so apparently I had cable...

A young woman from Time Warner came by last night to explain that I still had active cable coming into my unit and she was there to shut it off. She offered to leave it on free for a month and bill me if I didn't cancel. I said no, because I needed to get work done... She told me twice I had good teeth. Her accent sounded like she was from Africa or the Caribbean. Just funny to think I could have been watching Daily Show, Colbert and random Univison programs for almost two years. Never occurred to me to try it and it's probably better that I didn't.

I remember one time when I was out with Keith and it blew his mind that I didn't have cable. I guess if I were a sports fan things would be very different. I watch some TV via Netflix and I like how the nature of it limits how much I can watch to maybe 6 hours a week max, with it sometimes taking a few days to get around to a DVD. I guess the average person in this country watches about 20 hours a week. I suspect that my Netflix plus World of Warcraft generally comes to well under ten. Perhaps one should add pointless internet browsing to that category.
