Time Wasters

Post by Bjam »

I'm pretty gosh darn cold from ice packs and tired from drills going into my gums. And I'm totally bored because daytime tv is starting to get kinda repetitious. So do any of you have good time wasters? Games or funny long stories... anything?

That is not a time waster, although it does use a lot of time.

I'm prone to a bit of Sudoku myself. But I just got an xbox second hand on ebay, along with a few games. Funny, seem to have misplaced my to do list somewhere . . .
so . . . when was the last time you backed up?
