Can’t blog. Too busy channel surfing.
Aug 16, 2008 A day in our life
Yesterday Lee called DirecTV to sign up for what he considers the deal of a lifetime. With the purchase of the NFL Sunday Ticket we get four months of their premium package for free. For four month we will not only have every single football game being played anywhere in the U.S., but we also have every single channel known to man. It’s something like 4,967 channels.
Ok, so that might be a small exaggeration, but it is a heck of a lot of channels.
Now we have every. single. movie channel. Every single one. All of the HBOs. All of the Showtimes. All of Cinemaxes. Plus about 40 Encore channels. And Flix. And a bunch of other channels I didn’t even know existed. The last time I had most of these channels was when I lived with my mom. A really long time ago. And I think they’ve even added a few new channels since then.
Last night we were skimming through all four billion channels when BAM. No not Emeril. Skinemax. Before last night Skinemax was like an urban myth for me. I had heard about it, but wasn’t sure it was true. But then Lee flipped the channel and there were two girls, um…muff diving. And I hate to be such a prude, but my jaw dropped to the floor. And then ran away to hide. Who needs to make a trip all the way to the video store when you can just flip on Cinemax Skinemax? I think we’ll be blocking that channel from now on.
Then we moved on to Showtime to watch Big Brother After Dark. That was much more tame. A little more my speed. However, it was a little too tame. In fact after about five minutes we had to turn the channel because I was ready to stick a fork in my eye rather than watching the house guests continue to eat in complete silence any longer.
Eventually I was overwhelmed by the trillion channel choices and decided to head for bed. It was exhausting having to flip through a gazillion channels and my finger was was starting to hurt from all the button pressing. The answer the question, “Can there be too many channels?” is apparently, “yes, there can.”
