[...] ThisÂ whole ‘no more teevee‘ thing is becoming realer and realer by the day: the box in which I will bury — err, ship back my satellite receiver to its legal owners (Dish, Inc.) arrived today. And sometime later this week, I will be physically removing the large black plastic-and-glass cubic companion that his been with me since 1998. [...]

[...] It has now been one week since I left behind my teevee life. Since that day, I have slept like a baby, worked with greater efficiency, gotten back on the blogging wagon, and in general led a much more fulfilling life. Yes, I did watch The Sopranos at Louella’s house on Sunday night. But – guess what – watching the show was in the context of a social visit, spending time with friends. And the rest of the intervening 168 hours has been occupied with non-teevee activity.

Morpheus: The Matrix is everywhere, it is all around us. Even now, in this very room. You can see it when you look out your window, or when you turn on your television. You can feel it when you go to work, or when you go to church or when you pay your taxes. It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth.
Neo: What truth?
Morpheus: That you are a slave, Neo. Like everyone else, you were born into bondage, born inside a prison that you cannot smell, taste, or touch. A prison for your mind. (long pause, sighs) Unfortunately, no one can be told what the Matrix is. You have to see it for yourself. This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back.
(In his left hand, Morpheus shows a blue pill.)
Morpheus: You take the blue pill and the story ends. You wake in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. (a red pill is shown in his other hand) You take the red pill and you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes. (Long pause; Neo begins to reach for the red pill) Remember — all I am offering is the truth, nothing more.
(Neo takes the red pill and swallows it with a glass of water)
