    Having spent some time in jail, I'll have to disagree. It was only three weeks, but it seemed like forever. And some asshole stole my shoes the day before I got out.

    With books you can still use your imagination, with video games, there is not much imagination, imo
    I'll have to disagree. In fact, video games actually help improve brain function. Some of them require LOTS of imagination. The best ones are real-time strategy games. These are very good for improving neuroplasticity. The right games engage your brain on several levels. It has been shown that they can also prevent Alzheimers disease.

    Some of those role-playing games are excellent brain stimulation. But long hours of playing aren't not so great for physical conditioning.

    If you've come close to death, as you and I both have, time is a treasured commodity that seems sometimes to fly faster than you can run to catch it.

    VS reading a book.... Really?

    Cite some of these studies you speak of, if you don't mind......

    Half of what I've done lately has been killing time. When your miserable, reading manga, streaming shows from Hulu, dinking around on the internet, and planning for vacation are the most of it. When I've felt better, cooking was something I've done. I've started making fresh bread again, but since I'm not energetic enough to knead all my stuff by hand like I enjoy, I aim more for quick breads. Although I made a really good yeast bread, made with Red's blood orange ale, Hawaiian rum salt, and pink peppercorn. Use cold water, and let the yeast bloom slowly, for better flavor.

    It may have been a slow three weeks but you killed it.
