I like to mong out in front of the telly in the evening.
I hate loving to do that :lol:
My favourite forms are films and gaming; I rarely get time to do either though.
When I do have time on my own to do them, I'm often so confused by the availability of choice, I just spend all my free time looking through my lists of games and available films; trying to work out which one to play/watch until I no longer have time to play/watch them.
So in reality; I probably spend more time reading as I can escape by running a bath and lying in it for an hour, or reading in bed.
If I had the time/company/money, I'd live in the cinema. I love watching films on the big screen and it's probably my favourite way of being entertained by media.
I love playing new games though. I get really excited about a new game experience and love to just enjoying a new game. When I've bought a new game, I actually force myself to have enough time to play on it substantially. My collection is filled with games I've played for 10 hours in the first week and then never touched again because I've lost the ability to find the time to get back in to them. A new game snags my interest though and then the older one is forgotten. I'm such an ADHD gamer :lol:
I also tend to obsess (I suspect most people do). If I hit a good book (or series), I'll read it in all my spare time until I'm done. Likewise if I can find a good TV series (pretty rare, I'm not a big TV watcher) that's available in its entirety, I'll watch two or three episodes a night until it's all done.
So I think if I have time* it's:
1. Cinema
2. New games
3. Films
4. Old Games
5. TV
If I don't have time:
1. Books
*Time is relative... All my time is consumed by relatives you see. Between coming back from work and bed time (between 8 and 9), the TV is off limits to anything adult as Maxi-Minor_Furie is about, usually watching/playing what he wants. So most of the films/games I want to enjoy I can't. Plus it's "household" time, so sorting out food, cleaning, etc.
After 9, it's adult time, so that means Madame_Furie catching up on all the TV she has recorded that she can't watch when MMF is about earlier on. We try to split the TV use, but I tend to find (as I need to shower in the evening
), that it's usually gone 9:30 before I get a chance to "do stuff for Furie", and by that time, I'm too knackered to play a game and a film will go on past my bedtime. So I just let Madame_Furie have the TV while I go and lurk with a book in the bath/bed. My life is so exciting
