Boredom might kill me

I am currently at my gf's place, she is sick and sleeping, and I have no sketchpad or games with me. Any cool apps for mac that might pass the time?


The line between genius and insanity is so thin, how does one know when they cross it, or to which side they're crossing?

    They've got some surprisingly cool games. I saw my roomate playing a first person shooter, which was the last thing I expected to see.

    They have a bubble popping game that is supposed to be really addicting, too.

    This might not be your thing, but I've lost hours to this flash game: http://www.ferryhalim.com/orisinal/g3/bells.htm. Just make sure you can hear the audio. Also, it's pretty soothing so you may find yourself drifting off to sleep to dream of a magical, snowy land in which bunnies can defy gravity.

    Wikipedia.
    "Random Page"
    ?
    PROFIT!

    Seriously, you can kill infinite time on Wikipedia, and learn something in the process. Random Page is awesome for when you don't really care about what you are learning. Just wander links for 2 minutes and you'll find something cool.

    I love that site! I've spent hours racking up scores well into the tens of millions on the game with the little bear with the umbrella who has to float over traffic.

    I've also whiled away many an hour on bubble shooter. There's bound to be an online flash version of bomberman too, if you're into that.

    http://www.kongregate.com/ has a good number of quality flash games, and there's always http://www.hulu.com/ which still has the entirety of Arrested Development.
