While others are celebrating Austin Ice Storm 2007 — celebrating because they’re getting days off from work — the Coté house-hold is suffering greatly.
We have ample provisions, so Kim and I haven’t had to resort to eating the pets and, ultimately, ourselves. The heat works fine. The toilets flush.
No, my friends, we’ve run out of movies to watch.
You see, dear readers, we have no cable. No entertainment!
Now, we’re forced to watch American Idol and all those damn cop shows.
The mail seems to have halted as two NetFlix DVDs lay freezing on the porch to get out. One more may be on the way.
We can only hope that those victuals of entertainment arrive before bungalow fevers hits us whole-hog.
I was lucky enough to get a Tuesday delivery of a movie from Netflix. Unfortunately I had to walk to the mailbox (streets were too frozen) and pry open a very solidly frozen mailbox with my keys. Luckily I’ve got a slew of Nazi documentaries stored up on the Tivo now that the movies have run out. Without them I don’t know that I could have survived the Austin Ice-tastrophe of ’07…
No TV! How’s that working out? I’m considering ditching all but the basic cable in lieu of an Apple TV (or Mac Mini.. haven’t quite decided yet)
We have a TV, but just broadcast channels. It actually works out just fine.
Lucky you, Robert with the TiVo!
What up with Netflix this week? I still haven’t gotten my latest DVD’s even though the ice melted.
