Well, not really, since I don’t watch MTV, but I do watch CBS, and our access to it has been yanked because of some dispute between EchoStar (owners of dish network, which we subscribe to) and Viacom, mega media company that owns CBS, MTV, Nickelodeon, Comedy Channel, and countless other stations, no doubt. Ideologically, I suppose I am against TV, and for many years we only had access to one channel because we didn’t want to pay for cable or satellite. Now, though, I watch a crapload of TV. Knitting in silence just doesn’t do it for me. I wish I could say I only watch PBS or the History Channel or something, but no, I actually watch a lot of trash TV (though I can’t stand reality shows or any of those fake news shows like Dateline). So here is my dilemma–do I just embrace the TV and get digital cable and a digital television recorder and pay a small fortune each month, or do I cheap out and get basic cable? Or should I give satellite another chance? Or should I smash the TV and read books (no, wait, I can’t read and knit at the same time, so that’s out).
\nOkay, time to go knit and NOT watch CBS. I’m hoping to finish the 2nd (well, fourth, actually, if you consider the two sleeves I already knit that I’m not going to use) sleeve of peppermint candy this evening. Knitting these sleeves in the round is hurting my hands. Does that happen to anyone else?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
