    Smoke weed, mess around on Gawker, jerk off. Not in that particular order - actually, exactly in that order, except that sometimes I do two or even all 3 at once.

    I have basically the same post-work schedule every night.

    (1) I get home, grinding my teeth, toss my keys and wallet down somewhere on the floor/in my bed where I won’t be able to find them the following morning.

    (2) I play PS4 for an hour or so, allowing the virtual violence to discharge my pent-up feelings and soothe me.

    (3) I cook something boring or order in something gross.

    (4) I watch an episode of TV or a movie.

    (5) I get in bed around 930 or 10 and read until I fall asleep until around midnight.

    (6) Almost every single night I have an anxiety dream about having forgotten to attend a class required to graduate

    Sometimes I’ll go to the gym and lift giant weights to perfect my frame and if so that’ll take the place of (4)

    REPEAT UNTIL DEATH

      I’m 47 and I have this dream once a month. It is usually an English class that I have not read a single book for and have two days to catch up.

    I cook as many noodles as I can before midnight so that way I have them.

    Here’s a more detailed answer:

    On most nights, my boyfriend and I watch Chris Hayes and Rachel Maddow while contemplate cooking dinner and then eventually cooking dinner. In college, my roommates and I used to watch a lot of cable news at night and for some reason we had a blast doing it so I find it weirdly comforting, and during election season it can get fun and dumb. If I get home first I might put on a baseball game just as background noise.

    After dinner, we usually try and settle on some program we both want to watch. If we have a show, that’s easy. Some nights I really want to watch some game (basketball or football depending on the season) so I might commandeer the TV but I try not to do that too often. That said, I find few things more enjoyable than smoking a bowl and watching a west coast basketball game.

    If I do that, my boyfriend will make music or practice DJing, or hang on the couch with me while he does some work. If we’re hanging around and have no good ideas about what to do I might pop in GTA V or the last version of NCAA Football I keep around.

    If it’s nice out we’ll go to the roof and smoke a bowl, which is just about the most pleasant thing you can do in New York.

      Have you ever considered vaping the weed instead? I’m not trying to push a product or anything, but I seriously would never consider going back to flames after figuring out which vape works for me.

      The lack of a need for flame indoors or out alone was a game changer. But the real bonus has been the removal of all smoke.

    Drink heavily and remember that life is ok! Except sometimes my wife tells me not to drink, and on those nights I patiently await death. Ya know, like a totally well adjusted adult.

      Thanks! I’m actually working on a series of steps to really curb my drinking in the upcoming months. It sounds like the exact opposite of fun! But unless my wife is swallowing increasing large melons whole every day as some sort of elaborate prank, there’s a baby in her, so I can either get better or be kind of a piece of shit. I’m electing to get better. Kill me now..

    I take the subway that’s a long walk from my apartment home so I can add an extra mile of exercise to my day, then I stop and get dinner on the last block (Just Salad, usually) because waiting until I get home to cook / order something is too late. Of all the terrible things about New York, the weird eating dinner past 8pm thing is probably the worst.

    Then I take my bucket of salad and watch something on Netflix or Hulu that’s mostly embarrassing: Hart of Dixie or Extreme Weight Loss or something else clearly marketed toward sad women in their 30s eating a bowl of salad on the floor in a small apartment.

    Then I check in with my boyfriend, deal with Slack hysteria, take a bath (while watching more Hart of Dixie or another weight loss show), do final pre-bed Slack, maybe call boyfriend again if I’m bored with TV, turn off lights, turn on Friends, fall asleep 9 minutes into the first episode. All by 10:30.

    I may not be cool, but I’m well-rested enough so that I can wake up at 6:30am mostly ready to handle all the Slack notifications on my phone.

    My girlfriend and I ask each other “So what do you want to do tonight?” after dinner nearly every night that we’re both home. Usually, the answer is playing cards, watching TV (lately if we feel like smoking weed it’s Portlandia; if we don’t it’s Friends), hanging out on our stoop if it’s nice enough, watching a movie if it’s early enough, maybe a short bike ride. Have a beer or two.

    If she’s out for the evening, I generally spend it working on music or reading a book. Usually in bed by 11, asleep by midnight or so.

    get a fking hobby.

    Really. I don’t understand this way of life. I barely have enough time to ever watch television. - but i do, and it’s usually DVRd Stewart and the odd motor race. Once in a while there is time for a feature length picture. Music (in a band and listening), side-projects etc. So many of YOU seem to be complaining about life in this city, low pay, small apts, but no one ever appears to be doing anything about it.

    If I were as unhappy as many of you report, I’d be busting my ass, trying to change my life.

    .. adding that I do play video games, but it’s been ages since anything worthwhile has captured my attention.

      Surely, you can be more original than that. And I love that you called me, the 45 year old father of two, a hipster. It’s almost as good as being carded at a bar.

    I watched First Up on Bloomberg TV last night, and I have no idea why. I don’t have a portfolio, and I only follow market trends as they relate to things like how badly Microsoft or Netflix is fucking up. Disney’s new, worse outlook apparently shocked entertainment markets into a panic.

    For a while I was spending way too much money buying iTunes movies and then almost never watching them. I own 87 movies on iTunes now.

    A few times during the winter, I went outside to smoke, even though I don’t smoke, or enjoy smoking, and then I came back inside and threw up.

    I started playing Diablo 3 on my Xbox again, because it’s repetitive and soothing and I can do that until my body allows me a few hours of sleep, which is much better than being awake. I’m paragon level 308.
