rambling about cable television...

It's odd, I miss having cable. I'm not one of the intelligensia who believe that tv is evil or low-brow or whatever. I'm just trying to see what my new living situation needs in terms of cash influx, then I will adjust and hopefully re up for cable. Honestly, I haven't been home enough to watch much anyway, and I *need* to unpack, so it's not like I should be watching it anyway. I'm strangely glad not to have it this week, because all I really need is to see countless memorial shows about the WTC (though I get recaps at work, which is... unsettling). But still. That show Carnivale starts this weekend, and I was kind of looking forward to it, and now I won't be getting to see it unless I convince someone to tape it for me. I mean, really, a drama about a freak show? It sounds tailor made for me. The only way it could sound better is if there were random Illuminati references in it or exorcisms.

Which day does it start? Bring a tape tomorrow, and I'll do it, since I was planning on watching it anyway. And you never know what they might mention.

And of course, in another week or so, we've got the history of vampires and werewolves, to coincide with the opening of Underworld.

And then there's Halloween. Prime time for exorcisms.

TV is good for you! (I'd be unpacking to the tv if I was in your situation.)

I avoided TVs all day. Even dodged the radio news (caught a little near the end and was all the more miserable for it). I never finished the illuminatus books, hmm - some day.
