listersgirlLast year, after cancelling my cable, I still ended up watching a fair amount of TV - downloading certain things, watching the few channels that I could get. Mostly it just cut back on the channel surfing - there's no joy in flipping channels when you only get 6, and have to get up to adjust the antenna differently for each one.
But this summer, other than SYTYCD, I haven't been watching TV at all. There hasn't even been anything I wanted to download. And although I still have some stuff on my computer, waiting to be watched, I've really lost the habit to a certain extent. And it's pretty amazing to me both how much time this frees up (which I'm just filling with more reading, but the concept is there), and how much easier it is for me to get going again once I've sat down. Both TV and the computer (which, well, I'm probably spending even more time there, sadly) suck me in and drag me into a sort of stupor. But today, because I didn't ever fire up the DVD player, I finished a book and then got up and did my dishes and made lunch for tomorrow, and then later, after reading some more, I actually did some pilates. It's crazy.
Of course, it's September, the new season is starting, and my EW Fall Preview guide arrived today. I don't think TV will completely disappear for me. But it was interesting while it lasted.
