Our television died last night. I'm guessing that it got tired of showing political coverage and committed seppuku. I can't say that I blame it.

Normally my husband and I would be happy since this would give us an excuse to buy a flat screen. But since it's quite likely that Tom's going to get laid off next month (again...gah), dropping a bunch of money on a brand new toy would probably be unwise. So we've decided to wait a few weeks and see if we like living without television.

This should be an entertaining experiment, since I haven't lived without a television since college.

Oh Noes!

But thank the gods of YouTube, and NBC finally getting its head out of its ass and actually posting the SNL comedy gold. And you can pause YouTube so if you're playing the drinking games you can sober up a little before you go on.

Oh yes, YouTube ftw (and bittorrent too - yay for nerds!). When I realized I could probably live without cable was when I found out that I could find a bunch of Alton Brown's Good Eats clips on there. And since I think many of the networks now put their episodes on their websites, I'll be able to watch the few other shows that I like.

I'm just hoping that I can find episodes of project runway. That seems to be the hardest at the moment.

Okay never mind. Five seconds later, I found project runway rofl.

I love the internets!

Ooo...I saw on a commercial that they're having a multi-season walk-off!

A walk-off! A freakin' walk-off!
