TV - good or evil?

I cut my cable off last week and I can't figure out what I'm supposed to do with my time. I've read some books. I play with my cat. Sometimes I sleep. Mostly I sleep. Oh, and sit in front of another screen - the computer screen. I find that email is like cooking. . . a watched pot never boils.

I watched Ocean's Eleven, then immediately after, I watch it again. This time with the actor's commentary. Wow. Does this mean my life is dependent upon the television? Or is my life just really that boring? I live by myself, so I'm constantly having to find things to keep myself busy. On the same note, I went with a large group of elementary students to a park. They were supposed to stay outside for about 4 hours and 1 1/2 hours into it, they were bored. One of the teachers made the comment that it's good for them to get outside like this because they remember how to use their imagination. Is that what's happened to me? Have I lost my imagination?
