Life Without T.V.

We had some of our stuff shipped to Boston from Monterey about 2 weeks ago. Our friends left for Boston early and took some of our stuff with them. One vital thing that went with them was our television set (the DVD, PS2, VHS went also).

So, I've been without a T.V. for 2 weeks and I'm okay, you know?

It is a little weird to be eating dinner in front of the computer or while listening to NPR on the radio, but it's not that bad!

There weren't many T.V. shows that we were attached to, so I don't feel like I'm missing anything.

I'm not big on T.V. media, so I don't miss that. I do miss parts of PBS.

I've always admired my friends who live in Carmel who have 2 kids (teenagers) and they don't have a T.V. at all. Their kids actually read books and do their homework.

We go to the movies more often and I have started writing again, so there are upsides. Not to mention that I don't feel stressed and innundated by the T.V. news any more.

I can't say that I've been more productive or anything, but I think I like being without.

So, could you be without T.V.?
