entertainment value

After complaining about texting, I have to admit I won't know what to do with new space I've created in my life. I quit match. Opening email no longer involves any drama, and I didn't realize how much I was relying on surprises in my inbox to entertain me. No more possibilities to imagine-- just the reality of the men already in my life. I will have to start reading again for escapism.

In philosophy club we were talking about how news makes us dumb because it requires a constant feed of new information with no time for reflection. I'm seeing how this carries over into my daily habits and need for information and stimulation.
