Mar 2014

been to a movie theatre in over 20 years, don't do Netflix, or buy current DVDs.

I'm totally out of it, don't even watch TV. So most of this stuff just goes right over my head. I had enough of TV long before 2008, and watched stuff on youtube during the Bush reign of terror. I didn't even want to hook up the cable again until the inauguration when people said I just had to watch it.

So I did, and promptly called my broadband + landline + cable company and told them to cut it all off but TWC and SCAN.

I hate most of the stuff that's on as a sensory overload, the RW stuff pollutes the spirit. So there are some discussions I don't get into at all.

The local mania prior to the Superbowl got me to watch youtube videos of the players and I fell in love with Richard. Best to love 'em from afar, safer that way, haha.

And I didn't even get to see all of the F&F2, as we turned the sound off for the meeting. I like to read, that's why I'm here at DU.
