It turns out that if I don't play video games, I can still manage to fritter away the time. Although I did get a little work done for my prospectus, I mostly didn't. I'm nearing the conclusion of a fourteen book series, and thus read several hundred pages of that today (as noted above, to the comforting sound of rainfall on a metal roof). I even rearranged the bookcases containing my movies and video games in a way that I feel makes more sense.
It was a rainy Saturday, but I do feel a bit refreshed by it.
