I hadn't realized I hadn't posted for quite a while. Nothing particularly much to note, as I was working out of town. However, when I do go out of town to work, it's the only opportunity I have to actually watch television. (Incidentally, as a complete aside, I heard on the radio today that the larger plasma HDTVs use four times more power than conventional television sets. That's a lot. It makes me wonder, as people are clamouring to get these admittedly impressive machines, how it's going to affect power usage in the next few years).
I must say, I still cannot understand how people have time to watch television, especially for hours at a time. I am also concerned about the quality of what is actually available. I am not sure of the appeal. To me, television, for the most part, appears to be a mind-numbing, intelligence-sucking, vacuous form of being comatose. I know, I've watched my fair share of cartoons and such growing up, but I just find that there's not much to see.
And really, don't get me started on movies, as that is a whole other topic. A social outing where you sit in the dark with your friends, such that you can't talk to them or see them for hours, and then you go home. Fun.
