Downside of no cable

Living without cable has made me pretty happy with life, as mentioned here.

But I have come to realize at least one downfall of relying on Kelly's XBox for television entertainment:

I have to rely on an XBox for entertainment. So Kelly wants to play video games? I have to read or clean or do some other kind of crap that isn't watching television. I guess I could watch stuff on my laptop, but 99 percent of the time, I will watch on my laptop in the bed and end up falling asleep not long after the opening credits roll.

Yesterday, Kelly went to go to a friend's house to play video games. I was a little excited about this, because it meant I could continue my Mad Men marathon watching and finish wrapping my Christmas gifts in peace and no snoopy eyes. However, the downfall is that for some non-incriminating reason *cough, cough* we can only stream Netflix (where Mad Men lives!) on the XBox, not the Playstation 3. (There's only so many devices you can have logged into Netflix on one account)

But we do have the HuluPlus, so I can watch that on the PS3. 

Conversation last night:

Kelly: "I am going to take my hard drive for the Xbox. So it will still be here, but you can't watch Netflix."
Me: "WHAT."
Kelly: "Yeah, sorry you will have to watch another show on Hulu."
Me: "I don't WANT to watch another show. I want to watch Don Draper have sex with random women and drinking all day long."

Alas, he won out, and I spent the night watching the latest Desperate Housewives. Which the cliffhanger on the last episode (WILL BRE KILL HERSELF??!!) actually made me mildly interested in the show again.

The last line of your post was enough to get me to catch up with the last 2ish seasons! I stopped watching shortly after Vivica Fox joined the cast after taking a break for a few years. Just before I got my current job a little over 2 years ago I took 2 months off from working while going to school and binged and binged on all the crappy shows I once loved. I think I blew threw 4 seasons of Desperate housewives in about a week and a half.

I hear you about the tv situation. I get too easily distracted to watch things on the computer or laptop - and that "watch the next episode" button is all to appealing.

We're almost done with our favorite shows right now - Walking Dead, American Horror Story, Dexter - so I think our next task will be catching up on the past few seasons of Mad Men. I'm so excited! Every girl could use time watching "Don Draper have sex with random women and drinking all day long" time.

*Longest comment ever. :) Also: dying to know which Miller won through to the next round in Fantasy unless you two have guys in tonight's game.
