Shivering on the 49th Parallel

I've said it a few times lately... I really don't miss TV all that much.

Last week I had a rare couple minutes of mindless surfing, so I went to www.suprnova.org to see what was new. Someone had posted Season 1 Episode 6 of “Joey”. While I probably might have tuned in once or twice to see what the show was like, I really didn't care too much about it. What numbed me for a moment was that it was up to Episode 6 already. The LAST thing I heard about it was “Starting in September!”

I've “lost” six weeks of my life! Not lost in a bad sense, like losing a priceless heirloom, by lost in that I didnt realize that so much time had elapsed. On one hand, it seems like a short period since the “before Ivan” period, and on the other, it seems like another lifetime. I don't really remember what the island looked like anymore, how my car smelled (other than like ass a day after it rained) or what the landscape looked like. And that's not including the underwater landscape/scenery.

After all is said and done and power, water, telephone and cable are restored to our apartment, A/C is fixed and life returns “to normal” I'm not even going to remember what I used to like watching on TV!

Food Network and Comedy Central, which I waited (literally) years to get down here, are probably not part of the limited broadcasting that WestStar is providing (free for October and November). Those channels were good to put on when there was nothing else on, and provided interesting and funny “background” noise while puttering around in the house and/or on my computers. Discovery Channel is usually pretty good and nothing beats History Channel on a Sunday afternoon. Other than The Sopranos which isnt back for it's (final) season until 2005, I don't really have any other “must see TV”

But that'll all change when I get XMLTV sorted out and start running Windows Media Center 2005 or Freevo :-)
