My favorite way to destress when I have free time is to knit. It takes me away from the computer a bit and its challenging enough to keep me entertained. I also get something to wear or to give as a gift afterwards.
Well most time I spend on TV and watch some sports action because I love sports. TV viewing is my favorite timepass.
I dont believe in word 'to pass time'. why i should want that when time is precius. i love to read, write, do web/wordpress design, listen to music, watch tv (rearly)
If I want to pass time I grab my video camera and go outside. I think of something to shoot and then I start filming. Later on I edit the video in Adobe After Effects CS4 and I add some visual effects and some nice music.
