Cable Is Able
Move over the DVD player, I’ve found something better. We’ve finally got cable installed in our neighborhood and we’ve got a free trial for all the channels for a full month.
It is fully sick, mate.
All of a sudden, the idiot box has been transformed into a tube of non-stop roller coaster fun full with movies I haven’t seen, movies I’ve been wanting to see and movies I never thought existed. There are the hip home decoration shows, fashion fixes and makeovers at Style, non-censored documentaries of women getting breast reductions and giving births on the Discovery Home & Health, and not to mention the dirty nitty-gritty details of the celebrities on E! Getting caught on the most embarrassing situations, like showing their cellulite-induced thighs through their super mini skirts. Or something.
Anyway, what’s best is that all of them come with no ads. Beautiful.
I’m totally hooked and I practically have to unglue myself off the remote control to prevent myself from becoming a fat arse couch potato because the whole flicking-the-channel thing is so relaxing, it’s like exercise for my fingers.
HBO is like the savior for my fucked up sleeping pattern because on those nights when I can’t seem to fall asleep, I can always tune in to it and let myself be passively manipulated by Hollywood / American-dreamlike alternate realities or when there are no good movies on, I can always rely on the utterly gross but fascinating documentaries on the Discovery Channels.
Or getting shocked by people as glamorous as Sarah Jessica Parker turning up at the Oscars wearing a puff balled cotton-candy-ish outfit on E!’s 101 Most Sensational Crimes of Fashion.
Or pretend to be intelligent and important by flicking through CNN and CNBC, without knowing what the heck is actually going on, to be perfectly honest.
The Digital Era.
I’m lovin’ it.
