I've done pretty well this year without television(not that I've had much
of a choice as my television only picks up ABC) though lately I've been
scrambling to find places to watch the playoffs(go Tampa and go
Atlanta-unless they are playing each other then go Tampa!)  and I go to the
Westville pub on Sundays to watch the Simpsons, come hell or highwater. 
Otherwise there's not really anything I want to watch.  IMO, all these
reality shows that are becoming more and more outlandish (and stupider)
have led to the deterioration of good programming on television.  On my
upcoming cd there will actually be a song called "Real World" I wrote after
I stopped watching any television and realized that I didn't really miss it
much.

as for favorite cd's of 2002:

Beck- Sea Change
Norah Jones- Come Away With Me
James Taylor- October Road
Tom Waits- Alice
India Arie- Voyage to India
 
and speaking of reading I read "Crime and Punishment" yesterday in one day.
I suppose it is somewhat of a long book but I got so wrapped up in the
story I lost any sense of time.  I've just started reading more lately,
something I haven't done for a long time and it feels so good.
