Television: August 2006 Archives

the title is what it is because "cable free in 07" doesn't sound as good. 

this weekend, we went cable free and i am happy to say, i do not miss it one bit.  before thomas and i were together, i actually did not own a tv.

and then thomas and i met.  and dated.  and moved in together, and suddenly, i was faced with having a tv.  oh, the boob tube and its mind numbing effects.

we got cable a bit later.  and then let the crack, coke-snorting party begin.  it opened my world to dvr, which i do miss.  but i could watch mtv and lifetime and cnn and pbs and the wb and disney and all sorts of other channels with perfect reception.

and now.  well now.  i have one wonderful netflix subscription and i am cable free.  i do not feel the need to turn the tv on to nothing when i get home and mindlessly melt into the couch and become one with nothingness as my mind merges with the red, green and blue emissions.  now, i actually sit down in peace and read, or watch a dvd of gilmore girls.  it is amazing.

now if i could only give up bacon.
