TV Week Project - Conclusions

Let's look at the numbers. During the week in question I watched 5.75 hours of TV via coaxial cable. I watched another 6 hours on DVD, 2 of which were an old TV documentary. I watched another half hour or so of vid on the web. All together that's about 12.5 hours of moving pictures on the small screen. That's out of a total of 168 hours for the week.

That's along with a couple of hours of Public Radio, several chapters from a couple of books, a few articles and recipes from cooking magazines, loads of stuff on the web, and a good deal of work.

And so, what have we learned from all this?

Nothing. Absolutely nothing.

I already knew that I liked some TV. This was a slightly atypical week because I got to see more DVDs than usual. I already knew that I like movies with superheroes. I already knew what I watched.

But I can check a couple of things off my life list of things to do. I've been meaning to watch both of those movies for a little while now. I've wanted to watch Victory at Sea for the longest time. Most of all I've long wanted to keep a journal of my television viewing for a week. Now I've done that too. And like so many other things in my life I am moved to state the following: So what. Big deal.
