no cable
so i found out that i could cut my cable bill nearly in half by cancelling the cable tv and only having a cable modem. this seemed like a good idea. i never watch tv except for the daily show, the colbert report, and cartoon network's adult swim. and even when i do decide to watch tv other than those three things, which usually only happens when i have insomnia, i'm incredibly irritated by the fact that there's nothing on worth watching. in fact, half of what's on only pisses me off. so i had them cancel my cable tv today. this is a very good idea. i'm saving money and, most likely, brain cells. however, i am also currently realizing how relaxing it is to just sit a flip through the channels. i'm too tired to read and i like the couch better than the computer chair. oh well. i'll adapt soon. i've lived a perfectly normal and healthy life before without cable.
