cable ready

New, and nearly always Absent Roommate comes with many perks (absence NOT being one of them). For starters, is v. mellow, v. quiet, v. clean boy. AR also cooks and came cable ready.

Past living situation came with three channels. Was not a problem, as yours truly can find much better things to do (and really, three channels has all the bad reality tv one could need). But lo, what a world has been opened to this gal! Queer Eye for a Straight Guy?! The Love Channel?? The Home and Garden Network? Even 7th Heaven is tolerable when it's coming to the house on that beautiful cable. Well, screw 7th Heaven. Yours truly has been watching until my eyes bug out and have STILL not gotten my fill of decorating shows. Perhaps never will.

Friends may start to wonder when repeated attempts at contact are ignored. It's nothing personal. It's just that if am going to learn everything about turning an old bedroom into the perfect art studio, must give full attention to the TV. It's all v. complicated. I mean, who knew plaster walls could be such a problem?

Cable. The next best thing to actually having a life.

We get eight channels:
1. FOX
2. ABC
3. NBC
4. CBS
5. UPN
6. PBS
7. Fuzzy Snow Channel No. 1
8. Fuzzy Snow Channel No. 2

No. 8 had a great documentary on shouting polar bears. Their call sounds just like static.

BBC America rules my world, unfortunately.
