I am watching the season finale of The Tudors 5 days ago

I figure since I watched the first three weeks (6 episodes), I may as well finish it. Next Sunday, I can have a TV-free evening. I will think twice before getting involved in a new series.

I notice that I am not that engaged with this program tonight. My eyes keep wandering to 43 Things on the laptop.

Damn you, ABC. 2 weeks ago

..And all the other major networks. Hulu, too, while I’m damning things. I watch entirely too much TV, and instead of weaning myself, I’m actually drawing my boyfriend into doing the same thing. At least I’m not watching alone, right? ..Right?

Still turning the dam thing on without realising.

Watching less tv has been doing wonders for me! I have more time to dedicate to my hobbies. Sometimes I have the tv on just for background noise. When I listen to it, I realize how stupid a lot of shows really are.

Plus the advertusing is very obnoxious. Network TV is like one non-stop advertisement. Buy buy buy. No wonder I like Coke and McDonalds big macs! The TV has brainwashed me into thinking these are things I need in order to lead a fulfilling life. It’s all a lie. All I need, beyond the basic necessities, is the love of friends and family and a purpose which connects me with the universe. Sorry McDonalds, you fill me, but do not fulfill me. Which reminds me of a quote from Fight Club:

“You’re not your job. You’re not how much money you have in the bank. You’re not the car you drive. You’re not the contents of your wallet. You’re not your f$#@!#$ khakis. You’re the all-singing, all-dancing crap of the world.”

Been watching less tv lately. I’ve cut out the show I really used to watch just because I was bored. It has taken some conscious effort.

Oh Dear Sweetness –
It’s a slight punch to the solar plexus when you realize you’re watching the same “Office” episode that you’ve seen not once, but twice already. In the middle of the afternoon. And that you were up late last night watching reruns of Law and Order SVU and CSI and True Blood, instead of actually doing something – anything. Going for a walk. Doing your laundry. Cleaning out your fridge or making that long-overdue apology or uploading your photos from the weekend. It’s easier than showing up, engaging, sitting around watching a piece of furniture. Wow. Just – wow. This needs to end.
