Television

I have a TV now. I'm not exactly sure how I feel about this. It's a nice 13" Toshiba with built in VCR. Since I haven't been able to watch Bill and Ted in a year (due to lack of television), this is a blessing. But is it a mixed blessing?

I haven't owned my own (haha) television since I was in high school, and I don't think I actually watched that one more than once in a while after freshman year. Both of my roommates freshman year had TV's, and I never even watched it. Last year, Alicia had a TV (also combo VCR), and good times were had with movie nights. But unless Alicia was watching Law & Order, I never actually watched television.

I've spent the last year (with a few exceptions) almost entirely television free. I think it's had a good effect on me...I appreciate movies a lot, and I'm not desensitized to television as I have previously been.

Which leads me to conclude that I'm not sure how I feel about the TV that is currently sitting on my couch. It's been here for over three hours, and I haven't even looked for a place to put it (other than my couch). I actually glare at the TV once in a while, when I look up from the rug I'm currently working on.

Eesh, why I am so bothered by a TV?
