get to mow the lawn!" But if I can find meaning there, then there's nowhere I can't find meaning.
Ian BogostIf you stop someone who's talking about something being fun, and say "Well what do you mean?" it's almost impossible to answer.
