In any case, I got my desk full of good books to read - the memory book, blink, steve's book, books on qigong - some of them have arrived from Amazon just in time for my decision to cut movie watching for a while. I'll give it a try. I also have a lot of audio podcasts to listen to, and of course things to do that I need to expand on. I won't have much trouble "filling the hours"
That's one thing about me - I never got bored once in maybe 7 years now. The only question is choosing the best possible activity at all times. Right now, movies seem like the worse activity, because they make me all passive and unfocused and unwilling to go. And I wanna feel ready to go. I want - if someone calls me at 2 o'clock in the morning and invites me to a club, I wanna grab my wallet and snap out the door. If someone asks me to go to the seaside tomorrow, I wanna be ready to say yes (or no) according to my schedule, without having to first draw myself out of the movie I was watching.
