Area resident Jonathan Green does not own a television, a fact he repeatedly points out to friends, family, and coworkers–as well as to his mailman, neighborhood convenience-store clerks, and the man who cleans the hallways in his apartment building.
Jonathan Green, who tells as many people as possible that he is "fully weaned off the glass teat."
"I, personally, would rather spend my time doing something useful than watch television," Green told a random woman Monday at the Suds 'N' Duds Laundromat, noticing the establishment's wall-mounted TV. "I don't even own one."
According to Melinda Elkins, a coworker of Green's at The Frame Job, a Chapel Hill picture-frame shop, Green steers the conversation toward television whenever possible, just so he can mention not owning one.

Ooh, fun! I am lucky enough to have Jon Snow as a Dean, I think. He goes missing from the castle fairly regularly as he has a national profile, but has a good heart and is competent and mostly well-respected. Unfortunately, the dept. chair is more of a Tommen...
ReplyDeleteI am a girl with no name.
ReplyDeleteAll my Deans are Tommens.
ReplyDeleteBrynden Tully--just waiting for Provost Jamie Lannister's next move
ReplyDeleteMy department needs a Kingslayer.
ReplyDeleteMay I add a partner? Brienne of Tarth, loyal, dedicated, honorable--what a college teacher should be, a champion. I wish we worked in the same college.
ReplyDeleteI can't spell it and I'm not as pretty, but I wish I looked like Danerys Stormborn and could take those dragons to faculty meetings.
ReplyDeleteGame of What? I am too poor to afford pay cable tv.
ReplyDeleteMy department has far less nudity than GOT.
ReplyDeleteSame here, and I am profoundly grateful.
DeleteI've tried reading and watching GoT and just can't get into it.
ReplyDeleteThat said, my president reminds me of GRR Martin, as neither of them write in ways that hold my interest.
I could compare a few colleagues to Harry Potter characters: I know a perfect Lockhart, and a couple of would-be Slughorns.
There are so many connivers at LD3C that I'd think the entire place was run by Littlefinger clones ... except that none of the administrators where I work are nearly as clever.
ReplyDeleteYES to this!
DeleteNick
I wish I was Yara or Arya!
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't mind having Peter Dinklage as provost.
