Whither Television
A few days ago, Noel and I noticed that we basically don't watch TV any more.
We moved down from DirecTV to cable because we couldn't justify the channels we were paying for, and now we rarely even turn the TV on (This Old House is in reruns). Most of what is on does not appeal to us (reality TV or crime/drama shows) or is on when we're doing other things (um, like, everything). I think the only time we've watched TV in the last three months was on a Friday evening when we wanted to relax and be entertained, and were not feeling up to going to the store to pick up a video.
It's funny how TV makes you rearrange your life. Even if you go to the expense of something like TiVo, you still have to make time to watch what you record. That's time that we fill up with things like running around in the yard with the dog like a pair of fools, doing weird art projects, or browsing around on the web finding new sorts of weird art projects to do (well, me at least).
So Noel was suggesting that when I go away to CalPoly in the fall, he would get the cable shut off. And I said, "Why wait until fall?"
That was when the INS knocked on the door to revoke our citizenship.
