day 1

ah, good old ottawa.

in an attempt to expand my mind, and continue down the path i started when i was busy with school, i am attempting to watch no mindless television while home on vacation. this will prove to be a difficult challenge, so i've decided to set down the rules here, in hopes that it'll mean i'll follow them more closely.

1) Mindless means unplanned, firstly. Unplanned means sitting down just to click on the tv to see what's on.

2) Mindless means stupid. Even if I know that a certain show is on, but it's completely a waste of my time to watch (aka the O.C.), there will be no watching of said show.

3) Veronica Mars, and Grey's Anatomy are allowed. V.Mars because it's my favourite show, and Grey's because it gives me an excuse to cry every week.

4) Jeopardy is allowed, because I learn from watching Jeopardy.

5) Documentaries on the Discovery Channel are allowed, for the same reason as Jeopardy.

6) Rented movies are allowed.

Instead there will be books, running outside, surfing the Net, looking for jobs, working on my CV, and hanging out with friends.
