22. No real e-mail. Usually, the first stop is DU for LBN

Then I check Kopete (a KDE's multiple IM client) for messages. After talking with friends a little on AIM, I'll sign on the MUD I play and play for a while. Then I'll usually come back to DU and read/post/follow-links-into-oblivion. I close out the session by reading the 2+2 Poker Forums.

From time-to-time, I'll check out a few other sites like Cockeyed.com or maybe a few sports sites.
