t.v.

I finally did it. Called up DirecTV, told them to shut it down. I finally got sick and tired of being held prisoner by the television. It was the complete center of my universe. First thing to be turned on when I came home, on almost every minute of the day/night I was home. Ridiculous. When I turned it off, or went somewhere quiet, the silence was blissful. Ridiculous. So it's gone now.

Not to say that I'm giving up television. No way. I'm just not going to let myself have complete access to it. I'll keep up with my shows, I'll just see them a little bit later than everyone else. Not a bad thing. REMOTE CONTROL! And there are always movies, of course. I went back to Netflix. My queue was still waiting for me. I've been wanting to see "Taken" with Liam Neeson, so that was my first pick. Not bad. Not anything new, of course, but for it's type it was fun. Watching him kick bad guy butt was pretty fun. Gotta love the quick these guys have. No time for thought when a bad guy is there, muscle memory kicks in and boom, bad guy is dust. I'd probably buy it, cheap. Just for the fun of watching that quickness.
