Wow. It's a "grim life" if you're not rich enough to indulge in at least one expensive hobby. Wow.

What language are you speaking, where "indulge" means "rich enough for one expensive hobby"? It sure as sh*t isnt English.
Or did the extreme example of indulgence I quoted earlier lead to you to assume that is the only definition of indulgence? Let me make it a little more explicit, then: my point was that indulge in something, even if it something ridiculously expensive (like the example I used) - by implication, it is also ok to indulge in something less expensive/ridiculous/irrationaI.
And yes, I consider a life where everything is measured by utility and where one doesnt splurge even slightly on irrational stuff that makes them happy - be it travel, music, doing blow off a stripper's belly or spending stupid money in trying to make a bike 2 seconds faster - to be a boring, colorless and dull life. Grim, one might say (and I do). Obviously, this refers only to people who are not living at the poverty line but do have the financial means to indulge atleast a little - ie, pretty much everyone on ST.
Sheesh.
