meant

my cable is being disconnected today :(

when i called to cancel the service, the lady was skeptical. i told her that my husband doesn't want a tv. she said "at all?", "yes" i told her. she went on to say that i've had it all this time and yada yada yada. so i had to explain to her that i'd only just got married and he'd only just moved in. "oh" she said. brendan is rather proud of the fact that he's the reason for our service termination. when i was growing up cable was my only luxury item. we were fairly poor, but my parents splurged on cable because it allowed us to receive the christian radio station (i'm not sure how, but i gather it was not a free station or something). we had a black and white tv, it was years before i discoverd that penny (on inspector gadget) had blond hair.

i've only just discovered that sherlock holmes' first name is sherlock. hahahaha. i always thought that sherlock was a title like 'doctor' watson.

every year around this time my garden starts to whilt. this morning as i ate a banana out on the balcony i noticed the dead plants were isolated to the pots that have no drainage. i put pebbles in the pots, but that doesn't seem to be doing the trick. so next year i'll have to invest in 4 new plant pots. truth be told, most of my pots are crock pots that i bought at value village :S i was trying to be stingy. i have a year to keep my eye out for some more practical plant holders, so i should be able to find something suitable.

the soul travels on foot.

Carolyn and I never watch TV. Now that the library allows you to borrow up to ten movies for seven days, why pay for TV?

we don't have a tv. we do watch lots of dvds and youtube videos though. the big thing I noticed was how intolerant I've become of advertising now. Like: why are people screaming at me to buy stuff all the time? yikes!
