I am thinking of trying to watch less tv maybe but in the Autumn and Winter I end up slobbing out in front of the tv in the evenings. what are things to do that arent watching tv when its cold outside??

Uhm, well, I'm a winter/fall person so I go for walks usually, but since I've moved I don't really haave anywhere to walk and the houses around here are under 20 years olds and are ugly as sin. So. Read? Watch more movies? Take up alcoholism?

That's very popular where I am. It's cold here for more than half the year.

I like to

• cook/invent new recipes
• read
• modge podge
• work on christmas presents eventually
• go for walks
• visit people in warmer places
• take long bubble baths
• watch movies- but that might count as watching the tv?

The days are so dark so early already.

i haven't watched telly in like 3 weeks unless someone was at my house watching it.

mostly because the tv is usually set to the channel you watch dvds on and not a channel you can watch telly on.

that is how lazy i am.

i just drink a lot and read internet?

i havent watched tv in three weeks either. my new apt. gets three channels. fuck that.
i smoke more

oh man i really wish there was a 12 step program to not watching tv. i mean, i can think of much better things to do but watching tv is so fucking easy. clickyclicklcik

I went about a year without watching tv. I didn't miss it as I watched a lot of films. Now I like having it, becuase I find that I ponder things too much when not mindlessly distracted. I do watch tv, but not really network shows. Oddly enough I watch some crap -- like Rock of Love. Mainly I watch home repair / decorating shows or court tv or animal documentaries. I keep planning to start embroidery. I got some cool patterns on sublimestiching.com and it SEEMS like it is easy. Anyone know? I like to do my nails becuase it keeps me concentrating ondoing something that takes little brain power. Whebn I have more space ( buying a condo I hope) I plan to so some painting and collage work.


Whatever you do ----
GEt yourself some whole cloves and cinnamon sticks and oranges and vanilla. Every winter I simmer these ingredients ( just the peel of the orange) to make my place smell divoone.

i watch a fuck-lot of tv, and there is NOTHING wrong with that.

the last thing i need is some righteous hippy prick telling me that tv rots my soul and makes me lazy and stupid.
uh
not so - hellew???

anyway whatever, i watch a bunch of tv, so sue me - at least i'm not out causing trouble, you know?
and don't insult my intelligence by telling me tv will make me stupid - thanks but i'll be in charge of my own brain.

p.s
i am so fucking excited about the new series of Hell's Kitchen starting next tuesday - 7.30pm tv 2 fucking A i am totally booked for this.

oh hunny you are so right. one can watch tv on a regular and still be f-a-b-a-l-o-u-s! and totally deep, spiritual, and well read at the same time!


ps- me and my irl hag have antm wednesdays which include watching of antm, fattening nibbles, cocktails and talking about peoples dicks and gossips. i live, I LIVE

Yeah I don't think I've ever heard someone say "I don't watch TV" without sounding like they thought they were really fucking cool because of it.

But yeah, cutting down if you want to can be hard. I know about this. But there's no hope for me now because my boyfriend got me a remote control for my birthday because I didn't have one and I was always bitching and swearing whenever I had to get off my ass to change the channel of adjust the volume. Now my lounging capabilities are fucking like bunnies. Bunnies!

I don't think movies count. You should subsribe to Netflix. Then you can still be sitting in front of your TV without watching TV. You can even rent seasons of TV shows then you don't spend as much time watching shows because of no commercials.

I was trying to cut down on magazine reading for a while, but then I said FUCK THAT SHIT.

i would so love to do that.


thing you could do other than teevee

learn to knit
more dioramas
mat and frame works of art
100 crunches a day (i'm planning on this as soon as i can get past twenty!)
crossword puzzles, regular puzzles
board games with friends, charades with friends
dinner parties
improve the house... paint do a backsplash in the kitchen
learn to make difficult pastries (and then airmail them to me)

That's my favourite past time.

Watch dvds

i love playing games! reed hates it so i dont get the chance. i cant wait until seth is old enouh. ill play games with him every night.

we took out our cable two and a half years ago. havent looked back. you know you can get a subscription to blockbuster for three dvd's at a time and return them in a store in exchange for MORE dvd's while you wait for the ones in the mail to come. its the best deal in america. that particular one is 24 bucks a month. they have cheaper.
