We can't stop here, this is bat country!

I'm about to start stumbling through the world of life without cable. This is intimidating. The fear in the air is palpable.

I've thought about doing this for quite a while but just never had a strong impetus to take the plunge. Two weeks ago my girlfriend threw a Wiimote through my Sony LCD. I know, I should have had the straps on. All I ever played was Guitar Hero, hence the straps being removed from the controllers. The first time I put Wii Bowling into the damn Wii in about 4 years and the TV gets busted.

Go figure.

Weeks have passed. I've dithered, hemmed, hawed and researched. I even cried a little. We spent hours at J&R Music World and PC Richards while battling fierce hangovers from the party where we finally destroyed the TV completely in the best party game ever.


So we split the cost of a new awesome Sony Internet Enabled TV, a 46EX520- 46 inches of LED Internet enabled awesomeness and decided that we'd cancel cable for a while to pay back the cost of the TV. Is this a smart move? Will our relationship survive the two of us actually having to talk? The answer so far is "I don't know". We haven't talked yet - she's playing on-line poker and I'm aimlessly blogging about cutting the cord with Time Warner. How long can man go without channel surfing?

We're about to find out.

Stay tuned.
