Oh, and frankly, my one-TV thing is mostly about cheapness, I think. I mean, if someone randomly gave me a TV, I'd be happy to have one in my bedroom, but why am I going to spend money on that when I've got a perfectly good TV in the living room?
This is why I don't have an iPod.
Oh I'm definitetly thinking that it's true that different things work for different people.
We had access to all sorts of incredibly violent crap growing up. And the reaction I've had is to sort of dislike most violent stuff, to be cringey about it... watch from the hall about it.
I'm watching the Alias finale and I would like to proclaim that JACK BRISTOW ROCKS MY WORLD.
We couldn't get cable when I was a kid, but my dad said that he was glad we couldn't get it, as there were many programs that Jesus wouldn't watch. This was decades before the whole WWJD thing - my dad was ahead of his time.
I betcha Jesus watches The Daily Show hoping for a "This Week In God" segment. Then he laughs and laughs.
(Loving the picture of Jesus chuckling at Stephen Colbert.)
(Loving the picture of Hec, Emmett, and Pam Grier.)
This is what he's doing with his Philosphy degree? Writing for The Daily Show?
Do you have a better suggestion?
I love
Irina!
She's awesome.
Raise your hand if you can't wait until Kat sees the last minute of the finale.
I'm already spoiled for it, Perkins.
I'm still sniffling over my
Irina
and Jack love.
I had a computer and a TV in my room as a kid. I was even online quite early (1983). It wasn't the internet quite yet, but it was a large collection of local BBS and FidoNET and the like.
I don't think a TV or a computer in a child's room is inherintly a bad thing any more than a baseball hat on a child is.
