For myself, I might play with runescape a bit more. It's an mmorpg that's playable for free (though you get extra stuff if you subscribe), it does have fighting but you don't have to do those quests, there's also a large crafting aspect to the game. Unfortunately I'm having a hard time with the moving around aspect of the game (point and click rather than using your keys). Anyway, I'm just a newbie on there, still figuring it out. It does have lots and lots of tasks (tutorial type stuff) and quests (storyline stuff).
I'm probably going to be doing some organizing and such around my house. I've inherited some stuff that I need to start making room for so my house isn't depressingly messy.
I may pop onto WoW or LotRO a little to say hi to people during some of my downtime. My mum will be around this weekend as well, so I'll spend time with her and my dad (maybe helping her get ready for a garage sale). Maybe there will be some sewing and reading involved as well. And playing 2 slow paced role-playing games as needed.
Well, actually, considering it's all based in Java Runescape is actually very good in what it does. And actually sorta fun. It was my first MMORPG... The thing though, is just how crowded it is. The community's average, like in any other MMORPG you'll fine, but seriously. It is really, really, crowded.
I'll just do what I always do. Read, sketch, play other video games... covertly play piano when no one else but my cat is home... And of course make my boyfriend red, and squeaky, and his glasses fog up. It's so cute!
i work at Microsoft in South Africa so its not like i have much time on my hands in anycase but when glitch was around i worked a whole lot harder so i had more time so i like cleared up my whole week cse we have flexitime but now it closed so im bored :)
Turntable is an entertaining alternative, but it couldn't ever replace Glitch for me -- they're not comparable! Turntable isn't as fun if you don't have some friends on there to DJ with you, in my opinion, and most of my friends either can't be bothered to use it or are never online.
A few of my friends tried to get me to play Maplestory the other day because I was complaining about needing to kill some time, and I got a headache from the graphics and the entire experience in general. I feel like Glitch has ruined most online games for me; NOTHING IS GOOD ENOUGH ANYMORE. :(
Tumblr.
Paperwork.
Watching Horror movies with a group of friends, romance/fantasy with another friend.
Going to food trucks which are now an L.A. staple.
Planning how to survive carmageddon next weekend.
Preparing for my party the weekend after.
Plotting a time to go get my free piece from Godiva since it is now July.
Hiding in bushes to ogle hot men.
Tumblring more about hot men. And cats.
Harassing my cat.
Playing Words with Friends.
Maybe finally setting up my Wii again and FINALLY starting to play the bajillion games I've bought but haven't played yet.
Utilizing my free trial to Netflix.
Working, too.
Drawing.
Completing one of the EIGHT journals or workbooks I have (Wreck This Journal, Mess, This Is Not a Book, my Moleskine, Listography, Vs. Journal, All About Me, or 642 Things To Draw).
Eating my feelings.
Navigating Google+ and chastising all of my Facebook friends about how much Facebook sucks.
Maybe playing Zelda or Pilotwings on my 3DS a little more.
Etc.
Play other games, read as much of my library book as possible (it's so deep I can only read a chapter or two at a time) which is due the 12th, and clean like crazy the 11th. Oh and stalk here, hoping for a pretest test.
I have some paperwork and research (not work-related) to take care of this weekend, but other than that (and excluding the regular family and grocery shopping and housekeeping endeavors) I intend to engage in:
1. Reading marathon! I'm pretty much on track with my 2011 goal (whereas I was farther behind at this time last year) but I find myself reading less the past 6 weeks or so than I usually do. So I want to read as much as possible over the next several days. I also need to write a couple of reviews for Goodreads. (Which reminds me: If anyone is on Goodreads, my profile is linked here on my Glitch profile. I'd love to have some Goodreads/Glitch cross-over friends!)
2. I want to make some progress on my "teach myself to knit" project. Without going into a ton of maudlin detail, I have an autoimmune arthritis, and I can't do much fussy-fingered dexterity-based work when the weather is wrong. Living in the Pacific NW, even though it's supposedly summer we've only had like 3-5 days over 70F this year and frequent chilly rain. (It's 63F, overcast and drizzling right now, ending our warmish/dryish streak.) We are supposed to have some mild, not too damp weather this weekend, which might allow me to knit without my fingers locking up and aching too much.
3. I want to try to get in some time on the stepper, too, which while not being geeky is most definitely important to me. This often depends on similar conditions to #2 above, but with regards to how weather impacts my hip and knees as opposed to hands.
4. If I start itching for a game, I'll probably play a bit of Civilization 5 or continue learning UCO (Uncharted Waters Online, a free MMO based around trade, crafting, and exploration during the Age of Sail.)

I got waaaaaaay too much homework to even think about doing anything this week or next. Darn you higher education!
Also, it's funny how I can't seem to focus on homework when I know there's a Glitch test going on. :D
OMG the Cat Boat! I want a Borre of my very own! But it seems I can't have him, even if I wasn't in Chicago with two cats of my own... now I want to sponsor Dutch cats!
I came across the website LostCousins when I was viewing Snygyst's web page today. It was like entering a wormhole! Started with my Mom and am working my way backward.. already have found one great great grandparent (and a whole bunch of other people).. and no "pay or you ain't getting nuthin" like on Ancestry.com. It's been really fun!
+1 to Kingdom of Loathing, it's super!And thanks for reminding me I have a bunch of episodes of True Blood languishing on the DVR, KP! Oh wait, today's supposed to be dedicated to productivity. Darnit.
geoffreak: Minecraft = LEGENDARY acreditando: Heavy, terrible graphics, boring and slow. all of them :(

Well, to each their own...
...Anyway, if any of you guys are playing The Sims 3 with any expansion packs, stop immediately. Go play The Sims 1. Yes, that's what a Sims game without bugs feels like. Forgotten have you?
City of Heroes is really fun, and the character customisation is really something to admire.
I used to have a subscription, but because of school I wasn't playing it enough to justify the cost... So I can't wait 'til it goes to free-to-play either. My villain's over level six, so my name should be untouched when I get back.
Nutmeg its so much fun! I wish that it gave players more of en edge (Because I want to be a badass super powered hero) but I guess that would take away from the content just to add aesthetic. SUper torn between whether I'll be taking full advantage of my trial or playing glitchh
Villains are more mysterious and romantic. Plus they can pull off wearing black leather uniforms and still be taken seriously, unlike superheroes. You know, aside from Batman.
