If you haven't discovered Netflix, you should

I love Netflix! It's pretty much my favorite stress reliever. This venerable slot used to be occupied by books (merely gazing adoringly at them or reading them), but when you're a graduate student working on a PhD, more reading is pretty much the last thing you want to do to relax. Netflix occupies two relaxation niches I didn't even know I had: 1.) It allows me to watch TV shows I've either missed because I don't have cable or because I have a life, and 2.) Access to guilty pleasure movies, like My Stepmother's an Alien and Crocodile Dundee (I and II, thank you very much). Nathan used to think I was crazy for watching so-called-mindless movies, but now that he's in a Masters program, he understands the alure. Anything that keeps you sane.
