So this week I finally did what I probably should've done a month or two ago: I cancelled my cable tv. While it was mainly a financial decision, it also came down to the fact that I just didn't need it anymore. I have a lot of other things I could be doing (including watching the many, many DVDs that I own), and my work schedule means that whenever I was actually watching TV it was usually just for background noise anyway. It's still a little weird not having it there, but I have to say, I haven't really missed it so far.

Finally got my day with [livejournal.com profile] andrealyn today (rescheduled after the heat debacle of last weekend) in which we watched the second half of Band of Brothers and ate good food, which is always lovely. I have, however, now had a headache for over five hours. I thought it was caffeine withdrawal at first; now I don't know what to think. Maybe there's just something in the air, because I've been coughing and sneezing an awful lot today too.

So the heat finally has been fixed, hopefully for good this time. It's perfectly pleasantly warm in here, though I still find I want to put the space heater on sometimes (like right now sometimes) because I like to be really warm and cozy. Especially when I'm settling in to get a good couple of hours of writing in, which hopefully is what I'm doing right now. I have to get up for a doctor's appointment tomorrow, but that still leaves me a good chunk of time tonight to get things done.

I canceled cable about a year ago, and we haven't missed it one bit. :)

I think I might end up missing, like, shows on ancient history and stuff, but that's about it. And I can always read a book.
