live without a television for a year

As of 10 days ago, I can now say that I’ve lived without a television for a year. Needless to say, I don’t miss it at all. Not even the shows that I thought I couldn’t live without. Strange how little quality of life is affected by all of a sudden all of a sudden not being able to repeat the jokes I heard on Jon Stewart last night.

I have no plans to get a television anytime soon… when I feel like vegging out a bit I can instead enjoy watching movies on my wall with my projector.

On April 17th, 2004, I moved into a new place that didn’t have a television. I immediately sorely missed Jon Stewart’s Daily Show and Celebrity Poker. Now, I’ve compensated with a healthy dose of Netflix on my PowerBook. I think it’s going to be easy peasy to make it to next April, and may go the rest of my life without a television—I don’t miss it one bit.
