    Recently I've been ill and staying with family, and there's nothing much to do but watch TV (I don't have a TV where I live). What a mind-numbingly vapid experience. It's such a waste of time and life. It's mental junk-mail. And incredible how many prescription medicine commercials there are now... must be like every other commercial.

    • Any cable package worth anything comes with a multi tuner DVR so you can record. End result is the new stuff on demand basically.monospaced
