Some days I log into WoW and play from the time I have dinner until it's time to sleep.
Some days I just go hang out with my neighbors and we drink beer on the front lawn.
Some days I go out with friends.
Some days I watch a movie.

ahh, WoW. How I don't miss the days of raiding 3-5 nights a week from 7-1............
 
Monday - Go home & be a lazy fvck, either watching TV or playing some game on my PC
Tuesday, Wednesday- Usually hang out with friends
Thursday - Stay up late playing World of Darkness
Friday, Saturday - One day I'll usually watch movie, and the other I go out drinking with friends
Sunday - Relax watching TV & playing games

What an exciting life I live.

I think back to my early 20's and how much of my life I wasted (yes - WASTED) gaming from 5pm - 1am. If I could go back in time I'd instead invest that time bettering myself physically or academically.

Games are okay - I still play them - but moderation is the key.
 
run errands (grocery stop, drop off netflix at the mailbox, etc), go home, cook dinner... after dinner, I clean up, clean my apartment (if necessary), and spend the rest of the night before bed just hanging out, watching tv / playing warcraft.
 
Monday night: went swimming.
Last night: pulled out the chain saw and cut down the dead tree in my back yard.
Tonight: working late. 🙁
Tomorrow night: mountain biking with friends.
Friday night: heading to Tahoe for the weekend.

Fairly typical week of post-work activity for me.
 
hmm.. this time of year:

Monday: gym, then bar with roomates/GF to get beer/wings
Tuesday: hang out with GF
Wednesday: gym, then TV or gaming
Thursday: bar with roomates/GF for beer/wings
Friday: gym, then out to random parties to get shitfaced
Saturday: Tailgate for Penn State game, go to game, continue drinking
Sunday: Steelers game

And throw in a tiny bit of schoolwork here and there

Agreed.
I used to raid 5 days per week. Now Maybe 1 or 2.
 
I work really wonky hours so I guess it depends on the time of night.

Usually come home, eat dinner, play guitar for a few, finish with a nice tall glass of scotch, sleep.

Man, I'd go nuts with that schedule. Props to ya.
 
I get home, have a cigarette with my wife and she tells me about the idiots she works with. Then she goes to bed, I "tuck her in" 😉 and typically get on the computer to play poker/WoW/NHL06 until I can't keep my eyes open any longer.
 
Come home. Go for a walk with the wife and dog or take the mtn bike over to the park for a ride. Make dinner. Grab a beer. Maybe do some stuff around the house. Watch a bit of boob tube with the wife. Hit the shower. Get some quality time with the wifey. Then hit the hay.
 
Routine is the same almost everyday:

1. Work out
2. Sometimes go out with friends
3. If not, talk to the girlfriend till she falls asleep and then work on my side businesses
4. Surf the internet while doing 3
5. Play online poker while doing 3
6. Occassionally try to read
7. On thursday nights we always go out
8. Turn TV on and leave it on as background noise, sports, sportscenter, poker, or laguna beach
 
On a normal night -> walk the dog, drink a few beers, watch some TV, eat, surf the intraweb, more TV, read a book before sleeping

At least twice a week I go to a bar or restaurant or both after going home to walk the dog
