Eating pineapple with Trader Joe's Jalapeno Cranberry sauce and 6 gf chicken nuggets after church, watching Peter Lorre in "Thank you Mr Moto" on M!ovies.
The decision to drop cable was not only a monetary decision but a sane decision as well. While cable offers a variety of niche programming we as a family have come to notice the variety becoming less so; a sense of "sameness". Sure my cable company was offering free HBO until March but watching only emphasized this fact - 10 channels with repeated movies and programming. Add this to the fact that 3 stations were playing Rosanne or Cosby at any given time and USA, TNT and Lifetime were running the same programming day in/day out which led to me saying "How many times can one watch Charmed?"
I realize the honeymoon isn't over yet and I may still be experiencing the newness of broadcast tv but the effect on Bumper is worth it. He is no longer plopped in front of the tv unless it's to play a game and he has become more interested in working with software to create or expand them. Though he and I have never really lacked communication he is talking to me more about school and less Bakelady is finding different stations and movies to enjoy and you already know how I feel.
