Reflecting On Our Year Without Television

by Shawn December 27, 2010

Only one week to go and we’ll have gone a year without television. Well, not a very strict year: we still caught a few movies on DVD, and I did sneak a few World Cup games at my in-laws in the summer. And then there’s our Sunday afternoon dinners at my parents, where the NFL [...]

“No TV For One Year” Update

by Shawn November 24, 2010

So there are a few reasons I don’t blog much anymore about our “No TV For One Year” experiment: 1 – it turned into a “No TV For One Year In Our House Experiment,” since I kind of ended up watching most of the World Cup (we were at my in-laws) and occasionally watch some [...]

A Letter To My TV (or, seeing a girlfriend you broke up with over email)

by Shawn May 10, 2010

Dear TV Thanks for the letter. It was good hearing from you…I guess. Glad you’re doing well. It’s hard to believe it’s been 129 days since we broke up. I know, I’m still counting, which probably isn’t a good sign, but try not to get your hopes up. I hear a lot about you through [...]
