Of course I cheat by watching it over at ‘s place. Because for me watching cable isn’t as big a time waster as not watching cable. When I have the set to myself and the DVR is cleared I’ll compulsively surf because I feel that with hundreds of channels that there has to be something worth watching.
Even now I’ll waste ten minutes cycling through the five channels we get on PV (PeasantVision). Fortunately that’s a small enough set. Flipping through all the possibilities on cable, past all the worthless pay-per-view and home-shopping and ESPNs then I have to start all over because it’s been 30 minutes and maybe “Bald Guy Eats Yeti Testicles” is over and something worthwhile has taken it’s place.
Another 30 minutes of flipping: Repeat.
