Life Without TV

So, I have a tv in my apartment, but I don't have cable. Before I moved upstairs to my current apartment, I lived in a smaller place where I could just connect the cable cord and have basic cable. It was great; itwas free!

When I moved upstairs, I didn't have the same luck. No idea why. This is where technology is confusing to me. I don't know if it's because I am lazy, cheap or just content, but I have yet to call Comcast to get it hooked up.

Luckily, you can watch just about anything online these days. Or you can Netflix it! So that's what I do. Yes, I have been asked what I do in my apartment without a tv, but it's actually not that bad!

My favorite shows these days:

Gossip Girl. My guilty pleasure. I think I like it so much because it is SO far fetched from the life I lead in high school. And of course there is Nate, ahhhh.

Glee. Of course! I actually had to Netflix this one because of all the good things I had heard after the show had already aired. I know have both soundtracks and CAN'T wait for it to start again!

Grey's Anatomy. It's been a staple since college. Heather has to make sure I am all caught up so we can discuss it. I heard Izzy is leaving the show. Just as well- her drama is starting to annoy me. And she was really bad in The Ugly Truth.

Brothers & Sisters. I think this show is great! I love the big family and all the drama. Reminds me why I love having a big family. I hear Rob Lowe is leaving though, and that makes me sad. I really like him!! And Justin is great eye candy :)

Weeds. I recently Netflixed all 5 seasons of Weeds and absolutely loved it. I think Nancy Botwin is one crazy lady, yet always somehow pulls it together and I am constantly impressed with her. I also am 99% sure I saw Silas Botwin working out at the Athletic Club where I work last week. Yes, my desk overlooks the weightroom.

Damages. I got hooked on Damages when I was living at home with my parents. It's weird not watching it with them anymore. I really have not met many people, actually I can't think of any, who watch this show. SO underrated. Glenn Close is amazing. Every episode leaves me wanting more, as cliche as that is. The twists and turns are pretty freaking creative.

And then there is always the indulgent MTV series of RR/RW Challenge, The Hills, The City, The Real World that always sucks me in.

In conclusion, it's really easy to keep up with tv, even without a tv :)
