Team Fortress is really a wonderful gaming experience. My little account management thingo says I've spent far more hours on it than I'm entirely comfortable admitting. I'm balancing it out by doing lots of schoolwork, honest.
I'm therefore also balancing out the schoolwork by listening to lots and lots of husky females.
Mm.
Norah Jones. Feist. Amanda Palmer of the Dresden Dolls. Rachel Yamagata. Amy Lee. Tori Amos. Sia. Jem. Regina Spektor. Ellen McLain, who is technically a soprano, but sings in a voice that I guarantee none of you have ever heard before.
I'm balancing that out by sleeping much more than I suppose is strictly necessary, but practically a given based on the amount of estrogen I'm being exposed to aurally. (I wish it could be the homophone of the previous, but alas)
I balance the sleeping by doing a fair amount of reading, which stimulates the mind and heightens the vocabulary. A notable gem I've discovered is Rock Paper Shotgun, a gaming blog run by a bunch of real life journalists with an irreverant sense of humor and an update rate that would put this man to shame. (If you have any interest in games whatsoever, Rock Paper Shotgun should be something to add to your daily reading list. It is truly something.)
I balance the reading about games by playing Team Fortress. And so the circle of life moves onwards.

Hope you don't mean Jem and the Holograms :P
Happily I do not. Jem is a Welsh singer who sings upbeat rockish ballads and is happily in the alto range of singers. She has been compared to Dido and Imogen Heap.
