Why we should never get cable

I'm sorry about not posting lately, but there was A Very Important Reason. Last year, I missed every episode of House because it conflicted with Guides. (Shock! Horror!)

When last year's season became available on dvd, my lovely and wonderful neighbour bought it for me for Christmas. Last week. (Yay, thank you, PANIC!) I had a week to watch them all before the season premiere of House last night, and if you think that was easy, well... it was quite the task, trying to schedule all 20-odd hour-long episodes in.

As a result, Nothing Else Got Done. So please don't look at my kitchen or my laundry room (if you could actually get into it to see it.) Please don't look at my children too closely either. Dirt actually forms a protective layer once it gets thick enough, did you know? Kind of a cushion, like bumper pads. Really.

I'm feeling relief now, that the stress of having to watch tv is over. I knew there was a reason we don't have cable. What would happen if I developed a liking for another show? Complete anarchy. (Shudder.)
