I hope I could still rent DVDs (I just started using RedBox!)<br /><br />Yesterday, I forgot my cellphone at home and felt lost all day. I went home and saw tons of texts and missed calls and voice mails (which is surprising, because that doesn't usually happen)<br /><br />I think that as long as I can look up ridiculous things on YouTube that are not tv related, I'd be good giving up tv for a year. (I mean I just did that like 1.5 years ago...) But going without a cellphone would present logistical problems since I don't have a landline and would have no way other than email to communicate with my family.

And I did just fine for four years. Now it would be really hard to give up either of them for even one year, though I'm sure I'd adapt. I'm not wedded to my cell phone, but TV would be more convenient to give up. It would just be sad because I enjoy movies and televisions shows and talking about them with other people ("Did you see the latest Community? is always a topic of conversation at family dinner on Sunday).Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01690477015680812905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449255540951766363.post-19813783444099756972011-04-08T07:19:00.413-04:002011-04-08T07:19:00.413-04:00I would totally ditch my cell phone.

Tv is a big source of entertainment and relaxation for me, though. Maybe I watch too much tv when I could be doing other things, so it would probably be the best for me to give tv up. I'd rather give up the cell phone though.

I only just got a fancy cell and since I use it mainly to talk with family (don't have a land line) or read books(generally classica cause they are free) I think I'll keep it. Those are better uses of my time than TV. I would have to go to the movies a lot instead.
