My 4 year old RCA TV is on its way out, and the viewable area is now so thin that everything I watch has an all-midget cast. We don’t even receive television–broadcast or cable–but we do play X-Box and watch DVDs.
The initial result is that I have stopped playing Oblivion. The secondary result is that I have started drawing and writing again. This has not only made me more productive, but it has made my brain more active, and therefore, harder to sleep.
Interestingly enough, though, instead of making me tired, I actually feel more rested.
