Mostly I'm watching old stuff on YouTube (mostly entire runs of US Sitcoms from the 1970s and 1980s) and more recently a lot of stuff on Amazon Prime, since I have a sub. Again, that tends to be old stuff. <br /><br />All of that I watch on a tablet when I'm bed. I'm still not watching anything on an actual tv set. In fact, I just got home from three days in Edinburgh, where we had a big tv in the room, but even though we were in during the evenings we both used our tablets rather than switch the thing on!Bhagpusshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03499162165023939880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510920011443550663.post-77757715479875415802019-02-06T05:50:59.105+00:002019-02-06T05:50:59.105+00:00I actually made a New Year's Resolution a few ...I actually made a New Year's Resolution a few years ago to "watch more television". I'm sure heaps of people have resolved to watch LESS television, not sure how many have resolved to watch more! :-)<br /><br />But I felt that I was spending too much of my leisure time on "just doing it for the sake of it" gaming. Meanwhile, we were living in an age where there was just incredibly good stuff being done in the medium of TV and I had a big list of stuff that people had said "that's great, you should watch it".<br />Carson 63000https://www.blogger.com/profile/10900682924502279486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510920011443550663.post-32344724846045730452019-02-03T06:16:44.502+00:002019-02-03T06:16:44.502+00:00Hobbies have always been suspect for the amount of...Hobbies have always been suspect for the amount of time they take up, though.

I'm away for a few days so after this one, comments will probably go unreplied for a while - unless I reply from my phone, which is unlikely.Bhagpusshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03499162165023939880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510920011443550663.post-91299159876592656662019-02-03T02:17:25.095+00:002019-02-03T02:17:25.095+00:00Ha!

I haven't commented here in a while (mostly because while I pretty much read every post here, most I am in quiet agreement or just enjoyed it without anything to add.) Moments like those I wish there was a "like" button so I could let you know. Hopefully Google still tracks my visits. This comment is much like your post. A bit circular. Hope that's ok. Mostly wanted to say happy holidays and let you know I still spend time here :)Iseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09489936780809266112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510920011443550663.post-61682986143813219232019-02-02T19:15:07.995+00:002019-02-02T19:15:07.995+00:00Hehe, I'm so with you, especially on the TV th...Hehe, I'm so with you, especially on the TV thing.<br />A co-worker was aghast once when I told him that we'd watched the first season of Walking Dead in a single afternoon. I was like, why, that's only about five hours. Peanuts.<br /><br />The funny (or sad) thing is, in my experience almost everybody has hobbies that take up large amounts of time, yet when talking about either watching TV or playing games everyone's like "I don't know how you got so much time for that", as if it were a somehow inferior way to spend your time.Mailvaltarhttp://mailvaltar.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
