I'm sort of the same as a few others here: I have access to a TV, but  
never watch it.

There's been some shows on lately I've been meaning to watch, but I

something I can easily do without.

newspapers on the net at various times -- mostly the UK newspaper The  
Guardian.

Not for a little while. Don't get overexcited though, we've just  
moved on to a different war ;-)
