While I am in danger of becoming a bit of a cliche with my current "lifestyle", I can honestly say that I am not missing television at all. I am yet to hook up my TV in my new apartment, even though in my last place I got hooked on my roommate's TiVo.
This is all the more odd since I am unemployed, and pre-disposed to watching lots of wrestling and Jerry Springer...literally the cornerstones of unemployment!
If the Iraq War II was the most televised in history, it was completely lost on me. I found that I was able to keep current with events almost solely via the internet.
I have actually been averaging almost a book a week as well, and filled a full journal book in just over a month. This has been stellar because it has allowed me to bypass all the shitty magazines and newspapers I used to get sucked into reading out of boredom. Viva.
