Themes

I’m pretty sure I’ve written this exact post before but why oh why can’t I just find a free wordpress.com theme that I actually like? I’ve never had one that was good enough for me, which is why every so often I go nuts and change them over and over again.

Why can’t I ever be satisfied?

Another Star Wars Trailer!

There’s another Star Wars The Force Awakens Trailer!  This one was made for the international markets (Asia?) and it has a bunch of new footage!  If they keep this up there won’t be any new movie to see.

My beloved wife and I have both taken the release day off.  I haven’t bought tickets yet, but I will soon enough.  I don’t care if we have to go to a 9:00am showing.

Six weeks from today!  I can’t wait!  I want it to come out now!

The Talk

Last night we had The Talk.  It wasn’t easy.  It was kinda scary.  It was time though.  It needed to happen.

We talked about whether or not it would be more cost effective to get rid of cable television than to keep it.  We already use Netflix extensively, and we (too) often take advantage of iTunes for various TV shows season passes.  HBO has a subscription service now, and Hulu looks like it would do a decent job giving us new, first run series’.  The main point against giving up cable is sports.  The NHL and MLB both offer video subscription services, but are local broadcasts blacked out?  If they are they are more or less useless.  Would I be okay with going 100% radio for my Bruins and Red Sox needs?  I have to admit that I don’t watch nearly as many games as I used to, but at the same time while this conversation was taking place last night the Bruins game was on the tube.  Ummm…

We have a contract with FiOS right now and it doesn’t end for another six months.  When that time comes, will we finally ditch cable TV?  It could very well happen.
