A few suggestions for passing the time.
Books:
The Night angel Trilogy is awesome assassin fantasy.
The black prism. Another book by the same author of the night angel series. I think its better than the night angle books, the only problem is that only the first book is out and its supposed to be a series (this is a problem for me because i'm going insane with impatience waiting for the next one).
Net shows:
TED talks are awesome!
Video game High School. Its pretty good, even has epic mealtime man as the principal.
TV:
Breaking Bad
Invader Zim
Samurai Jack
(Hoho has a very good list)
