Has anybody bedsides me not watched TV today?

[AlCzervik]

I haven't turned it on at all, i was working and instead of putting cspan on i just put my ipod on the boombox and after today i'm really glad.

[LisaM]

1. I haven't, and I haven't listened to the radio either

Thank god!

[AlCzervik]

5. for real, this was the day not to watch anything.

[tekisui]

2. I haven't turned on the tv this week.

It's better that way.

Of course, I just have rabbit-ears and 5 channels, so there isn't much to miss.

[AlCzervik]

6. you know what's funny, i just bought a great new tv and i've watched it about 5 times

in the past week and half and each time it was a movie.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

3. I typically don't watch much TV ...

And none during the day...

I don't miss it at all.

I'll watch Jim Lehrer tonight, or whoever's taking his place.

:hi:

[AlCzervik]

7. me neither Peggy, when i don't have a book i try and find a movie.

[mdmc]

4. I haven't watched any for a while

what did we miss

[AlCzervik]

10. the shitstorm today, thats why i'm especially glad i didn't watch any tv, i don't

watch cable "Opinion shows" anymore but i'm sure this thing today was on local news.

[yellowdogintexas]

8. I have not had my TV on since MOnday night. I have been listening to NPR

a lot.

and I spent the afternoon in Dallas

[McSame]

But you have your computer on, and you have heard all about this... and you

Still are not curious enough to turn it on, rather bury your head in the sand?

[AlCzervik]

13. why do i have to watch it on tv when i'll be reading about in tomorrows paper?

i get 2 newspapers a day so my head is not buried in the sand but thanks so much for making that leap.

[LisaM]

18. Ha ha ha

Thanks for the laugh!

[AlCzervik]

20. Ya, i guess if we read the newspaper instead of watching wall to wall coverage of

every gnats ass detail of the story then we're just not paying attention.




:toast:

[LisaM]

23. I can't believe he (or she) said that to you!

I'm going to my book club meeting tonight. I didn't like the book, but it'll be better than this!


:eyes:

[AlCzervik]

25. well have fun, book club used to always be a good wine filled time for me.

[LisaM]

28. yes, wine is involved thank goodness

we're kind of an eating group with a book problem.

[AlCzervik]

33. Lol!! That is great.

[LeftyMom]

9. If I do later, it won't be anything political.

I have some good stuff in my TiVo waiting for me.

[AlCzervik]

15. i have a jewelery party to go to tonight, not really in the mood but she makes cute

things that are inexpensive so i'm thinking i'll just go and try to enjoy.

[cbayer]

11. I don't turn on the TV unless there is something on I really want to see.

Like Bill Moyers, Frontline, etc.

I think it is part of the reason that I am sometimes really out of step with people here. All the adoration and rage at specific newscasters and supposed pundits really baffles me.

Hope you had some nice music on your iPod!

[AlCzervik]

16. i do thanks! Since i stopped watching Cable news i think life has improved.

[SaveOurDemocracy]

12. I haven't ... and I'm making it a habit. n/t

[olkaz]

14. wtf is tv?

Back to my looking for a new computer.

[Higher Standard]

17. I was at the movies today

My wife and I went to see the fourth Indiana Jones movie. When we came home, I turned the TV on in the middle of Hardball and that's the first I heard of this. Kind of wish I'd popped in a DVD instead.

[AlCzervik]

19. did you like it? We're going tomorrow. I watched the original with my daughter

this week, she'd never seen it, i don't know how that happened.

[Higher Standard]

30. Liked it a lot

It's still not to the level of "Raiders of the Lost Ark" (but it'd be hard to top the original), but I think it really caps the series off better than "Last Crusade" did. I think it succeeds with an older Indiana Jones in the same way "Rocky Balboa" handled the aging Rocky very well and respectfully.

[AlCzervik]

32. oh good, i haven't set my expectation level high just because when i do that i'm

always disappointed so the fact that it didn't suck is cool.

[femmedem]

21. I gave away the TV in the early '90's.

Saved a lot of time and sanity. Then I went and got myself a computer. :banghead:

[Straight Shooter]

22. I never watch television programs. The TV is strictly for DVDs.

Anyway, I get all the comedy and melodrama I can handle on the Internet toobies.

[AlCzervik]

26. i love movies, all genres.

[Straight Shooter]

35. You like documentaries? Check out The Life of Birds.

It's Netflix, because I'm in the boonies and the only way I can get a good variety is through them.

Dreamkeeper was pretty good, highlighting Native American tales interwoven with a modern story of a young man and his father.

Tonight's flick is The Diving Bell and the Butterfly :)

[AlCzervik]

37. I will check that out, i loved "Winged Migration" and this will sound nuts but

i swear to Zod it is just wonderful-----

[Straight Shooter]

44. If you loved Winged Migration, you're going to love The Life of Birds.

I'm only on disc number 1 of 3 and it's absolutely fascinating. Wait until you see how the crows get grubs :)

I'm a bird fanatic, anyway. I've always enjoyed their presence wherever I live and do whatever I can to encourage them to hang around. :)

ETA, you think I've got enough smilies in this post, haha

[Arkansas Granny]

24. I watched local news and weather this morning while I got ready for work.

Does that count?

[AlCzervik]

27. probably not.

[Mooney]

29. I was hanging out with my son all day.

Just turned on the TV for the first time about an hour ago.

Why? What's going on?

[AlCzervik]

31. thats a good, no great way to spend a day.

[Mooney]

39. Can't say I have any regrets.

[laststeamtrain]

34. Here.

I'm streaming a Sonic Youth special right now on a college radio station. Interview with Thurston Moore at the moment.
They're OK.

Might watch Spurs/Lakers in a little while, nurse a beer over at a local tavern.

These are the thrills.

[AlCzervik]

40. i love the Lakers.

[laststeamtrain]

47. I grew up in the SF Bay Area. I Hate the Lakers.

:hi:

[AlCzervik]

50. i like 2 teams, the Lakers and anyone who beats The Kings.

:D

[NC_Nurse]

36. Me. I was out getting one of my rental houses painted and ready for new

tenants. I just got home a little while ago. Wow. What a mess! :o

[AlCzervik]

41. busy day but you got a lot done!

[tpsbmam]

38. Busy all day and didn't hear anything until I turned on Olbermann. Then I

came to DU to see the degree to which all hell had broken loose.

[AlCzervik]

42. yes, very bad.

[stillcool]

43. I love the internets!

I get to read what happens and skip all the fluff. Plus I hate those commercials.

[Stinky The Clown]

45. Mine was off until Countdown ...... it went off again a few minutes after tuning in.

[azmouse]

46. I went to see Harold and Kumar 2 this afternoon.

I couldn't stand all the hoopla here today.
HRC is despicable and I wanted to keep my sense of humor intact.

[LWolf]

48. I haven't watched it, but that's nothing new.

I usually turn it on about 7, and watch a movie or let old reruns go in the background while I read.

I never watch tv news.

I never watch tv talk shows.

I tune in CSPAN every once in awhile; I'm rarely home when it's live.

I do read the news; I prefer it that way. I haven't read any news since 5 am this morning, though.

[rainbow4321]

49. I haven't..my day started off in the ER..

Stomach virus all night, dehydration..got IV fluid and some drugs...came home and popped some of those drugs and have been in a phenergan deep sleep all day.
Didn't hear about HRC fucking comment til just now when I logged onto DU.
Time to go back to my phenergan fog. Wake me up for her concession speech.

[McCamy Taylor]

51. I almost never watch TV anymore. Except for animation. I use it for DVDs. Love anime.

We need an anime and manga forum here at DU so that I will have something fun to post about.

[AlCzervik]

52. My Daughter loves Manga, she got a couple of cool books on the drawing of

and she also read a series of manga like books, it was a series that you read backward, the book, not the story.
