I hate TV
When my father moved back into my (tiny) duplex, he had the cable turned back on. Why my father has moved back into my house is a brilliant story in and of itself. I'll get to that another time. I had gone without television for a little over a year and I learned to love it. I even learned to love saying "I don't have cable" when people would ask me if I had seen a new show or commercial. While I was doing efy, Dad moved back in and turned the cable back on. I didn't think much of it, that I wouldn't even really watch it. I got back to my house and didn't really watch anything Sunday, almost as if I had forgotten how to use a television. Then Monday rolled around. I turned it on around 10am and I have no idea how long I watched TV. It was embarrassing. Me wasting all that time is only one reason I don't like TV. As I was watching different shows and lots of commercials, I realized that one reason people are so messed up is because they watch television. Of course given my women's studies background, I noticed that there is a lot on TV directed at women. It makes me kind of sick. I can't wait until I go back to work and school so I'm gone all day. Maybe then I can tear myself away. Go read a book.

See...you just have to learn self-control...you get three shows; decide on three during the week that you love and then watch them. That is a healthy amount. Well, plus Ellen if you're home during that time, which I never am. Mostly I'm rambling just so I can be commenting, but no matter how much T.V. you watch, you are the greatest and so funny and I love you.
