Me, me me! I turned the tv off over a year ago. I stopped reading the first section of the newspaper as well.
I was out with friends one evening and we all wanted to be home to watch Lost. I thought is was kind of pathetic that I was planning my social life around tv. So i decided to start renting tv programs at the end of the season and watch them on my own time and without commercials. I even cancelled HBO and Showtime because I can even rent their shows. I love my new freedom and actually rarely rent the tv shows now either.
Right now I'm reading the last Augustin Burroughs book, can't remember the name. He is amusing and a quick read. I always have a stack of books to read. Next on my list is Lif of Pi. My sis and BIL are both english profs so they pass along tons of good reads.
