My obsession with TV....Not going anywhere, anytime soon!
So this weekend I had planned on doing absolutely nothing. I was invited to a housewarming. And I would've loved to have gone but I'm beyond broke. When charging your groceries becomes a way of life, things just ain't right. So if I can't afford groceries, I sure as hell can't afford a housewarming gift. A bottle of wine would've been easy. I could do that. Unfortunately for me, the hostess requested that we bring things for her newly acquired housemate, a cousin relocated after Hurricane Katrina. No way was I getting by bring a bottle of Chardonnay. So I skipped it. Decided I was going to stay home, do a little housework, stay under the covers and just veg (sp?). Well, I got it half right.
After what seemed like a month and a half of rain, the sun came out. And I couldn't go nowhere cuz after Mother Nature tried to drown my ass, she gave me a big old FUCK YOU by sidelining me with a cold. BabyGirl does not do sick well. So in the house I stayed. All weekend. With nothing but my television to keep me company.
We had a ball my television and I. First, Oxygen had a mini Diff'rent World marathon. There's nothing better than a mini Diff'rent World marathon than a full day Diff'rent World marathon. I'll just have to cop the DVD collection after I maybe cop a DVD player!!
But if that wasn't enough, hot damn, I discovered that iO now offers VH1 Soul. Can you say 24/7 videos. I don't watch BET just because they show too many damn videos. But VH1 Soul is different. No rap videos (okay maybe a few). And no repetitiveness, unless you watch all day and discover that it's on an 8 hour loop! But they play my kind of videos. Who knew Mint Condition put out a video for "Whoa!". Certainly not me since I don't watch BET, not like they play Mint Condition videos anymore.
*And totally off topic, who in the hell told the powers that be over at BET that it was a good idea to replace Midnight Love with The Jamie Foxx show. Don't get me wrong, Jamie is funny as all hell but Midnight Love was my video fix.*
But I digress. Where else am I going to get my dose of Maxwell videos until he drops the new CD in February (and he better not push the release date back either, but that's another post!) and see Kindred videos and Floetry videos and Tevin Campbell videos and Chante Moore videos (okay maybe no Chante videos but you get the picture!) I've found a new friend - channel 189. When there's no Law & Order, no Grey's Anatomy, no Desperate Housewives, no Amazing Race, no good HBO Saturday night movie, I've got VH1 Soul.
But I still need TiVo!

Hol on! iO has VH1 Soul? It's a wrap and I feel you on the TV obsession especially since you watch all my favorites. Especially The Amazing Race. I heart Phil.
I digress.
TiVo is a beautiful thing. It recorded a bunch of Different World episodes with out me having to ask.
Girl why were they giving TiVos away last week at the Javitts Center?
And, Max, why am I just now hearing about this. For future reference, I'm in need of TiVo, an iPod, and a digital camera. I will make it my business to be wherever the free giveaways are!!!
Girl...I have bootleg cable so no VH1 Soul. When I did have it..it was GREAT! I have a slight TV obsession also. Right now I am all up on Lost and Grey's Anatomy. Law & Order...all 187 of them are classic. I have been a fan since the days when they had theme music while driving. With Mike and the old man that was shot.
TiVo (or DVR... or whatever you've got that records without having to have an engineering degree) ROCKS!
