Second in the series of things I have been meaning to post, but never got around to.

Some time in November I was chosen as a Neilsen family for one week. This is only funny if you know that I found my TV sitting on the curb with the trash. I don't have cable, satellite, or even an antenna. The TV is plugged into my DVD player or sometimes my Game Cube.

The friendly people at Neilsen paid me 10 USD to fill out a little book. I told the little book that I don't watch TV. It was easy. At the end of the book there was a comments section. I wanted to be helpful so I told them that they should bring back My So-Called Life... Well they should.

Also Neilsen has some very strange rules. For instance if you have a TV with a broken tube and you use it to listen to broadcasts your input is wanted. However, if you have a radio which picks up the offset carrier for TV audio your input is not wanted.

As for today, I went out and bought desk stuff for my desk at work. I cleaned and ran errands all day. I cannot point to any single monumental accomplishment, but all in all it was still a very productive day.
