I have been trying to do things to make myself a better person. I thought about going back to school (do not feel like driving three hours to class), thought about going on a diet (I do not like to diet), thought about volunteering at SOS (you think I am kidding but the animal shelter will not call me back all I want to do is walk those cute little dogs), so I have decided to do something very easy I am going to go for two weeks (unless I get sick) with out television. There is one catch I can watch TV as long it is the news..... and so I do not cheat there are only two news channels I watch Fox News (Molly you should watch Fox it will help you face reality) and CNBC. What am I going to do with all of that extra time I plop my (since college extra 10 lbs ass) is front of the TV, i am going to read. So if anyone reads my blog (which I think I may be the only one that reads my blog) please give me some recommendations for a good book and before you say it I have already read the "Kite Runner" (for some reason if I ask anyone for a good read they say the kite runner).
Oh and by the way I complain about the extra 10 pounds on my lovely frame do you think it is because I sit in front of the TV at night and go through an entire pint of Ben and Jerry's cake batter.......possibly, so therefor I figure if my hands are occupied by holding a book I will not stuff my face with sinful treats and cholesterol laden buckets of pleasure.

Bern, thanks for the suggestion on the Fox news situation. I didn't realize that I needed help "facing reality"
fox news is full of crap. and often is not really news, but celebrity scandals, etc. bill o'reilly is a right wing freak. use CNN instead of Fox News for your news, or better yet, don't watch TV news and just read the NY Times for the next two weeks.
you should read "The Namesake" by Jhumpa Lahiri. Also "Life of Pi" is good.
why dont you get a job like everybody else?
