Still and probably forever a news junkie, but I can see how after not paying any attention to the outside world for a few days, it becomes really easy to not go back. And how some people find it emotionally draining to pay attention to the news.

It's hard to disappear off the radar! In 2005 (was it 2005? I can't remember what year it was) I disappeared into the wilderness of the B.C. interior for a week, and emerged to find out Hurricane Katrina had happened. Imagine that kind of disconnect.

Another time I had no media access, I found out that Saddam Hussein had been executed. Well then!

I spent a month in India never reading or watching the news and now I never read the paper, it's all depressing.

I do watch Rachel Maddow and The Daily Show, because I like politics and it's light hearted.
