After moving to Ione, Charlie and I discussed just how much of the electronic sensation we needed to have in the house. We are both big movie people so we have quite a collection (around 900 movies+) and we also enjoy video games. So we thought maybe just internet would be sufficient for us. If we wanted to watch any shows we would just look them up on the internet and that would be enough. Then it took about a week and a half to get the internet hooked up and we started to doubt ourselves.
So, we ended up getting dish network. I have never had satelite TV before so it is something new at least. It seems like a sweet deal though and it includes much more than most the cable selections we ever had. The best part about finally having the internet and the TV setup though.... its snowing outside and its cold. Once it stops I will probably take the kids out to go sledding, but until then I am glad we get to watch something different than Bolt, Cars, Phineas and Ferb.... the three favorite things we have watched probably 20 times each since moving from Yuma.
On a side note, I find it depressing that I was so lost without these things. Charlie and I both had a hard time feeling connected or up to date on anything that was going on. We dont even watch the news regularly, but I think we missed the chance to do it. Maybe getting older means we will actually start paying attention to the world around us more.
