In David’s case, this feeling was brought on by being on a plane, but this is pretty much how I feel about TV most of the time…
Via Wondermark:
With my ear against the headrest, the entire airplane resonates. I bring work onto airplanes, my dear Internet, but it is impossible to think in here. Even watching television becomes a chore. Since when has watching television been a chore? Since we started to feel compelled to appreciate things. I do not like wasting time. I do not like watching things that I cannot appreciate. Everything is exhausting, now, even watching television. This time, I can’t manage it.
Off to the SF MOMA mueseum cafe for lunch, then more SF explorations!

I hit the link and read David’s entire post from which you quote. I’m not here to advocate watching TV, but I can’t figure out how he got from A (a sort of dreamy recitation about flying on airplanes) to B (the bit about appreciation, wasting time, and television).
Probably just me.
Oh, and where did the dog come in?
