Participate in TV Turnoff Week 2008 (read all 3 entries…)
For me, next week. 7 months ago

I’ve gotten conflicting info on the dates for this.

And maybe I am just being stupid, but I find the website to be very unhelpful. Seems like the first page should list this year’s dates. And that all the supposed links there should be, oh, I don’t know, clickable? I do a lot of successful online research, so I don’t think it’s me. Shrug.

Anyway, my son’s school is doing TV turnoff week next week, not this week, so I’ll be participating next week.

Its this week

TV Turn Off Week has evolved into Mental Detox Week, at least according to adbusters, who had started it. Mental Detox Week is about turning off all the media sources that expose us to advertising, misleading sound bites, social isolation and procrastination. http://www.adbusters.org/metas/psycho/mdw/

aha!

Thanks for the clarification.

I’m still going to do it next week, though, since that’s when my son will be doing it. (He’s on April vacation this week, so his school is doing it next week.)

I rarely watch TV—almost never live, usually just shows on DVD once every week or two. But it’s the internet that sucks my time. I am looking forward to a productive week next week!

funniculee thinks she might be getting it together.

I'll be joining you this coming week...

...since I totally punted on this goal this week. Sigh. I’ve got a problem.

I’m just telling myself that I’m celebrating…”Orthodox TV Turn-off Week”. You know, like Orthodox Easter.

yay! company!

Company in addition to the sulky males in my house, that is! :D

I don’t think it matters when you celebrate it, as long as you do it. It’s the spirit of it, you know?

When I sign off tonight (4/26), I’ll be off Sunday to Saturday, so I’ll sign in again Sunday May 3rd.
