We have a cleaning person come every two weeks. It's AWESOME. Two dogs and two cats make a lot of furballs, yo.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, nail polish, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
New Natter! Yay!
Turner Classic Movies alone occupies such a large chunk of my viewing that it would be difficult to forego cable. Throw in baseball, Mad Men and the kids programming, and its rare for us to go into the "low channels." I think it's just HIMYM and Glee now, and we for a long time it was just HIMYM.
I got an email from Roku this week declaring that soon Hulu will be on Roku. So exciting!!

I value finding things I wasn't looking for.
Like, the difference between a great song coming up on the radio and just punching it up on your iPod?
Similar to what I like about going into a bookstore and browsing. It's a form of thinking for me, a kind of meditation. I get the same thing from scrolling through the listings of upcoming TCM movies and marking them to record then watching them.
The few times I've been cable-less and watching shows online instead, the picture quality just depressed me. Maybe we shouldn't have bought such a nice TV when we upgraded everything to HD!

Me too.

Yeah, I did scale down my cable and lose TCM, but I do miss that a little. Not enough to pay fifteen or twenty bucks a month, but a little.
I enjoy those thing too, just not enough to pay for the difference of Netflix vs. cable. $9.80 vs. $80.00/month. Plus, I can browse the movies on Netflix and build a ridiculously long queue to surprise me.
