still haven't paid the cable bill...

I hate cable. I hate the fact that I had to pay for cable at the sublet that I was in these past few months. I don't like watching le Tele in the first place, but cable is just terrible. It's programming for the ADD remote flipping enthusiast, as no television show on cable is designed to keep you watching. My past roommate (thank god I can reference her in the past tense) had the channel on HGTV all the time. HGTV is the bastard red-headed buck toothed second cousin of the weather channel; because at least the weather channel can be useful. I'm all for home improvement, but an entire channel devoted to it just seems extraneous. What's the point of watching the HGTV if you don't have the drive to actually renovate and learn something from the boring non entertaining paint drying channel. If I were a T-shirt designer, I would make a shirt that read "HGTV: Literally as much fun as watching paint dry!" on the front and: "Tell your boring friends about us!" on the back.
If you're reading this and thinking to yourself, "I have no idea what she's talking about, I LOVE the HGTV network!" Oh really? You do? Just tell me one good thing that came out of you watching anything on that show? JUST ONE! I challenge you!
Meanwhile, I've been paying 22 bucks a month for this shit, which is the most basic basic you can get. Meaning that anything that looks like an interesting show in the guide menu is actually a broadcast of "not a subscriber to this channel, upgrade now!" 24 hours a day. I can't tell you how many "not a subscriber" channels we got in our service, and let me tell you, those channels run a very close second to the HGTV channel for most boring channel on cable.

This blog has affirmed in my head that no, I shouldn't pay the bill, even if it is a tax write off.
