Day 4

I have finally managed to cut down to about the 2 hours I have committed to today, with the help of my No 1 follower. After about an hour and 45 we switched it off, well my little girl did watch part of a kids movie before going to bed but I didn't watch so....

It is a lot easier with distractions and a new one that I found tonight was "Angry Birds" an iPhone app that is SOOOOO addictive, which could also become an obsession. Counting down until I get my new iPhone 4 tomorrow.... STOKED!

I also discovered tonight that the superdrive in my mac is faulty which is a pain especially seeing that I haven't used it since it was last serviced a few months ago, so I cant be sure if it is a result of the servicing or not. Shouldn't be though because that wasn't the issue while it was at the shop. I'll have to call them tomorrow to see what I can do about it. I am in desperate need of more HDD space and I am trying to archive off some old data........ damn.

Well in my extra non TV time today, I looked at the daunt of a challenge I am about to undertake and Uni, finishing my masters degree in accounting this semester. One unit suggests that reading, seminar preparation and weekly questions will require 12 hours of my time a week OMG what about the other three units. This is going to be a mammoth task but I am determined to finish on a high so I will be giving it my all. Another reason behind my decision to cut out the "BOX" so to speak.

It is awfully quite without any ambient noise in the background, but I will learn to adapt. One strange thing did happen tonight that I must share. I recently purchased some power saving remote switches that allow me to turn off my theatre and lounge TV components at the wall, so no more standby costs. I was walking past the theatre which had been turned off all day and the TV was on? so I grabbed the power remote and switched it off - who knows, maybe a glitch. Then 5 minutes later I walked past again and the TV was on again, I know I definitely turned it off. A little freaked, maybe the TV wants me to watch it.... However being as rational as I am it is more than likely a faulty switch that I will have to check tomorrow, as I did have one similar that I returned earlier this week, NOT HAPPY JAN.....

Chow for now ..... committed to the cause!

  1. Good for you Adam!

    From time to time we have a TV free week. Throwing a rug over the box is enough to make me stop and think before switching it on.

    My biggest time waster is staring at this screen though...

  2. Thanks for the support ... I hope I offer some entertainment along the way - Seriously.

    I can most definitely agree with the other screen that you talk of, but I would much prefer that as it feels like you are still doing something. I hope all is well.
