Doodle on neighboring planets?
Re-read some of the old books/civilizations they have lying around. (Opening the history of China somewhere in the middle, re-living the lives of a few hundred million people for a while, making a marginal note: "shoemaker Xien had a darn good idea there, better add it to my next artwork").
Hang out in Infinite Fun Space, as described by Iain M. Banks (the Minds of his books build and simulate entire mathematical universes in their minds - an addictively fun hobby, apparently).
Make neutron stars to collide into gamma ray bursters as part of the ongoing joke "make primitive astrophysicists confused".
