I'm going to have an affair with my TV. First of all, Carrie gave me one of her old TVs because her hubby got a new one for Christmas. I am totally willing to be the depository of things like that (Note to self: when something is breaking/broken, complain about it on MyFace).
Second of all, we were FORCED to upgrade our cable package. Okay, not forced, but they offered us a package that's like 8 or 9 bucks a person more expensive per person per month. We decided it was worth it. At least until the "special package" price is over. At which point they will try to charge us through the nose/upgrade us to the next level. At which point I will have to break up with TV because we will be forced to downgrade back to basic loser cable, since the higher price/better package thing will not be working so much after this price range. So it's an affair with an expiration date.
We are all digitalized now, and I have rediscovered the joy that is having two channels of Law and Order to choose from at most times of day. This, my friends, is the definition of bliss. Also two channels of Criminal Minds, my new procedural show I've been sucked into. ALSO: I can watch Leverage, the new love of my life, LIVE. For reals. I am telling you, WORLDS have opened up to me. It's like I have a whole new set of friends. And no need to ever leave my room again. Except work. And food. I still like food. But did I mention we have the food channel also? All I need is a replicator and I would be in heaven. Yes I just made a Star Trek reference. And you understood it. So you cannot mock.
I suppose there is the sticky subject of that whole goal to go to the gym, which is attached to my two incentives:
1. the mp3 player I bought myself with the understanding I would go to the gym
2. the heart rate monitor SusieQ bought me for Christmas.
Pretty much I am inviting eternal mockage if I don't use them. Stupid goals. I need to remember to stop setting those. They get in the way of my affair.

Now that you have so many more options may I introduce you to my new favorite TV Hottie Neal Caffrey? He's on White Collar.

You totally missed the series marathon (all 7 episodes of it) but it's a fairly straight forward show. Jump in! It's fantastic! Episode 8 just aired and is available online or during one of the many many repeats on USA.
And have you started to watch Burn Notice yet? It's back too. I will be majorly sad if I ever have to break up with the USA Network.
Gotta love the deals that suck us in. We're currently trapped in one of those, but I sure love the HD and on demand stuff. Fefe can now watch Dora at all times of day. Doesn't get much better than that.
I totally didn't get the _Star Trek_ reference.
Dizzle. We are all collectively sad for you now.
I'm (proudly) with Dizzle on that one.
And good luck breaking up with your TV once the introductory offer is over. They've got you right where they want you. I should know. They've got me too.
I could watch TLC ALL DAY LONG. It's been known to happen.
No living long OR prospering for you, carrieann
