You can pay $150 for an entire season subscription to watch every single MLB game in the fucking country in HighDef on your computer.<br /><br />The whole beauty of baseball is the pace of a season with 162 games.Regular season football is very exciting because every single game is do-or-die. Regular season baseball is peaceful and comforting.Comrade PhysioProfhttp://physioprof.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9164353561843227536.post-16636629445654019262010-07-01T05:12:01.106-05:002010-07-01T05:12:01.106-05:00tideliar nice to read your thoughts on this...tideliar nice to read your thoughts on this...Tv Showhttp://www.download-tvshows.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9164353561843227536.post-60739808233535802882010-06-28T21:58:00.142-05:002010-06-28T21:58:00.142-05:00I need my basic cable channels with Law & Orde...I need my basic cable channels with Law & Order but after that hulu is my fave.

Usually I join them around 10 minutes and use the DVR to fast forward through commercials. It means my tolerance for adverts has plummeted though...<br /><br />@PiT: Getting shows from the UK would be cool. I could save a fucking bundle too...all I need is the TV, Netflix and interchoobs access. There has to be a cheaper way of getting internet without relying on Comcast or AT&T or the satellite providers.tideliarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12570056632131128856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9164353561843227536.post-66038424440945896142010-06-28T20:55:56.842-05:002010-06-28T20:55:56.842-05:00Dude, you and me both.

TV shows which I love, and NO COMMERCIALS (the reason I ditched cable a several years back).<br /><br />The free stuff online is good enough, but the increase in commercials finally made me crack and pay for Netflix - was totally worth in terms of the money saved on late fees alone!<br /><br />Most stuff I can stream, and unlike the rental store DVD, Netflix DVDs can sit on your coffee table for weeks and not accrue late fees.feyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17504515823920550209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9164353561843227536.post-41452431296975617792010-06-28T20:04:30.749-05:002010-06-28T20:04:30.749-05:00ooh, a new new anonymous commenter.

Better than Hulu, IMO - no commercials, and I'd guess a better selection, though I have no actual evidence for that.

Right now I've got "Lie to Me" on which is at least new, albeit predictable (which is why I stopped watching before the end of last season).<br /><br />Right now though all I have for Hulu is a Macbook Pro with a 17" monitor. I need to figure out how to get it on my TV :) (i.e. buy a nice new, huge TV).<br /><br />What are MeetUp groups? I joined a Muay Thai/BJJ gym a year or so ago hoping I could meet new friends that way, but the atmosphere wasn't 100% my bag and I made excuses not to go. Now I can't really afford to rejoin. I'm thinking about finding a Judo club to join though... I need mates who aren't all about going to the pub.<br /><br />And to the few who read this, I know you've offered to do other things to help me.

Big Bang Theory (you'll love the science jokes), Better off Ted (because it's EXACTLY like my office) and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia (for humor that goes above and beyond being SO NON-POLITICALLY CORRECT).<br /><br />That's the stuff I do when I'm stuck at home because there's nothing happening. But I've also joined a ton of MeetUp groups so it's a rare night I'm home.<br /><br />We all have our ways to deal...Kyrstennoreply@blogger.com
