Getting Sorted Update
About three weeks ago, maybe a little bit more than that, I gave up free to air TV. Technically I have foxtel but you might better to discuss that with Benji than me. Ahem. And I had heard this was true, many people had tried to tell me before but ... I can't believe how much time I have found since giving it up. I'm not watching any less TV in fact I've watched tons more but I'm not "scheduled" the way TV makes your life and I'm not limited to watch shows one episode at a time. And oddly movies seem now such a more digestible format all of a sudden. I gave up watching the news on TV about xmas last year and I never missed it and I don't feel less informed. And I don't feel unconnected - I always thought that I would if I tuned out.
I'm thinking of not going back to watching free to air tv at all. I'm not sure if I could sustain that long term but I can't also think of much that's on right now that I want to watch, either.
So sort of all the tasks finished since the last update (probably missed a few, but they'll get picked up next week I'm sure).
28 Tasks Done:
11 TPP (1 BoE, 3 R/SB, 2 general, 4 ASif! 1 Finance)
13 Personal (3 TV (Big Love s1, Northern Exposure S5 and 6), 8 Film (Frost/Nixon, Picture Perfect, Capote, New in Town, Last Chance Harvey, Marilyn Hotchkiss' Ballroom Dancing and Charm School, Vicky Christina Barcelona, Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium) 1 Benji, 1 Music)
2 Craft
2 Books finished (both borrowed)
1 item moved to Not Completed (yay review I don't need to write)
And somehow job interview for application 2 was not on the to do list but was done.
And now? Now I have leftovers to go in the fridge so I don't need to cook dinner tomorrow night. I have baked muffins for breakfast and I have shopped for lunch to pack. I am reading another book and am working on LSS - have zeroed some stories and started reading some more.
Not recharged fully, but getting there.
