NO MORE TV

I am a little slow about finding things out these days especially when it comes to the news. Mark and I haven't had cable for a while and I feel a bit out of it. I found out this morning all of the writers have gone on strike. I must admit that even though I have not been able to see much of what the season has to offer, I was looking forward to some good television. I understand that the writers need more money but I am upset by all this business. How am I supposed to survive without new episodes of House, The Office, Lost, Heroes, etc. I know there will be some episodes but when I go to buy the seasons on DVD next year, two discs will probably cover the entire season. SAD, DREADFUL news.




What I find most amusing about it all is just how devastated I am. Really, whatever will I do without my evening television. I mean I look forward to it all week. The nights The Office comes on I hurry and put the kids to bed at least half an hour before the show starts so they will be asleep by the time it comes on. If they aren't asleep or I have neglected putting them down when I should, they end up watching the show with me. I can honestly say that there are times when my life is ruled by that crazy tv. This writers strike could be the best thing that happened to me. Heaven forbid I should have to spend more time with my kids and have real conversations with my husband. I could even find some time for a walk after dinner. WHAT? That is outrageous.
