What do you do when you listen to music?

Sometimes I just listen, actually these are the best times. I have also scheduled days where I will sit down and listen to music from the early morning 5-6am until noon, do something outside and repeat after supper until late into the night. I have had friends over who think I am crazy, until they sit in the music room, then they too can sit there for hours just listening.

When not evaluating some element of the music or equipment, I browse reading materials or just lay back on my listening seat and enjoy.
If on the other hand, I am trying something new or trying to ascertain if something in the system is not doing the right thing ,e.g. a tube swirling the drain, I actually sit slightly forward staring intently at my setup for as long as is necesarry, to figure out what the issue is.
BTW staring at the equipment rarely yields an answer but I can't seem to concentrate on the sonics without fixing my gaze. I know many close their eyes or dim the light but I am usually tired and find myself waking up the next morning, with the equipment on. This can be very bad if I was using a turntable. Cartridges with paper covered styli rarely sound good.
I imagine this would be the case for many- either just relaxing with or without reading etc. or concentrating on the sonics.
I rarely get up and dance, I was never a dancer and now I am an old fart, or do Kareoke (sp?). Although its hard to resist trying to sing "vincerro"at the end of a good rendition of Nesum Dorma.

Unfortunately, I have gotten into the nasty habit of being on the computer so that I never can tell what the stereo image is. I used to sit and read, mostly magazines, before. The best experience, though, is when the music is it and simply sweeps you away and time almost stands still. I have to get back to better lestening habits!

I've got my mac mini hooked up to a panasonic plasma in my listening room - I surf the net while playing music thru Itunes(I've ripped all my favorite tracks - about 2000 songs lossless to the mac mini) - I stop when i'm in the mood to really listen to certain tracks - of course most of the time i'm surfing about info audio (I visit audiogon,ebay (local geographic home audio area search) and craigslist) I read audioasylum and audiogon forums regularly - I can sit for hours on end this way

I listen to a disc every evening after dinner. I just sit in my leather recliner in my music room and get lost in the music. No reading, no internet, no television. Just the music.
