If you think you're too weak to cut down then throw it away! I don't see the big issue here. If you want something then you do it. No? I watch far too much shit too, but i'm fine with it. I've been going online less as that was getting silly (like for us all i'm sure) but luckily i was strong enough not to have to throw my laptop away. |

When I really want to write, I'll shut down my wifi. It's kind of silly that I can't just, you know, not go on the internet, but it's almost become a reflex to open up a browser window (if one wasn't open already, for some miraculous reason). I guess it works a kind of marker - time to work. Something similar could be done with tv, no? |

What, unplug it? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Basically, yes. Take the batteries out of the remote. In my case, I could unplug my modem, what with my tv being all digital and shit. It's all a bit childish, but if it works, it works. Anyways.. have you tried watching Count Arthur Strong yet? |
||||||||
|
|

|

Yes ultimately what counts is that the desired destination is reached. And i'm sure it can get much sillier! Oh i forgot about him. On the downlo.. |

I really like UK panel shows like HIGNFY and QI etc. We desperately need shit like that over here. |

The big problem is my girlfriend, she wants to keep the telly..can't get rid of her, she's to sweet |

Don't you have more than one room? Or headphones? |
||||||||
|
|

(or any resemblance of will power) |

You need to recommend some more telly shows, Düsseldorf. Maybe I need to get on Luther. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Luther was a surprise hit for me. At first i wasn't really bothered but once i watched it i was amazed at how good it actually is. Shame it's done and dusted, though now Idris is absolutely loaded i'm sure a film will crop up. |
||||||||

|

Well, I will endeavour to follow your recommendations, then mock you from my ivory tower when I find your likes to be boring and shitty. :) |

A film script has already been written, and I believe it's going to be made. (I'm not invested, personally, I've never seen an episode and don't feel any compulsion to.) |

I'll tell you one thing I started watching a couple of months ago, and I really loooove it - The Good Wife. |
||||||||

yeah, i'm with crazone, really. i am not one of those haughty "i don't watch tv" people just like i am not one of those "i never eat fast food" people. i enjoy both, but there are other things i enjoy more! there are also things i do not enjoy but have to do anyways, leaving me even less free time to distribute to all the enjoyable things. these days, if i watch something, it's usually because of other people; they want to watch this or that. i say OK, cos hanging out and watching TV is vastly superior to watching TV alone, sort of like drinking. guess my advice is to only watch TV when your girl watches it. for me, there's something else, too. hard to describe. i guess i'd call it a deepening impatience with the whole concept. the show ends and what do i have to show for it? i honestly feel better playing minecraft, 'cos then i at least have some imaginary cyber couch fort to feel proud of. i also like posting crap like this; still probably my single biggest timewaster |

If you're going down that road, it's all senseless - tv, books, music, videogames, the church, war, what is it good for, absolutely nothing. Yeah, sure, you might temporarily convince yourself that one thing is more worthy than the other, "make" some shit that only really exists in the cold purr of a soon to fail hard drive, but deep down, you know you're lying to yourself. You're absailing down a bottomless abyss without a rope. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
Yup. Telly is entertainment and i don't see why it should be compared to playing videogames, tennis or backgammon or running.. it's not like it's one or the other. I'm rather lucky i guess that i can enjoy lots of various forms of entertainment. Tv can also be used purely for educational purposes. Also, my dear epicacatrax, you love to contradict yourself! I don't understand you being impatient with the whole 'concept' either. |

it's like that episode of friends in which one guy is like "i fantasize about leia in a bikini" and another guy was like "well yeah, but don't you hate it when you're about to bang and suddenly you imagine it's your mum" and dude prime is like "no, ew, why" but then at the end his girl dresses up like leia and it hits him, he sees his mum, "dude prime ruined my life!" he cries; credits. i'd skip this ridic analogy and post something more straightforward, but i'm trying to roll with the thread. leia is TV, mum is ambition, and dude prime is advancing age. |

I'm getting used to you, which means i don't detest you anymore. But you're not doing yourself any favours here. |

I own my man cave and I'm trying to use it more often lately |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Is your man cave a completely empty basement with one bare lightbulb? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and himself, bare too |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
How about his lightbulb? Do not answer that. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
My basement is almost literally a cave, the walls and ground are bedrock. It's shit |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
hahaha |

He's talking about his bum. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You wish. No it's the room where I play my records, try to make music, paint, read, etc. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes, your bum. |
||||||||
|

What's you favorite bit? |
||||||||

The left cheek is your future and the right one is your past, right? That's how bum readers do it apparently. |
