It turns out that a volcano erupted not far from Tokyo almost 3 days ago – and I never knew. It’s just so easy to be oblivious even to events that occur in the country you happen to live in! Though I guess my lack of a television probably contributes to why I tend to be a little behind on current events.
In general, I don’t mind the lack of a TV – no time to watch even if I did have one, and I get my TV shows and cartoons using… “alternative” means (^^; This suits me fine most times. However, every now and then I worry that something will happen (Gojira might stomp on Tokyo, aliens might invade earth… or volcanoes might erupt. I think I am most definitely going to get a TV of my own whenever I move into my own place.
