Oh yeah, and this week, from April 22nd to 28th, is TV Turnoff Week.

Hard to do, as I'd already been thinking about several shows I want to see this week.

On the other hand, I really need to get to the gym and make use of that rather sizable fee that I give them every month. And my outside plants needs to be tended, and my room needs to be cleaned, and, and, and ...

Darn it. I was free of the tv for a long time ... I think I went back partly out of loneliness and partly because my apartment is so well-suited to watching tv - the couch and comfy chair are positioned directly in front of the tv, the light slants in without a glare on the screen, and, well, it's the first thing I think of doing when I get home from work.

No more. The tv will not be turned on this week. I have too much else to do with my life to spend it in front of the boob-tube (a term my mother uses often).
