Music: http://unmode.com A good route to the flow state. Still spend altogether too much time staring at computers though. Bouldering is fun.

At the risk of painting myself in a negative light: I drink. I go out with friends, throw back some tasty cocktails/beer/Scotch/wine, and vent about my day/week/whatever. Depending on my mood, I'll either be one-on-one/two/three with a few close friends and lay it all out, or go out with a larger group and just use the alcohol to take my mind off things. Healthy? Jury's still out. Effective? Yup.

I guess many might like to portray their lifestyle as exercising regularly, having deep and intellectual conversations while socializing (without alcohol, because it's a social lubricant ), learning foreign languages, and snacking on carrots and brocolli with yogurt dip when they want to treat themselves. ...but I think most people would consider your lifestyle to be quite reasonable and balanced. :)
