With the lights out, it's less dangerous...
I used to be proud of myself for giving up TV. People would ask what I thought of this or that show and I would stick my nose up in the air self-importantly and say, "Oh, I don't watch TV anymore", as if I were some paragon of restraint. No, instead I read webcomics and lurk on message boards. One of my favorites is all about other people playing video games so you don't have to.
I've decided that this hypocrisy needs to stop. Every other week for the next however long I keep this up, I'm giving up all passive entertainment. The switch will occur overnight from Sunday to Monday, since I decided this last night. I'm calling music in the car OK, since I sing along, and I can read forums/livejournal/facebook as long as I post something within an hour of reading. If this works, I'll be ready to give this stuff up for the entirety of Lent. I will get so much stuff done!
I need someone to keep me accountable. Ask me how it's going. Point it out if I'm making excuses (should I give up music, too, for consistency?). If I didn't tell anyone about it, I'd probably be watching fansubs by Tuesday. Thanks for your help in advance!
