*clings to internet*

[severina2001]

In the ongoing quest to Get My Life In Order,, I finally called on Wednesday and cancelled my cable television. The very nice CSR assured me multiple times, without any prompting, that this would not affect my internet service. The cable was scheduled to be turned off on Friday

CAKE!!?

Wow. You totally called this. And as much as you curse technology, you totally need the internet. *nods*. But not cable. Good work. Although... You should check and see if they turned that back on too. Heh.

Even worse. KRAFT DINNER. OMGITWASSOGOOD.

Hee, I checked after you mentioned this and... I'm getting about 8 random channels completely clearly. Like Global makes sense, but Channel 58/TVTropolis? Good lord, that's the channel that WIPEOUT is on. That's not good, my friend. Not good.

I hate not having the internet so I hope that yours never goes away again. It's a lifeline.

I know! I was inches away from getting the shakes, yo. ;)

Internet

Yeah, my cable and internet are both supplied by Comcast. That's a little scary.

A friend of mine who can well afford cable got hers disconnected. She found she preferred watching her shows on DVD after the season was complete. Movies, of course, she's been watching on DVD since forever. FanSee

I really only watch one show -- Stargate: Universe -- but TV is such a huge TIME SUCKER in other ways. Like I get up to get ready for work and toss the TV on while I'm eating and suddenly two hours have gone by while I watched 4 "Friends" reruns. Just silliness. I'm hoping I'll be more productive without it!

It is always the way.

Heh, like I said... NOT a surprise. :D
