Idiot box no more

We have no TV now. We got rid of it more than a week ago for the sake of our middle child who was seriously addicted to it, and unable to keep himself from living in Wiggle-Thomas-ABCKids-land.

I am surprised at how well I personally am doing without it. The house feels a lot calmer in general, at night and during the day.

Potential problems may be that I do not keep up with current affairs enough. I also may suffer from Survivor withdrawals, however I'm certain that will not kill me.

I like it.

smh.com.au and news.com.au make good TV substitutes regarding current affairs. Just have to avoid the internet addiction... :)

I rarely get to watch the news, but I find listening to ABC radio really helps keep me up to date.

you can download episodes of lousy TV shows (ie survivor) from a bit torrent site. or you can imagine you are on your own episode of survivor TV land!

Yeah, but are torrent copies legal? I have a feeling they wouldn't be...
