Your TV Habits

Every morning I zap the TV on to canal 4 (that's Spanish for channel 4) to watch Chronica. It's the Buenos Aires news channel that knows no bounds: if there are dead bodies and body partz flung about from a fresh auto accident they show closeups of the dead and their partz -- lingering on the pools of blood -- before someone covers them with a coat or schmata. If someone has just been hit by a bus and is dying in the street, Chronica has no problem pushing a microphone in the dying person's face and asking "Es obvio vas a morir en las próximas minutos, entonces, queres decir algo para ellos que vean?" (It's obvious you're going to die in the next few minutes. Do you have anything to say to the people watching?) Hah! You think I make this up? Hah, again! There are certainly several porteños who belong to LPSG who will back me up (then run me over).

After sufficient amounts of disturbingly bad coffee (Cabrales) I unzap the TV to read.

Then Friday nights at 21:30 I zap the TV to watch Little Britain on I-SAT.

By the way: Dear njqt466 Paul Henreid? What a coincidence. Paul and I were talking about you just the other day and we both agreed that you are FAB-U-LOUS!

It sounds like a good premise, and I watched it when it first came on, but after the first year I got sick of it. I've only occasionally watched it since then and it's all screwed up. And the fat guy should be thinner by now. Gilligan's Island was much better...>>>


That's because you're not listening: as of the third season, the cast has been in TV time and only about two months or so has passed.

Gilligan's Island???? Spare me the details, please.

It seems all screwed up because the parts are of a greater whole. You'd not expect coherence it you read alternating shapters in a novel, would you?

Here are the needlepoint pics nj. I can't find the one of the running horse I did.

We have plenty of educational videos, including Sesame Street, on DVD. We just don't have any broadcast TV.

This household lacks broadcast TV. I figure that not having cable has made the DVD sets affordable. After all, you pay X amount of $$ for X+ y channels and can only watch five or so of them. Thoughout the day.

I'd like to be able to subscribe to about 6 channels; that all I want. Not 300 or so. I couldn't take it in. So why bother. I don't watch sports, and think all althetics in tainted by lawyers and egotistical players, don't care for the "war" channels, wouldn't watch golf unless I was paid, can't stand the shopping channels and so on.

I'd like the SF channels, one of the anime channels, BBC, a couple of non commercial movie channels...

Enough is tooo much.
