You don't feel obligation towards the idiot box

It has been a while since I actually used a live journal blog on a regular basis. That being said my mind is drawing a blank for this first post.
Over the weekend my mind was racing with ideas, topics, reflections, rants.
I was at home, though, visiting at my moms' house. I hadn't brought my laptop the internet there was being kind of flaky and to top it all off my sisters computers are both slow as all hell and the keys are all broken.
On the one hand, this meant I could not do much on the internet, let alone post in a blog. On the other it gave me a refreshing break from the constant communication that I have come to depend on.
Also my phone was running out of battery, so I had it turned off for most of the time.
Bliss.
Truth be told I am somewhat of an email addict, it's usually idly waiting in the background of my tabs, taunting me with emptiness or junk mail...
Cold turkey was easy to deal with when there was a TV around though. Marathons of NCIS and Law&Order, my mother and I sharing chips and salsa, partners in lazy-crime.
It was nice.
