I need to cut the cord Real Soon. Especially now that I'm kind of mostly over Game of Thrones.
Natter 73: Chuck Norris only wishes he could Natter
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Going on 11 years without it now here.
People keep coming to the door shilling for cable. They get a panicky look in their eye when I tell them I run off the antenna and Internet. But then these are kids who got sucked into the "You can get rich easy if you're just motivated enough to sell-sell-sell!" thing. But I don't feel sorry enough to sign up with Comcast. I'll go satellite first.
DirecTV has me in their clutches because football. Even the Xfinity guy had to concede that he had no way to pry me away.
Coffee shop was a good call. I planned to walk Walter down. Get my coffee and go home, but he talked me into a longer walk. Sitting on a bench at City Hall enjoying the grey and chilly day.
Apparently there's piped music along the waterfront, which I guess I knew but only really notice at Christmastime. Today it was playing an orchestral (or strings) version of The Wall.
10 years without.
Work is boring me, but I really need to do a tedious task. Maybe tomorrow.
About a month ago I cut the cord. They haven't gotten around to turning off my cable yet. It makes me wish I had more than basic cable before the snip.
The thing is, there isn't even really anything I want to watch on TV, I prefer the stuff I see on PBS. So cable makes no sense for me.
We haven't had cable for at least five years.
My cable/internet is provided by a group deal via my landlord, so I couldn't change service providers if I wanted to.
I am just waiting for someone to try and sell me on AT&T phone service so I can share the tale of my years-long struggle with collection agencies they sicced on me in error and tell them I'd resort to carrier pigeon before going back to AT&T.
75% of what I watch is network anyway, or Ion reruns. It's sports that keeps stopping me from making the change, and to a lesser extent news channels.
