lions. and tigers. and satellite tv.

we got directTV and i am scared.  it is frightening. how do you decide what to watch when there are 500 options? if it were left up to me i would just waste away watching HGTV. that is what i did for the brief time that we had cable before. we got rid of it to save money, read more book and spend more time together. due to our internet situation not allowing for streaming downloads and free tv not coming in very reliably (and the impending winter) we decided to get directTV.

i am worried. what if i never read or paint again? i don’t want to watch jersey shore, but can i say no if it is right there starring me in the face? there are so many shows i have heard about. psychic children? the new crime channel? how will i see them all?! i can hear my butt getting bigger.

and dvr just puts me over the edge. in case i can’t find something on one of 500 channels, i can record things that i know i will want to waste away watching. no longer can i not keep up with a season of something because i forget what night it is on.

this now means that boredom will not fuel my hobbies, but i will actually have to want to do them and seek them out. ugh.

i better get on house cleaning/unpacking before the tv wins.
