I heard someone in one of these threads say "if your TV dies, do you quit paying your cable bill?"  

Plus as you know, there's not much leisure time to reflect upon one's existential situation during architecture school.

Over the last ten years the proliferation of "reality" TV has made the real estate investing, in particular flipping, "sexy".

I work in Los Angeles as a Reality TV Editor but spending 10-12 hours in an editing bay has not only killed my eyes but OPENED my eyes to realizing this is not what I want to do for the rest of my life.

For me, my off time would have otherwise been spend performing menial tasks and/or wasted watching tv.

Its not as simple as it looks on TV. 

Anyone in SD seen this commercial on TV.

I meant to say that when you are listening well, you will realize you need to take notes and you'll start to turn off the TV and listen to them at home where you can take notes. 

@Colton Sibley Don't let the TV ads throw you for a loop.

Thanks for the advice about the lamp and TV.
