I have the shakes, people!!

So, I admit it.
I adore tv.
I {heart} tv.

I use tv as a way to have noise on in my apartment when I read.
I use tv as a way to calm me when I think the boogey man is underneath my bed or in my closet.
I use tv as a way to mock the idiots out there who think they are hot shit and go on tv shows.

TV and I are good friends.

The free cable went out the Thursday evening before I left for NY. I didn't panic as this has happened from time to time but the cable always pops back on in a few hours or the next day.

I left for NY with the knowledge that once I returned cable would up and running and I would be back to watching Real World, Big Love, and Grey's Anatomy to my heart's content.

I came back and the cable was still dead.

I sorta panicked.

Big time.

But I still had my trusty dvd player. So I can watch all my favorite movies and shows until I decide if I should sell my soul pay for digital cable.

Friday night: TheChattyCathy came over and watched a movie on my dvd. While we were watching the movie, he JUST had to adjust my tv as he couldn't see it all that well. Next thing I knew my tv screen went blank.

And my pants became dirty.

Wires were tighten.
Plugs were repluged.
Manuals were searched for high and low.

To no avail.
My dvd player AND my cable are DEAD!!!

oh GOD, the shakes are coming back!
Help meeeeeee!
