Happy Turkey Day!

I just want to say Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. If you don't celeberate it, then... happy weekend :)

TVs & Movies

Well, I've cut my cable service for a while and opt watching things online. And I'm so happy because of a lot of things:
1. By watching things online, I can watch it whenever I want. I can even pause it to receive a call, answer the door, etc.
2. Online TV has much less commercial, so overall, the time spent to watch a programme is shorter, so it gives me sometime to do something else.
3. I'm saving my money by cutting my tv bill.
The list can go on and on, but those 3 reasons are just the most obvious ones for me. During this economic mess, it's never hurt to cut back on spending. So this leads me to my next point. Movies.

I love watching movie, but the price to watch a movie is just too much for me. Before it was $7, now it's as much as $12. I'd prefer to just wait until the DVD comes out and I'll go ahead and rent it out. If I really really like the movie, then I'll go buy the second hand DVD (same movie, same quality, and but at a fraction of the price of a new DVD). Yes, I know sometimes I'm just itching to watch the movie at its opening week (like the upcoming Madagascar 2, love the first one so much). But I don't know if that satisfaction worth the price of ticket. I think I'm willing to spend the money to watch something that's really moving or much better to be watched with theater's surround system. Other than that, I'd rather watch the movie 3 months later at the comfort of my own sofa.
