http://people.bakersfield.com/home/Blog/TheInsider/19204 Reflecting on&nbsp;2007, I was living in autopilot. I need to mix things up a bit. One of my problems is that I'm a bit of a couch potato at night. I get lazy and then don't do the things I would rather do- like read or&nbsp;paint....&nbsp;or what I SHOULD do- like clean and exercise. So, my resolution&nbsp;for 2008, is to watch less&nbsp;TV. The writer's strike has gotten me to watch less, but I need to keep the momentum going. I thought about cutting off my digital cable subscription, but I don't think I can go cold turkey like that. &nbsp;I usually watch KGET, TLC, PBS,&nbsp;CNN, and&nbsp;Bravo.&nbsp;I do end up watching a lot of mind-numbing crap too.So, what about you? What do you end up watching? Are you a couch potato too? Did you know that you can review&nbsp;the local&nbsp;TV stations on the Inside Guide? What do you think of our local tv newcasts? Be sure to rate them!&nbsp;&nbsp; Reflecting on&nbsp;2007, I was living in autopilot. I need to mix things up a bit. One of my problems is that I'm a bit of a couch potato at night.
