Ok, who's brilliant idea was it to make TV Turnoff Week the week where many of my shows (Ugly Betty, Grey's, etc) are coming back after the strike! Bad timing people..........I think I'm missing the point of TV Turnoff week. ;)

;-)

OK! i would go along with this but i have so much stuff coming on this week.

i also agree with BQ, who decided it was a good idea for this week? so not cool!

i think their idea of a TV turn-off week is a good thought. just needs a little tweaking.... no tv the whole day. turn it on for ex. Grey's Anatomy. turn it off. only an hour's worth of tv.... just a tiny tweak.... :D.

can be done whether sitting, walking, or standing. And by nothing, I include non-getting-paid-for-work, because we humans are all about the almighty (insert form of currency here). So, I'm a big fan of Tai Chi outreach and being volunteer crew for a theater production (Because what's better than TV? Live TV.). I have also been known to while away many an hour with a good book. However, nothing is quite so entertaining as a game of poker or a board game like Talkin' Tango, Apples to Apples or Taboo.

 

I do believe doing nothing is my life's pursuit. Work just pays the bills.

 I never have time for tv anyhow, i think i watch about an hours worth a month. I know, I know, but afterellen keeps me updated on anything important.

 

How about going to a drag show? Those are always fun and you might meet somebody. Or run into somebody you would rather avoid. On second thought, Game night is always a blast. Well for game junkies like me that is. Anyone for a marathon of Monopoly?

 

 

You are responsible for your own happily ever after.

This may be blasphemous to say on this site, but. . . I don't even own a TV. There was a stretch of about 6 months where I had one last year (no cable, just a crappy antenna with poorly-received BBC and ITV), and there was one in my apartment a few years ago that my roommates used but I pretty much ignored, but apart from that, I've been basically TV-free since I moved out of my parents' house. I virtually never wish I had one. Generally, I feel like if I have time to watch TV, I have time to do something else that I'd rather do than watch TV. Such things include: read the newspaper (this is a big one), read books, go for walks/runs/bike rides, fiddle around with musical instruments, hang with friends, paint, draw, surf the net (this last one happens more when I'm procrastinating - like right now - than anything else). I'm totally a serial hobbyist.

I already did this a couple of months ago during the writer's strike.

Activities that aren't watching TV include reading afterellen, watching vlogs on afterellen, and surfing youtube.  Is this what you had in mind?

Laugh, Love, Live every moment, Every day

So I didn't even know they were doing a Shot at Love 2, let alone that its airing tonight. How can they do another Shot at Love when everybody knows that Tila is straight? Wow that is completely pointless. Needless to say, I'm not going to be watching it this time around...

But anyway this is the perfect week to be "TV Turn Off Week" since it is my exam week. Now if only they had a "Internet Turn Off Week" then I would have no problem studying lol.

There's probably time for a walk in the park/woods/beach near you after work? Nothing like the sweet smell of nature to revive a flagging, overworked sedentary soul :) Besides, its a good excuse to give your dog a treat.

A evening out eating and drinking with friends at some buzzy patio cafe/bar would also work wonders. Maybe even watching the sun go down...

How about some poetry. Mary Oliver ( family) recent book of poems called Thirst (well, 2006) is dedicated to her partner of 40 years, who passed away. Many beautiful poems on grief.

I would also second the recommendation of Charlotte Mendelson's book "When We Wrre Bad". Quite a page turner. 

 

 

Not on the week of the much anticipated return of Moonlight. Try in four weeks.

TV Turnoff week? Who came up with that silly idea?

Of all the important things one could possibly focus on, not watching TV for a week seems rather trivial.

Who doesn't blog these days?

 

Often see Gossip girls with thos lovely and hot bisexual. like bisexual love them and Bimingle..com and also wanna know more.

 

 

In Austin, TX. (yes, I did just write that) I'd be all over Beth Clayton. You know, in the strictly operatic sense, of course.

My DVR is SOOOO going to be my best friend this week. Tila Tequila needs to drink herself and fall under a bar somewhere ... at a place where she can't ever get back on TV.
