5$\begingroup$ Your friend was ... being a jerk. Why couldn't he just tell you what he was doing instead of wasting his time and yours on silly ciphers? ;) $\endgroup$– Rubio ♦Commented Oct 29, 2016 at 15:08

It's a
ROT-1 cipher:
- hundred hundred hundred
- good men good men
- the singing rain
- one flew
cuckoos nest
- paamericanris
- mutiny
bounty
- saplaceun
Now we just have to make sense of this:
Credit to C. Woods for noting this is a rebus where the answers are movie titles: (and also providing all solutions)
1. 300
2. A Few Good Men
3. Singing in the Rain
4. One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest
5. American in Paris
6. Mutiny on the Bounty
7. A Place in the Sun
So the final answer is
He was watching the movies listed above

3$\begingroup$ These look like those rebus puzzles, where each answer is a movie title: 1. 300 2. A Few Good Men 3. Singing in the Rain 4. One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest 5. American in Paris 6. Mutiny on the Bounty. 7. A Place in the Sun $\endgroup$– C. WoodsCommented Oct 29, 2016 at 14:23

$\begingroup$ 'One flew' above 'Cukoos Nest' = one flew over the cukoos nest $\endgroup$ Commented Oct 29, 2016 at 14:24

$\begingroup$ @C.Woods Seems like that's the solution. You can either post an answer for this or I can just make my post a community wiki and you can edit it in. Let me know :P $\endgroup$– user14478Commented Oct 29, 2016 at 14:26

Maybe your friend was:
Watching movies?
@LukasRotter worked out it was a ROT-1 cipher for
It's just a ROT-1 cipher:
- hundred hundred hundred
- good men good men
- the singing rain
- one flew
cuckoos nest- paamericanris
- mutiny
bounty- saplaceun
These are rebuses for movie titles:
Ones I've worked out:
- 300 (three hundreds)
- A few good men (a couple of 'good men')
- Singing in the rain (singing inbetween the and rain)
- One flew over the cuckoos nest ('One flew' above 'cuckoos nest')
- Mutiny on the Bounty (Mutiny on 'Bounty')
@LukasRotter got the rest:
- An American in Paris ('American' in 'Paris')
- A Place in the Sun ('A place' in 'sun')
