Trash TV

Written by my friend Judson Kelly

I went to http://www.tvbydirect.com/when I moved in here because one thing I was Not going to be without was Cable! I’ve gotten so used to having all the premium channels and I didn’t want to miss an episode of Spartacus or Game of Thrones, my new favorite. Spartacus is kind of hard to watch now because they had to change the main character – the first guy who played him died in between seasons one and two which is just crazy. I like Game of Thrones because it reminds me of Lord of the Ringsand that was one of my favorite movies so it’s no wonder. I think I’m going to spend some time painting and decorating soon but for now I love watching the shows I missed while I was living in a rental house. Thank goodness for having On Demand so I can watch back episodes when I need to! I love my new place but I love my favorite shows more – is that weird!?
