Ten on Tuesday.

This week's topic is ten things to do instead of watch TV. Since I rarely watch TV -- no cable, no satellite -- I feel imminently qualified for this one. (Just as I felt like an expert on last week's ten things to bring along on a camping trip -- I generally feel qualified to offer my opinion on just about anything.)

Ten Things to Do Instead of Watch TV

1. Read knitting blogs. Duh.
2. Read the news online. I recommend the New York Times Skimmer. I also skim the headlines in my Google Reader from The Morning News and NPR Topics.
3. Catch up on other social networking stuff -- Ravelry, Facebook, Twitter, whatevs.
4. Read a book.
5. Listen to an audiobook (or music or a podcast) and knit.
6. Talk to your spouse / significant other / kids / housemate / roommate.
7. Call your mother / father / son / daughter / friend you haven't talked to in awhile.
8. Take a nap.
9. Go for a walk.
10. Clear up that annoying pile of paperwork that has accumulated on the kitchen counter.

Personally, I do #1 - 6 regularly and #10 occasionally. I never call anyone or take a walk, and my naps tend to be earlier in the day than prime time.
