In Which I Ask For Advice

I packed up my things in my CRV, and if it didn't fit, I didn't bring it.

This means I'm sans television and I'm not sure how I feel about that. I'm also not sure we have cable in the apartment - my roommate says no, but I have about three cable cords in my room, which makes me think that the guy living here before was watching TV. And I think the roommate (who is thus non-existent and handles the cable bill) has a TV in her basement lair suite. REGARDLESS, not having television could be a great thing - it won't be a time suck and I can watch shows on my own time on the internet.  But I also know that television dulls loneliness and I could use some of that right now.  (Did I mention my roommates are practically non-existent?) I've gone without television for months before, so I don't think it would be a huge shock to my system. But I'm also not one to waste a lot of time in front of a TV, so not having one is a bit of a drastic measure to avoid wasting time. And it is nice to put it on in the background and/or get lost in it after a long day. Do you have any thoughts on TV v. No TV?

This also means that I don't have any "real" furniture. I'm sleeping on an Areobed. It's higher than a normal air mattress, and so far it has been fine (advantage of being tiny!), but I want to ask your opinion. Do you guys have experience sleeping on air mattress long-term? How long can I go before I have to cave in and buy a bed? (Please say at least six months...) Also, I thought I would have to buy plastic drawers to store my clothing, but so far I seem to have enough room (read: I have two closets!). But - any thoughts on great ways to store clothing that doesn't involve heavy furniture (in the event that I do need more storage space)?
