Well, well, well, I come home and discover that somebody's been messing with my cable and everything's dawg-gone changed. I have a whole bunch of new channels. It used to be that most of the channels between 2-565 (the highest channel I had before) I couldn't get, but now I can. It's like a dream come true
Here's all the goodies I have now:
I gots me some more of HBO and Cinemax (more porn!), Cartoon Network (PowderPuff Girls), Game Show Channel (Match Game- you know you loved it), all the various MTV's and VH-1's (actual music videos, many of them not involving artists that suck), the E! Channel (just in time for last week's "This is So Wrong" contest on the Howard Stern Show),Fox News (yay?) and most importantly, TechTV (woo-hoo! 24 hours of news about technology! On a side note, my pod-mate at the Web thingy I did works there and is occasionally seen in the background. Somehow, just from appearing on the screen in the background, she's attracted a fan-base and has a couple of sites dedicated to her. And yes, it's all very weird and there are some people who really do need to get a life. I mean, does anyone actually want to watch a whole station about new technology? Way cool girl, though).
The only problem is that they moved all the stations around so I've completely lost track of which channel are where. When the stations change like this, it's like having to learn to read again, it's all brand new. CNN used to be on 50, now it's on 56. ESPN II used to be on 410, but now it's on 39. And now I have all these new stations to memorize. And how am I ever going to learn where all the new stations are? MTV Jams is like in the 300's, but MTV2 is in the 130's. Comedy Central now goes all day but is on channel 63. And I can't even begin to remember where E! is. I feel like I have to spend the next couple of nights studying and boning up on my channels. And I know Turner Classic Movies is a great station, but how the hell am I gonna know when something's good on?
Man, life just keeps on getting more and more complicated by the day.
