Long dark teatime, etc.

Tomorrow I start the "deprivation week": no books, no comics, no TV, and No Bloody Intarwub. (Including LJ.) Assuming I don't chew my own arm off within 6.4 hours, I shall resume normal attention on the morning of the 2nd. So, if there's something I should know in the interim, email me. But don't tempt me by me sending stupid links, damn ye.

(It occurs to me that I could post, I just can't read. Or respond to comments. So maybe I had best refrain entirely.)

There's the stated objective of this, which is to remove all the distractive dreck from one's life that keeps one from actually seeing the world instead of just drowning in cheap stimuli; and then there's my own personal Iron Man competition, or "I Can TOO!".

Excellent! Since this whole house-adventure began, my TV viewing has dropped dramatically, and, yes, AW was an impetus for that. For years, I've been turning off commercials anyway cuz I was so picky about what I let in my brain, and then I realized that numbing out on MOST media let crap in all the same.

Read a great line recently: "Wanna see what a hypnotized person looks like? Watch someone watching TV."

Take back your brain, sister!

(Oh, and I loved your raccoon story - just glad you didn't get bitten! Embarassed masked swan divers can be a dangerous lot...)
