Let's see. I'll buy a crate of beer on the way home and I've got an xbox next to my PC. I guess that means I've got a weekend of erecting POSs ahead of me!
99% of my life in eve revolves around watching slow progress bars count down to zero. It does mean I'll get some more progress into my goal of playing all the sandbox games that have been released on the next gen consoles (unfortunately especially the bad ones) and comparing how they implement different features and what MMOs either give or could take from them. The things I do for art, although I'm sure that I'm pushing the definition of art quite far by saying that.
MMOs are far closer to sandbox games like GTA than they are to RPGs, there's not much difference with running around looking for CDs or Orbs or whatever than there is doing the same looking for Ore spawns beyond them not being in fixed spaces and spawn forever. Both types of game also have the "entertain yourself" mentality that I think we all must love.
