The Great American Log-Off: A week of Doober.

so here's what happened...i participated in the "Great American Log-Off" last week. (Ok, I know there were only four of us...but I think it could be a great American thing someday...if we market it correctly, right nathan? hey, remember your plan about advertising an all-carb diet, and people would go for that too, as long as you did it right?) Well, here's the up-side. I wasn't stuck in a chair for hours on end all week, doing mindless things like playing tetris and repeatedly checking blogs to see if anyone had updated within the last ten minutes. Instead, I went out, I saw movies, I did homework, I read a little, I practiced my spanish more (I talked on the phone with my boyfriend for the first time...although, I wouldn't really consider that practicing spanish. It was more like he'd say something and I'd say, "que?" a couple times before I got it and tried my best to answer. A little discouraging, but I'm glad that I did it.) I hung out with the cuz and the bro 'n fam. Saw some sweet accordian-playing. Ate a lot of good food. It was great. But it was about $40 more expensive than a normal week for me. So, I guess it's a toss-up. If I'm sitting in front of a computer all the time getting dumber, then I'm saving money. If I'm out, being active, treating my mind to new things, then I'm out 40 bucks a week. I guess there's a compromise in there somewhere, but I'm hungry, so I'm gonna go get something to eat instead of work it out. Hey, you know what the funny part is? I don't even really like tetris.
