Cable Summit: It was fun while it lasted...
The Cable summit Seems to have been a success!
Despite a little disappointment on my part due to the complete lack of creativity on the part of those trying to convince us to keep the cable, we have amicable decided that we will be cable free. As of December second of 2004, don't come to our house to watch bad American television - that is, of course, unless you're willing to watch bad free American broadcasts; then come on over.
Another issue brought up in the summit was the fact that dishes being left out all night was no longer kosher. I for one was very surprised when the entire house agreed readily to do their dishes before the rot sets in, not really internalizing that the summit was the exact same day that two women were due to arrive for the weekend. Silly me. Both women left left yesterday, and this morning the nasty George Forman grille and Encrusted Egg-to-frying pan content in the kitchen was disconcerting. They didn't even last one day without their girlfriends.
Sigh - it was fun while it lasted...
That being said, there are ten days left of cable in our house. It will be interesting to see who loses it first, but I'm a little worried about Chris: the way he watches Start Treck: Enterprise since the summit with the same gaze as a soldier scheduled to leave for combat can't be healthy. The separation is going to be heart-wrenching.
For this very reason I propose a Goodbye Cable! Party on the second. It's a Thursday (party-night anyway...), so I don't think I'll have much convincing to do. Maybe we can all dress-up as our favourite cable t.v. characters.
Or maybe not...
