Death and Green Feet

From Jessicas starbucks cup:

"Americans spend an average of 20 hours a week watching television - which means in a typical life span we devote 13 uninterrupted years to our TV sets! the biggest problem with mass media isn't low quality - it's high quantity. Cutting down just a hour a day would provide extra years of life - for music and family, exercise and reading, conversation and coffee. "

-Michael Medved

Before I went here I watched a lot of TV. Maybe a 14 hours a week, or maybe even more. I liked it then and I wont blame me for it now. So when I came here, my first host family didn't even have a TV, or they had TV but they had no channels, only used it for watching movies. Sometimes I liked the movies but they also matched stuff like desperate house wives and Buffy the vampire which doesn't interest me at all. The host family i have now watch a lot of TV. They like it and I won't blame them, the thing is that we don't really have the same taste in movies. They love monster movies from 1950's, old science fiction or heavy, depressing, subtitled German movies (at least they are not dubbed, I HATE dubbed stuff, especially if it's the news and they are giving them a silly stereotype, almost comical accent or voice). So I end up sitting by the computer instead and wasting at least as much time, if not more, there.

When I was home because of my concussion, I could neither watch TV or computer. I ended up doing a whole lot of other stuff. Like sleeping (I haven't slept enough since I was in elementary school. Now, the first time for years, I didn't feel tried!), knitting, cleaning etc.
