We did it. We bought thunder gear...on the day of their last game in the playoffs. It felt nice for this city to be united behind something bigger than a bombing or tornado. It's nice to have positive things to bring us together too. So, the Thunder didn't beat the Lakers, but they sure gave them a run for their money. Take that Lakers.
Of course, we decided to get on the bandwagon a little late. We had to go to a friends house to watch the game because we're too cheap to have ESPN on our cable. Yes, there is less cable than the basic package. You have to ask for it special.
So when will cable companies begin the ala carte channel game? Would it work? Honestly with the DH in school and the boy attached to me as soon as I get home, there is little time to watch television. Although, I've never been a big fan of sitting there in front of the boob tube anyway. I used to think I was missing out on popular culture references because I couldn't participate in the water cooler conversations about Lost or whatever. I just can't sit still that long or commit to a series like that. Sometimes I just like to be around real people. Not trying to dis the folks that can watch the series and show up for every episode. I just can't do it, and for that I thank my parents. I don't know what they did, but I have a hard time being a couch potato.
So ala carte cable. My channels would include: ESPN, major networks, Food Channel, Bravo, Turner Movie Classics and that's about it....what am I missing? Maybe MTV so I can see what kids today are up to? I would like HBO and a DVR....yes, technology is a slippery slope.
