I haven't had time yet to bring the thing by before work, and since the box is heavy and I need to build in waiting time once I get there, it's a bigger production than just sashaying in to drop it off. Which is to say, inertia is getting hold of me. But next week, I don't have any weekday classes, so I should be able to do it then. Not yet.

It's too useful for DVDs, which I don't watch mindlessly. If I put one in, I have to actually think about what I'm going to watch and how much time I'm going to commit to watching it. Whereas, I can veg out for longer than that while channel-surfing, but since I didn't think about what I was going to watch, I enjoy it less. I don’t think I’d go so far as to get rid of my TV.

That would be very hard. I couldn’t get rid of cable, because then I wouldn’t have ESPN. That would be very hard.

The odd show I'm interested in watching isn't too hard to come by online, and as you point out, there's a lot more time for other activities. (Okay - I probably spend my cable budget in the bookstores, but that's my weakness!) I shed my TV years ago (and the cable along with it) - I don’t miss it one bit.
