[Cadaverous Pallor]

I used to read the paper every morning at breakfast, a tradition that started when I was 14. A lot of that was comic strips, but I did read some actual news sometimes too.

I got bored of the comics and I got sick of the news, and GD never read the paper at all. Like he said, the Replay got rid of our need for a TV schedule, and Fandango/MovieTickets.com got rid of our need for movie listings, one of my old requirements.

I'm starting to think that even just getting the Sunday paper is a waste. It's so cheap though. If there is a cheaper, once-a-month alternative, I'll take it. I do love having newsprint around to use as paper.

So now I read my book at breakfast, or sometimes check email etc, and I don't even miss the paper at all.
