Alot of these ideas are things I'm already doing. I just started re-playing Batman Arkham Asylum and that seems to be making this day go by quicker at least. I'm also thinking I'll get back into Lost Odyssey. That's a time pit. And someone mentioned watching westerns to get me ready... that's only going to make things worse! Someone else mentioned TV shows, House specifically. Unfortunately I've seen the entire series (so far) already.
