I am in the first time of my life of not having a favorite television show. There isn't a single show I watch right now on a regular basis. I just watch whatever Greg is watching when I happen to be in front of the TV. So, that would be NCIS whatever, Hawaii Five-O, Criminal Minds, CSI whatever, and other detective type shows.
I used to be totally addicted to Lost. When it went off the air, nothing filled the void and I just stopped watching TV altogether. Okay, well, some of it had to do with the fact that I always had homework I had to do.
But I don't miss TV at all. About the only enjoyable thing I like about TV is catching the news in the morning while we eat breakfast. Since I don't read the newspaper and I don't read news online, it's the only way I know what's happening. Greg is the one that turns it on. In fact, he was gone for a few days to his mom's to help her clean up the house on the hill some and do some yard work. I didn't have the TV on the entire time. It was two days after the Japan tsunami before I knew anything about it.
I can't decide if that's sad or not. I suppose it is. I should feel disconnected from the world by not reading the news on a regular basis. Apparently I need to get a smart phone so that I can constantly be looking at it and getting news and information from the world and my friends. We were in the dentist office yesterday and once again, everyone except the children had their heads buried in their phone. The kids were zombied with the TV. I was reading a book. I think I'm out of touch with my times.
