Ever have one of those days where you just want to lie around on the couch and be as lazy as humany possible, turn on the old boob tube on and eat endless amounts of food? Well today is one of those days. Its my day off and nothing in my life requires my immediate attention.
Well a girl can dream, I won't be having one of those days for a long time! The essence of this day is lost in my world! Sure I can lie on the couch and eat....in front of a blank television screen.
Thats right folks I have no tv. Well the physical object exists in my living room but with no cable going through it. Normally I don't care about tv. I used to have peasant vision (when you only get the channels that come along with just simply plugging your tv in), this was fine with me. I found shows on that I could watch and be satisfied with. I don't have peasant vision or anything else due to the fact that I live out of town. Again, normally this does not concern me, until today. I am bored and all I want to do is watch mindless tv, however this is not going to happen.
You are probably wondering why I don't just call the cable company and get them to set up cable in my house. Well for me its not as simple as it sounds. Its an on-going battle with my husband. He does not like tv therefore he does not care if we have it. He would rather watch a movie any day. I like movies as much as the next person but there comes a point when I just want to watch something other than a fricking movie. Its bad enough that we watch movies at night after dinner before bed. Movies for breakfast, lunch and dinner...man that is a lot of movies, too many for me to handle. I need to know whats going on outside this house!
I have brought this issue up with him several times, he sees it as a waste of money. I see it as entertainment. Its a battle that will be going for a while, but someday I will win.
Rather than dwell on how pissy I am about the subject I must look at it in this light: perhaps not having cable during the schoolyear is ok. I am in my last year of school and I really need to buckle down and put my nose to the grindstone rather than worry about whats on tv!
However, during these summer months when I have freedom it would be nice to spend that freedom however I choose, watching mindless tv.!

Wow, you must be bored! The new page looks great! So many changes but it looks awesome. I don't know how you do it with no t.v. Don't get me wrong, it's not like I need t.v. to live, but it sure helps. I love my shows. I make plans around my shows sometimes, and it's become like a little date night at our house. The night is Thursdays, and Mark and I never make plans, get a pizza and tuck ourselves in on the couch to watch our shows. I know, it sounds silly, but it's just become one of those "things" we do. So, take away my t.v., take away my date night. I don't think so. You fight this battle girl, fight it hard, and you WILL WIN!!!
