(...aside from coming on here, obviously)

Some would tidy their sock drawer.
Some would extract the fluff from their bellybutton.
Some would spend inordinate lengths of time folding and smoothing their used biscuit wrappers.

What do you do when you're "busy doing nothing"?

Was it really boredom which led a buddy, not only to pluck the fluff from his bellybutton, but to collect it and to save it in a film canister?

apart from coming on here?

in no particular order:
play online versions of really old arcade-games that i couldn't afford to play in the arcades when they first came out; eg pacman, etc.
read my way through my vast collection of dc/vertigo comics that i haven't read for a good ten years.
download and burn additions to my music/porn collections.

LiveJournal. The low-cost alternative to having a life I also got nun and virgin mary fingerpuppets for Christmas. Nuff said.
I'm addicted to the Sims again. Someone sent me Doctor who skins so I've been having great fun watching Tom Baker, William Hartnell and Patrick Troughton shaking their thing on the dancefloor to the sound of DJ Jon Pertwee with Jaimie and the Master as go-go dancers in cages.
If all else fails, watching Glitz and Dibber is an interesting alternative to normal soap operas

This is all dangerously close to "having a hobby".

That's life-enriching! We don't want that!

It was indeed a cold winter in Hansestadt Greifswald.

When I'm busy doing nothing?

Browse Heartland, of course

Playing SplinterCell 3 on my audio computer has something rebellious, pumping a stupid game through a PC used to handle 24bit stereo and 128 channels of audio, oh, and through 2 Tannoy Reveal Active Monitors.

Otherwise...reading and re-reading my Terry Pratchett collection; the same as EMWK (but for Commodore 64 related games/progs only); flogging off wannabe goffs on a Belgian goff-webforum...

IZ.

Being on here, still have to properly organise about half of my weeds (oh, the DVDs are on their way later today, probably, dubbing the first one right now folks ), errr, browsing Dime-a-Dozen, Soulseek, trying to talk nonsense on MSN, walk the dog....

I'm a busy man, obviously

Sleep!

I find that the best way to avoid doing anything productive is to get a job

The internet in general, at the moment it's last.fm.

substance abuse... you can lose days that way...

Well you could just have kids, two or more should do the trick!

Or you could look after someone else's baby!

Although you are trying to be productive they just don't always agree!

*imagine evil mother here now*

So what Gottdammerung said I'm nodding!

Go to work? ....

HASH, you plan lots.............end up doing fuckall

Then doing f**k all about anything on said list
