*OCTOBER 2015*
(the ‘motel television’ broke down in ‘early 2015’)
(i’ve been TV-free ever since)
i’m starting to watch tons of television again.
it’s good to soak up what little is left of our culture every couple years or so.
as an obsessive-compulsive child, i’d watch the first channel on the lineup.
that way, there were less decisions to make. because i don’t like channel-surfing. or making decisions
watching television…
fresh start tomorrow
(after another unproductive TV evening)
more TV and internet videos
watching lots of TV…
the channels have changed on the TV…less of them now…
(cheap bastards)
