[Loser]

I'm with the Wombat. I haven't watched TV for years. The hardest part was weaning myself off the shows I really liked, but eventually I got there. I still waste my time, internet, computer games, whatever, but now I waste my time on things that, at least, have an illusion of accomplishment.

Lets face it, the time I send on SE IV is no more productive, and has no more benefit than time I'd spend watching TV. But what it does do for me is leave me with a feeling of accomplishment. Even when I lose.

Also, leaving TV behind has cut me off from a large source of memes of unknown value.

I haven't read that essay yet, GW, but I'm stuck here at work for about thirteen hours today, so I suspect I will get to it.
