QotD: Current TV
After all the recent season and series finales, what are you watching on TV these days?
I sold my television in a yard sale for $20, along with a lot of other post-separation junk. I moved into a smaller apartment and now watch movies on my big ass mac screen. I prefer life without TV. When I need the fix or hear of a good show, I'll watch at a Tivo household cuz that's what friends are for (kinda). If not, I'll wait patiently, like a big cat stalking prey, for the DVD release of the coveted show.
Now, in the silence of my new home, without the high pitch squeal of
the TV, my mind is left to wander. At this juncture in my life,
introspection is key. How did I land myself here?
Somedays, I can't escape the feeling that I am in a real time game of Shutes and
Ladders and my foot fell carelessly in a square that set me back four years.
Other days, I feel on top of the world, in control, perched to see
those things bigger and better coming in from the distance. Most
of the time I have a new emotion every five minutes. Such
is life. I prefer it without television.

Why do we call the game Snakes-and-ladders over here (Britain)? Or vice versa. Did you slip on a snake who was a bit of a shute? There is no going back, we learn and move on, or we live in a fantasy world full of nostalgic/comfort teevee.
Be strong. Learn. Move on. Teevee is a demanding god.
