Was chatting online with a guy this afternoon, a slackavist in his late 20s, works in IT somewhere along Ortigas... the usual pleasantries...
He was 'aghast' (his own word) at how/why I've never watched a single episode of 'Desperate Housewives'. And I told him that I don't have a TV. A very long pause...
He comes back online and asks what I do instead of watching cable. And I told him I enjoy reading a lot and asked him what his favorite books were? Another long pause...
I ask him if he's ever read JD Salinger's 'Catcher In The Rye' and told him he should and that it's one of my favorite books of all time.
His reply: "I'll just wait for the movie version".
I GO OFF-LINE!
If he added up the cost of cable, his TV, his electricity costs, etc., I wonder whether he would think twice. Oh, maybe he still lives with the parents so that's something he does not understand. Or maybe if you offered to read books to him. :-)
