Activity : Watching television
Notes : There is all different kinds of media on the television. I noticed in the lower right hand corner there was always an advertisement for Warner Brothers. I also payed closer attention to the commercials, and then i realized that the commercials were almost as long as the show i was watching.

    This looks okay. I looked into why you my not be able to see returns between paragraphs and Blogger is known to have a few bugs. As a workaround type the break tag (HTML) after every line where you want to see a return. You can edit your post and try this.
