Best Buy sold one of my cousins a monitor that rotates because she couldn't print pictures in portrait mode. (And yes, I sent her there to find one. :twisted:)

I would worry about not knowing about current events but not knowing who the latest celebrity is, who cares?

Oh, btw in case you didn't know Donna Summer just died. :hehe:

Like books, TV and radio have both good and bad content. I find it troubling when people say they never read a book. No offense to anyone, but I feel similarly about people who say they never listen to the Radio or watch TV, but hey, if you're comfortable in your bubble, stay there.

+1.

Ever since I stopped watching TV I find I'm much happier. :tut:

Plus, mind too filled up with internet garbage and forums and memes to have any room for other crap. :teef:
Whenever we I travel somewhere, I pull the TV, stereo and computer plugs out. The TV has not been reconnected since I have returned from New Zealand a bit over a month ago even though I have bought about 15 DVDs since then.
I never watch TVs in hotels. I find something depressing about it. If I can't be out seeing and doing stuff while travelling, I'd rather be editing photos from the day, or reading about where I am, or be online a bit.

Since I stopped watching TV my DVDs have increased too, since I wanted things to watch while riding my exercise bike without resorting to TV, which makes me crazy and anxious. :gaah:

For very long. :hehe:

Average time a porn movie is watched in a hotel room - 8 minutes*.


*Or thereabouts, I can't be bothered to link to a source. 78.3% of all statistics are made up on the spot anyway.

I really needed some earphones at the time, so I bought some. He just couldn't believe me that I don't watch TV and therefore don't own a TV. :dunno:

Boy, you are out of touch! Pics of her bump are everywhere.

For several years I would turn on the tv in a hotel rooms and flip thru the channels. Eventually I would find the same Goldie Hawn movie for a bit. I got most of it, eventually. Something aboug boats and amnesia.

It was too stupid to watch in one go.

Yes, I agree. Although I don't have a clew who the latest person to win a talent show or be thrown out of a reality show is, I follow the news almost additively.

I'm not seeing much reason to stay IN touch.
