It's been about 6 months since the TV totally died. It only got one channel anyway, but I did watch it at least an hour every evening. I can't think of anything I really miss. Football and basketball games were nice, but the NFL season has already started up again and I could care less this year. I can follow politics and the news just as well over the internet.

So I'm missing a few crappy sitcoms and crime shows. I have about 60 real life crappy sitcoms and crime shows I have to deal with at work: every combination of drug use, domestic violence, people cheating, and kids going crazy. That's my job. Why would I want to watch it for entertainment?

I think I'm reading quite a bit more, but I don't think I've rented any more videos. The apartment isn't any cleaner, but I've never been a neat person. I'm getting outside more frequently, as evidenced by the tan.

Overall, I'd say it's been a good thing.
