The screen has been dark for a month now...

I stopped watching during Memorial Day weekend with the goal of no t.v. for the summer and it has been surprisingly easy to get used to. The set is turned on for my thrice-weekly movie rentals and nothing else. (Okay, so there was a low moment at 3am a few weeks ago when I thought ‘hey, I’ll just tune into CNN for a minute since I can’t sleep anyway’. I promptly turned it off due to lack of interest).
My primary motivation was to find other, more active things to do with my time. As winterinjuly predicted, my time spent tooling around the internet has skyrocketed instead. I suspect my next goal should be something along the lines of “socializing with people IRL”.
