I SPENT WAY too much time scouring the internet for political news in the past few months. I was like a cheap addict -- it really was pathetic. I suppose it's tempting to think I'm just being self-depricating or invoking some sort of blogosphere hyperbole. But I'm not. I was up way to late and up way to early on most days -- mainly because I was worried about the information I might have missed in the 5-6 hours since I last logged-on. I guess this is what happens when you don't have 24-hour news channels. I realized I was now in 'de-tox' last night when Kerri looked at me (during an episode of CSI) and asked why I didn't have the computer on my lap. 'What's the matter' she asked in a rather obviously mocking tone. 'Nothing to look at on the internet anymore?" And she was right. I didn't have any sites to check and recheck; no poll numbers to pour over; no videos to watch.
So I guess that's it. The election is over. What am I supposed to do now?
Work?
Spend time with my family?
CJS
Late Update: In response to a comment, here are the 5 sites I checked (and in this order) everytime I got onto the computer:
Oops, that's six.

I was on the internet all the time as well. What sites did you frequent?
What? No Daily Kos?
Ha ha, me too! The internet seems strangely empty now that I don't have to worry about Sarah Palin for at least 4 years! Time to find a new obsession....
