I cancelled the extended cable. No more bottom-feeding entertainment. Sadly, also no Good Eats, Iron Chef or Mythbusters -- no more Daily Show. These things I'll miss, but the brain rot, I won't. And thanks to A, I'll still be getting tapes of the new GE episodes every couple months.
Yay, one less distraction in the house!
UPDATE: I also just nuked my Audible subscription. I'm backlogged on audiobooks, anyway. I started the subscription because the Library was taking FOREVER to get the last three Dark Tower books on audio. In hindsight, I wish I had that $40 back. Bleh. Still, I did get some lovely books, ones that the library couldn't get on tape -- Sarah Vowell, David Sedaris, Neal Stephenson, Neil Gaiman. I'll treasure those audiobooks for a long, long time.
UPDATE AGAIN: Just launched the first Freecycle salvo. Off go an old hatrack, a popcorn popper, my old cappuccino maker (french press from now on!) and a 17" monitor that I haven't used since I got my new flatscreen. I found Paul's grandma's waffle iron while I was cleaning out the cupboard -- I don't think I'm ready to give that up yet -- Alton just did a show on waffles and I may give them a try. (Oh, shut up. You guys all know I'm totally Alton's lurve slave.)
