Snowed in activies... suggestions?

I'm taking suggestions as to what to do while I'm snowed in.

The point is to find some activites that will let me procrastinate the work I'm supposed to do...

So -- here are the parameters...

I live in a normal, third-floor apartment. Two bedrooms, a living room, kitchen etc.. The activies need to happen in the building, but can include the hallway, laundryroom or basement garage.

I have three cats that can be included in the activies, but not harmed by them. Two of the three are elderly, thus not much fun. The third may be borderline mentally handicapped -- but he's active and fun....

I have cable TV and high-speed internet, which I am not at all above using. I also have a bunch of DVDs.

I have a pretty well-stocked kitchen.

I prefer activites that are fairly short (30 minutes or less), so that I can get more work done -- or procrastinate in a wider variety of ways.
