You know, it's kind of shocking how happy the new tasks make me each week.

I just love new tasks.

I don't have a television. Can I kill someone else's television? Would that be murder 1?

I think that would just be brilliant.

And murder 1.

Not that I'd kill mine, but honestly my computer is my television. Between the literal (TV & movies) and conceptual (devourer of time), the substitution is pretty apt.

Anyway, maybe it's time for a Craigslist Free or sidewalk television? In Chicago, Ian and I had a TV we found on the street (and then painted). It had some bizarre electrical problem where it could be turned on, but you'd have to sit there pressing the power button over and over for between 5 and 15 minutes. The added difficulty made it so that watching TV really had to be worth it, and I highly recommend everyone get a barely-functional television.

You must mean Mr. Tv
oh wait that was Venice Beach.

I swear I have been listening to a tea pot boiling for an hour and a half.

Yes, Kill Your Television. This was done with weapons and expert planning... and a video camera: We used not only strength, but blood sweat and tears... no, for real... there was blood. Doesn't look like much here, but that's because the wound h...
