By "read", of course, I assume you mean read the internet. (Does anybody actually read books anymore?)

Listen to records and drink whiskey.

And this, folks, is why we are ranked 17th in the world in education outcomes.

Work...

Lurk on the internet

I voted "Party" because... um...

Nevermind.

XD

Submit to more work (but at least get paid for it), while doing various thingies on the internet, only leaving the house for meaningless errands.

Watch my five year old play and wonder if I ever had that much energy and if so what the heck happened to it...oh yea, she did.

go to work

Shop on Woot!

Rrad....yes actual books. and lurk the web too. holding head in disgrace.

I work evenings. Not everyone is "9 to 5".

I study and do other various military-academy-student-not-allowed-to-have-fun things.

Learn new Sciency things from places like Wikipedia (while listening to a movie or music in the background).

I make intricately-woven mosaic tile bead bracelets...cuz there's never enough to go around!

Gossip with my girlfriends. (:

I work a second job as a freelance writer (first baby on the way!!!). If I don't produce, I don't get paid! For a break, I'll play some quick video games to clear my head.

Television, in its modern incarnation, is the bane of society. And RPG games, gotta lump those in, too. An occasional TV show or movie may not be bad, but hours of mind-numbing drivel that could be spent bettering yourself or actually parenting children are wasted on the tube. And how many hours have you spent "leveling up" you character (I include my younger self in this) when you could be gaining real life "experience points" leveling yourself up?!

I would contend that it is because we rely on the gov't to provide education. They rarely get things right. Republicans AND Dems. $16 trillion, anyone?

Drink scotch and smoke a cigar before watching TV.

After returning to school as a part time math grad student, most evenings I am studying math.

Play music.

Clean the house, do the laundry, cook dinner, watch some Netflix, then read a book to fall asleep.

I make dinner and take care of my almost 3yo. Many evenings also include dishes, cleaning, or laundry. I read on my Kindle Paperwhite or watch a show on my Kindle Fire HD after son goes to sleep, and then I'm so tired that I crash myself. I miss being a night owl!

Cook Dinner...

use the computer

HA HA HA, have you seen "Waiting for Superman"?

It really varies for me. Many night I'm working on reports. Some nights I watch Netflix (no cable here), some nights I play video games, some nights I lurk on the internet, and sometimes I read. I don't think I have a "typical" evening really.

Whaaaa? Aaaaah. I was just resting my eyes.

I watch TV and Woot!
