Goodbye Cable, Hello DVD!

Last night was one of those nights where I just wanted to plop myself in front of the Haunted Fishtank (a wonderful phase for "TV" coined by a MDC mama) and zone out.

I saw at least one interesting show, something about the search-and-rescue team of Yosemite park. Pretty cool. But I soon lost interest and checked around for what other shows were on, and eventually gave up and turned off the TV.

While thinking about the fact that I want to watch TV yet I really don't, I came to realize that it is those damned commercials that really turn me off from watching anything that doesn't come from the DVD. Those dumb, flashy, seizure-inducing advertisements urging us to live a most un-holistic, un-eco consumeristic lifestyle. And this is how I feel despite the fact that I can't even hear what is said on the commercial unless it happens to be closed-captioned. Eek.

So my love for Netflix grows by leaps and bounds.

Hurry up and send me my next disc of "The L Word"!

(P.S. We have no plans to get rid of cable at the moment. Yet.)
