So I have this nasty sore throat and I tried to combat it by drinking a lot of Sunkist orange soda and now I'm totally wired and can't get to sleep which is just going to make me feel even worse at work tomorrow. Yuck.
I decided to shell out the extra ten bucks a month and get digital cable. For some reason we've been getting all the digital cable channels up to 95 but we can't get the ones over that, which blows cuz that's where M2 and Noggin and all the other good stuff hides. For those who don't know, Noggin is this network that is a joint venture of Nickelodeon and the Children's Television Workshop. During the day it pretty much just shows, like, Allegra's Window and Doug and Bill Nye the Science Guy, but at night it kicks ass -- it's like 7 straight hours of old Sesame Streets and Electric Company and 3-2-1 Contact and Square One. So basically all the old CTW stuff from the 70s and 80s. Rock! Now, if Nickelodeon finally pulls its share and they start showing Pinwheel and Todays Special, I may wet myself.
But yeah, so they just raised our Road Runner cable modem monthly price anyway, so I figured I'd just bite the bullet and get the package that gets us the most bang forour buck. We'll get like 96 HBOs and 57 Encores and crap. No one could actually watch all that, but what we will end up getting is definetly worth 10 measly extra bucks a month in the scheme of things. Plus when things calm down at work, I'm planning on taking a mini-vacation to make up for the fact that I didn't get one at Christmastime. I'm thinking I tape Noggin every night until then and have a mad vintage Sesame Street marathon for like a week. Roosevelt Franklin and Forgetful Jones, here I mothafuckin' come!
