This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for June 26, 2008:
Sad to say but TV. I won't even like what I'm watching but I'll sit there in a zombie stupor watching the pretty lights and the unrealistic made up scenerios. I become anxious to find out what will come next. Seriously, it one of the biggest reasons why I run late and why I don't do things. It's like a drug to me. I become addicted and it's a major distraction from my life, not that my life is awful, I enjoy my life. I don't know, maybe this is something I need to think about more. I wonder how much of ours lives do we miss watching reruns? I think I'm going to add this to my goal list.

I completely agree! Television holds a strange hypnotic power over me. Whenever someone is talking to me and the TV is on, I can't concentrate on the conversation. I literally have to turn the TV off to become even remotely articulate again. When I was in college, I didn't own a television. Now, it's going to take a serious effort for me to pry myself away from it. It sounds like we both need help. Good luck!
Amber, there is nothign wrong wiht a little television. Maybe you need a subscription to Netflix or something, I know I used to be worried about missing shows, but as soon as I got Netflix (and a TiVo) I stopped thinking “I need to be home at 8 PM Monday in order to watch this show”.
