...just a warning, some of you are not going to believe how ridiculous this one is...so only read if you are willing to realize how dumb i can be sometimes...or at least lazy without logic.
so, my new amazing apt is fully furnished. its kind of weird b/c somethings are new and so nice (pretty much everything in my bedroom and so much more) and other things are oddly old and disfunctional...just keep reading.
first, the washer and dryer (pretty ghetto....but still oh so grateful!). also, well, there's really only one also.
the tv.
an old philips, with maybe 10 channels (3 at somewhat visible quality and sound without too much adjustment of the cable in the back)...with channels being 2, 5, 8, 11, 68 (tbs), 85 (spanish..thank goodness i have that one!), 87 (WB), 102 (CBS), and 125 (upn...again, thank goodness!)...and the best part, no remote. yep, that's right...no clicker, no changer, no whatever other name there is for it out there (you're welcome to add to the list via comments).
so, this hasn't been a huge issue yet b/c i usually pick one show to watch a night and just stick to that channel...that is, until last Tuesday night!
two huge shows! Gilmore Girls season finale and American Idol (only 4 left!...now 3). so...i was so excited i had just discovered the WB channel a few days earlier...but only to figure out that it was channel 87...and the other desired channel...channel 5. yep...that means they are 82 button pushes away from eachother. so, i did the only sensible thing.
...well, it seemed sensible at the time.
i determined to watch both. so, on GG commercials i flipped to 5...oh wait...i mean i got up off the couch...and began pressing the down arrow...for like 1.2 mins...at least...it really seemed like 10 as i waited in suspense hoping to catch as much of both shows as possible.
now, you probably think that would maybe last one or two commercial breaks...well, if you know anything about me, you know that when i am determined to do something, and its a challenge, and i see how ridiculous it is, my pride kicks in and i just keep doing it out of a desire to prove it to myself that i can. and i did. the whole hour. every commercial break...i got up and pressed the arrow button 82 times. over and over again.
i wonder how much of the shows i actually caught...in mins. oh, if only i had a changer, clicker, remote, whatever!

i think maybe the housechurch should pitch in and buy you a new remote - this is seriously pretty funny.
