i have a tv that doesn't get reception. and i'm too poor and don't care enough to get cable.
when i AM near a tv it basically boils down to:
the travel channel (bizzarre foods!)
the national geographic channel (taboo!)
the discovery channel (mythbusters!)
the food network (paula deen!)
the news (world events!)
and, of course... "the L word" (jennifer beals! no, leisha hailey! no...) ,
i'm not as much of a reader as i'd like to be but... currently reading:
