So...

- I’ve been watching a lot less TV lately, ever since Stargate finished. I have a tendency to sit in front of the telly during meals, so that’s something I’m going to work on. I’ve noticed that just switching the TV off and not always having my mp3 player on gives me more time to think and reflect on things, which is usually a good thing. I do enjoy documentaries and things like that so I’ll still watch them if they catch my attention. The sort of TV I want to avoid though is the sort of mindless crap that doesn’t really have any value at all and merely helps me to avoid painful feelings I don’t wish to experience. And so… time to turn off.
- The computer’s a whole other kettle of fish. Generally when I go on the computer I don’t feel that it’s mindless and passive in the way that television is. Yes, you’re still staring at a screen for hours (and yes, probably living vicariously) but it interactive and I am actively seeking out things that interest and stimulate me. Most of the time.
- Boooks. I like books. Less than I used to, but still, I like them. I have several teetering piles on the landing (I need another bookcase), stuff that I’d really like to read at some point. I adopted a new goal today: read more books. So instead of rotting in front of the telly, I is gonna lurrrn. ;)
- I really miss having an mp3 player. Music just doesn’t feel as personal and moving when it’s being played through computer speakers. I have to wait a month until my dad gets his bonus. Oh wellies. I think I’ll hunt out the CD player…
