Like the title says.
Post things that are interesting and fun to do that are ABSOLUTELY FREE (yes playing music does count but every time I pick up my bass the GAS starts to seep out)
Internet links, books you can get from your library, cool places to hike, ect. (and for you internet pirates out there, no torrent shit...besides keeping it a 100% is half the challenge)
That said:
www.penny-arcade.com www.toothpastefordinner.com two favorite webcomics that are good for a half an hour of reading or 5 minuets
and I love watching people play video games on
www.ustream.com all of the entertainment and half the work.

The Gallery of Regrettable Food is always good for a cheap laugh..can't remember the link, but if you Google it, you should find it straightaway.
uh...random music-related YouTube searchings...lessee..... Rubik's Cube/Gordian's Knot puzzles?

I hate to be that guy but masturbation is a great way to eat up time.
Besides games, Adultswim.com has a lot of shows, so does hulu
Crossword Puzzles:
http://www.boatloadpuzzles.com/playcrossword (not the hardest puzzles and they get repetitive after a while)
ToothpasteForDinner.com hilarious web comic with eight years of comics in the archives.
Writing short stories can be a good way to be productive, so can seeing how long you can hold your breath.
You could also try to come up with a list of things to do when you're broke.

When I was unemployed for a year I made it my mission to beat Final Fantasy IV using my own save file. Back when it was still known as Final Fantasy II, I made it to near the end, got my ass severely kicked, and then proceeded to use my friend's save file to see the ending. I simply could not be bothered with earning enough experience points to beat all those god damn dragons and head things at the end. For the next 15 years, I always felt like I was lacking as a person since I cheated like that, and never had enough time to play the game again until I was without work. So I proved it to myself that yes, I could beat Zeromus without relying on the kindness of strangers.
Because you gotta have goals.
