It may not sound like a big deal to you, but I am going to give up my drug for the entire month of February. I will not be watching any television at all!

(with the possible exception of the Superbowl, which I don't even want to watch, but I am going to a party to be social, and I am sure it'll be on).

I decided to do this for a few reasons...

#1- I probably watch too much TV, and I am hoping to be more productive in the coming month.

#2- The writer's strike is bumming me out and there's nothing really good on these days anyway. (plus football is over and baseball isn't on until April).

#3- I really do hate my new DVR that came with my new DirecTv HD box. It has hampered my enjoyment of watching television. I wish DirecTv would hook back up with Tivo, because their new generic version is just horrible. There is no way I'd switch back to cable, or the Dish Network, but I hope DirecTv knows that their new solution sucks and I am sure I am not the only one who has noticed.

Anyway... at the beginning of March, I'll write my observations about how it went without the boob tube. Also, It's now the last day of January and I haven't had any fast food at all. I've hardly ever gone an entire week of my life without fast food let alone a month.
