The TV Experiment- part 2

well, a few bumps in the road are to be expected.  yesterday dominic discovered that he could watch youtube videos whenever he got the whim, and re-discovered the t.v. in the master bedroom (which we NEVER use....don't even know why it's there).  today we went to have lunch out, because the cupboard is bare and i asked dominic if he wanted to go to subway; and he responded "eat fresh".  holy crap, i'm more committed than ever to this t.v. diet now.

on the bright side, i asked him last night if he missed it any and he told me he was 'getting too big to watch t.v.'. well, yay!  i'm not missing it as much as i thought i would either.  i certainly have less inclination toward buying stuff!  isn't that amazing?  i'm not a real good navel-gazer when it comes to analyzing my feelings or revelations about situations, but i can say that it feels nice, and kind of calming not to have the t.v. in our lives anymore.  this feels like what "normal" is supposed to be,  like before this we were sitting around as empty vessels, waiting to be filled with opinions and stimuli.  i honestly know i haven't missed a damn thing, and if i stopped looking at blogs i'd feel the same way, i'm not going to suffer or be labeled a social pariah if i don't know who's on Go Fug Yourself today.  such a waste of time.
