productive

i spent a solitary christmas day tidying up the AV cables and editing/sifting/purging my belongings.

my main concern with cables are:
- they need to be off the ground for ease of vacuuming/swifering
- they must be more than 4 inches away from the baseboard heaters

so i used some green gardening velcro tape to wrap my cables. amazingly, i spent almost 2 hours on this ensuring the the weight of the looped cables didn't cause speakers to topple, etc.

and behold...





and since i was back there, i detached the shaw cable from the tv. i haven't had cable for about 7 years and was excited to have it back so it was disappointing when i turned on the cable to the local news (citytv, i think) and found it way too flashy and noisy. after 5 minutes i turned it off.

after about 1.5 weeks, i remembered i had cable and turned it on again but couldn't find anything interesting on the basic cable package.

so, goodbye cable.
