Aside from things directly related to game, what are you doing? What hobbies are you picking up?

For me, I've been in bed sick the last few days and I've done nothing but watch movies. I have seen so few movies in my life it's ridiculous. When people start to talk movies, I clam up because I have nothing to say. I want to change that, so in the last two days, I've watched 8 movies (Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs, American Beauty, There Will be Blood, No Country for Old Men, God Bless America, The King's Speech and Pearl Jam 20). I've also been trying to watch some popular TV shows (i.e. Dexter and Breaking Bad). I know it doesn't sound like much, but you don't realize how often these things come up in conversations unless you haven't seen them and can't contribute.

I've also been working out a lot over the last year. I've put on quite a bit of muscle and I'm in pretty decent shape now. I love spending time in the gym and it makes me feel great, which is another plus. If I can get some money saved up, I'll start taking boxing lessons.
