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............

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.

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.

Tackle any homework that needs to be done. If none of my friends are out doing anything, I'll just chillax at home.

come home from school, play with my dog, then go on the computer for a bit, then do homework/studying, then probably will surf the web, then dinner, then read a book, then surf the web some more, then talk to the gf, then sleep.

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
