They say that ridding television from your life is supposed to be liberating...I say life without tv is not a life worth living. Drastic? Maybe. I've been without tv for aboot 6 days and I'm literally going out of my mind. What is there to do when you can't watch tv you ask? Well since I haven't got a life, um...that'd be zilch. Sure I could be a productive and contributing member of society, but where's the fun in that? I want to be on my couch channel surfing until the sun comes up. I want to know what the secret ingredient is on Iron Chef. I want to watch half-wits try to answer "common knowledge" questions in the Cash Cab. But how can I do this if I can't get no reception?
I thank the big man upstairs for granting me with internet access because otherwise...who knows. I've found a way to watch most of my shows online for free...I mean...I pay? Anyways, the drawback is that I have to wait until the next day (or several hours later -ahhh agony!) to catch my shows. Tonight is Thursday though and I'm sad that I won't be able to watch the lineup until tomorrow...why God? WHY?
Don't fret all, I'll live. Those movie machines outside the grocery store are a God-send. Over the past few days, I've watched Up in the Air, The Invention of Lying, 500 Days of Summer and Alice in Wonderland. I suppose it's better than being completely cut off from technology but it's not as great as FRIENDS and Seinfeld repeats. It's a bit of a stick in my spoke though because I've gotten used to watching (and falling asleep to) Roseanne and Buffy in the wee hours of the morning. What's better than waking up in the middle of the night to Buffy's witty banter as she's kicking vampire ass? Nothing.
Hilarious. I miss that show...
I think we get our cable back tomorrow - life will resume as per usual. In the meantime, I guess I'll have to settle for free Hulu shows with commercials - blah!
And another pointless short post from C Bandit.
You're welcome.
