Avatar and the ceiling fans

Big day today. I want to get in at least one ceiling fan, get all the laundry done and get in some quality screw around time as well... which brings me to my latest gripe. I miss the Avatar. For those of you who don't know it is a cartoon on Nick. I don't know if it was the writers strike or what but they haven't been churning out any new ones in a while. Hayden, Joy and I started watching this from the get go and we're all really hooked. In fact it's pretty much the only show Joy and I actually try to watch every episode of. Anyway, I've gone as far as pirating the last two just to see them.

Speaking of TV, I'm kind of getting sick of it. In our house it's on Noggin pretty much all day. Noggin is a great pre-school only station. It's all educational stuff and it's pretty much all Hayden watches. Other then that I'll maybe watch Discovery but that's it. So why are we paying for all these other channels? It's all crap most of the time. I'm thinking I should cut back the cable channels a little and maybe they can upgrade my internet speed without increasing the bill. More speed means more shooting other people!!

I think that the less TV you watch directly affects how happy you are. I never want to be one of those "TV is always on" families. We had some friends that would do that. No matter what was going on that thing was on... and it was loud. God, that drove me nuts. Try to spend a day at your house with it off. Don't cheat and have plans, just keep it off on a stay at home day. It's really relaxing... once you get over the withdrawals!
