Killing the TV.

Nothing good happens after 2AM, right? I just left a holiday party and everyone else is going out dancing. But they’re all in their 20’s and I’m not. I should probably get to sleep earlier than I did last night, but it’s already getting close to 1:15AM again. One of these days I should try to get a decent amount of sleep.

These holiday parties also mean lots of eating and drinking. I did a lot of work to get into better physical condition and I could blow it all this month. Sure I feel better and I look better but it’s not really getting me anywhere so why not offset it with some more holiday merriment?

I finally canceled my cable TV service. So much for my primary form of entertainment. I live in a neighborhood that is at the base of the hill where the TV antennas for the city are located, so we can’t get reception at the house unless we have cable. There’s a chance that we could get satellite TV, but we’re on the north side of the hill so we might be out of luck trying to get a satellite signal. In any case, I’ve been having trouble with the cable lately, mainly with ingress, where I see both the cable TV image and also the image from the local TV station. Basically, it looks like hell. I got tired of it and decided to try to live without TV altogether.

I’m surprised how little grief I got from Comcast for canceling my service. I keep hearing how they’ll give you great deals to keep you as a customer but I got bupkis. Which is fine by me, really, until the bowl games start. I may feel kind of odd tomorrow when the football games are going on and I can’t watch them. Oh, well.

One thought on “Killing the TV.”

  1. So many shows can be watched online now too. And never underestimate how valuable a Netflix subscription is. I used to live in Washougal too far out for cable and too many trees for satellite. I started working my way through TV series one DVD at a time. It rocked.
