Not only do we have cable, we have a DVR (Digital Video Recorder)!!!!!!!!

I know c’est tres pathetique mais, of the things that I miss about my old LA life– one of the things right up there on the list is cable and my dvr (other items? friends, my car, my cats, NPR on Saturday and Sunday mornings, hopping on the subway to Hollywood and Vine and walking over to the Arclight to see a movie- WITH NO COMMERCIALS AND LOTS OF PREVIEWS LIKE GOD INTENDED, cheap Thai massages and Bass beer. I know Bass is an English beer but I haven’t yet found the stuff in London. The yobs here like their Stella.) but now– now we have cable!!!! MMMWWWAAAAHHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH -that’s my evil laugh. . .

Because of the fight between Virgin and Sky, we don’t have Sky movies at the mo, but I’m sure it will be resolved at some point.

Until then, we have CNN, we have Bravo, we have the Discovery channel.

So what do I do when I dig around at the buffet of TV viewing that I have now available to me? I put on Grand Designs.

Grand Designs is this fantastic show where you see people in the process of building their dream home from start to finish with all the drama and tears and then in the end you get the big reveal of how pretty it is and all the drama and the tears and the thousands of pounds seem somehow worth it and you covet their house- except for a recent houseboat episode. That was a disaster. (Can you tell I watch this show a lot? A 2nd fav of mine is Location, Location.)

After a few moments Stuart says, “Didn’t we have this before?” (Before with our freeview box).

“Yes. . .”

“Thomas, we have all these channels. Put it on something else!”

I threw my toys out of the pram, “But I LOVE this show!”

I’m about to watch The Daily Show with my boyfriend Jon Stewart. Even better than watching The Daily Show with my boyfriend Jon Stewart, I have set the DVR to record every Daily Show with my boyfriend Jon Stewart. . .

I is sooo happy!
