I am sitting here on my couch in complete awe. Not more than ten minutes ago, the sort of roommate (the one who's parents own the place and she occasionally lives in the basement for a day or two) comes into our house with her married sister and husband and takes a few things and then on their way out, this is how the conversation went:
TV on in the background
Sort of Roommate sister: Oh, we are going to need to take the cable box.
Me: Oh.
Proceeds to prepare to unplug cable box
Me: Well... is this going to be coming back or is this like gone forever (I still have high hopes that maybe our cable is going to be upgraded or the cable box needs be to switched out or something)
Sort of Roommate's sister: No it is going to be gone forever. My parents can't afford it anymore because the price increased like $60, so it is being switched back to basic cable.
Me: Oh.
At this point, my insides are being torn apart as I realize that all 500 or so of our channels are going to be switched to like 10. That's NBC, FOX, ABC, CBS and maybe KJZZ if I am lucky. To put it in perspective, I never really watch anything on those channels besides the Amazing Race and American Gladiators (which is great I might add).
So they are awkwardly removing our cable box, I am still in awe and we just have to watch this all happen. We were currently watching Snoop Dogg's Fatherhood and it was like seriously a scene out of a dreadful movie. All of the sudden, it was a fuzzy screen as they removed the cable. It was horrible. So after they are out of the way of the TV and rummaging around the kitchen for awhile, Jordan goes to change the channel. By this time, it had changed to some odd, random channel probably located near channel 65 that is playing a nightly mass. So he changes the channel up one channel and it goes to mass, changes it again, same mass, changes it again, same mass. He then proceeds to push the button a million times and it keeps going back to the same thing: MASS! "That's it?!" he said as we all sit on the couch dumbfounded. I am not even kidding... the only channel that we have is some weird televangelist station. We told them this on their way out, but they are convinced that it will change channels with the remote (I don't believe them). To be safe, I am going to email my management company to see if we are supposed to get cable... which I am almost positive we are. Let's just say in the mean time, my television viewing is either going to drastically decrease... or things are going to get a lot more religious around here...
Oh the adventures I have had with living in this apt...

sweet kristine, just watch it and picture Rob & Big and Project Runway....hahha sucka!
That sucks, I don't know what I would do either, I watch so much TV. We love American Gladiator too!
One thing is for sure - with Jordan around there will be cable! You think he is going to miss Sports Center?? As for me, I couldn't live without TLC!
I guess that leaves us more time to plan the wedding...? You have had some funny stories with those people. Sorry, I know sometimes you just want to chill. Good luck getting it taken care of now.
That sounds retarded. Renters have a LOT of rights, you should look into this situation ASAP. That sounded like they were breaking several rules. There is cable a plenty at Grandpa's house! It will come soon.
Sorry it took me so long to comment but I was busy watching cable.
Not very long till your married and don't have to worry about roommates. TOO WEIRD!! Some people have serious issues!!! Could you pay for it?

Funny story, what weird people. Do you live somewhere different than last year? I am dying at Katie's comment. I was "interneting" the other day and Nick yells from the other room, "hurry up, American Gladiators is starting!" I was like, seriously, this is what we are going to watch?? But when I went in there he was half way through it and I sat down and we couldn't turn it off, we watched the whole two hours. It is just so over the top, how can you not watch it? We were laughing our heads off when the women were doing the obstacle course and neither of them could finish it. The one poor girl kept falling off of the uphill treadmill thing, it was like a car wreak, you just can't turn away.
apologies. apologies.
I am currently at my house in the 4th ward. But I live in St. George until May. Bleh. It is like utah's armpit. Where are YOU?
