Background: Ever since I can remember I have watched TV at least 3 hours a day unless I'm traveling or something like that. All last semester, as a result of the fine programming on HBO and terrible yet train-wreck esque programming on Cinemax I bumped this up to about 5 hours which caused all sorts of undesireable effects
Since I came home from school-and the TV in my room was struck by lighting, rendering it useless-I've cut this down to about 1 and a half hours a day with the occassional 3 hour binge.
The challenge: In order to wean myself off of these binges and to prepare myself for life without TV (I won't be bringing one with me to graduate school) I decided to go 1 week without watching TV. Now, I don't consider walking into a room when someone else's TV is on to be a breach of this nor any similar actions which consitute me "watching" TV but not of my own volition and not for any prolonged period of time.
If you want to gamble amongst eachother as to whether or not I can do this go ahead.
