Wasting Time

No, this post is not what you think. Many of you that have read this blog....er all 5 of you...will know that I've talked about how I struggle with whether or not I waste too much time watching TV. It turns out, participating in pop culture (movies, tv and video games) may not be the waste of time than I thought it was. In fact, it may be actually be making me smarter.

Don't take my word for it, check out this great article by Malcolm Gladwell. Apparently the involved and interwoven plot lines of my new delight, 24, are potentially more practically educational that reading a book.

(For those of you who don't know who Malcolm Gladwell is, he's a writer for The New Yorker and I highly recommend his books The Tipping Point and Blink.)
