National Turn Off The TV Week: 4 Days Without TV or What Hath God Wrought?
I'm about halfway through my non-watching TV week today. I posted a blog with questions about turn off the TV week a couple of days ago and promptly received answers from the Center for Screen-Time Awareness, so all's well on the TV front. I haven't cheated, not even by accident, and I'm not missing it at all.
I am feeling kind of out of it, I listen to the news and look at it on-line, but I still had to be told at Sunoco today about the tornado in Texas. I don't think I'll buy the newspaper, I don't like the local paper and am not sure where I can buy current copies of the ones I do like.
The only hard part for me is being such a poor sleeper, I woke up at 4 last night and couldn't get back to sleep. Normally when I can't sleep, I put in a movie, but DVDs are also verboten this week. Instead, I put away clothes and continued the massive project to move the vintage clothes, shipping supplies, etc. to my office, reclaiming my dining room at last (hallelujah). I did that for a couple of hours then read for a bit and then back to sleep.
I have read a few books this week, but nothing of value; just schmaltzy page-turners from the 70's and early 80's (which, let's face it, I love). I have the Lee Iacocca book on hold at the library, so I'll run over to pick it up today. I also have the American Hardcore DVD on hold, but I'll have to wait to watch it until Sunday.
