Cord Cutting - so 15 min. ago.
Yeah, I know, cord cutting is sooooo 15 minutes ago. OMG!
Here is a subtle little American-ism slithering through the rank&file psyche - without regularly scheduled social "TV" events to stand as milestone or markers - the cord cutter's days are bereft of "what did you do" moments".
The other Saturday I found myself in the middle of the afternoon wondering just what it was that I should be doing. Upon reflection I realized that I didn't have "The Game" to tune into. I didn't have the pivotal match-up to reference so that I would have the appropriate Watercoolr ® highlights.
In fact I began to realize that I didn't have any of the "media markers" to matrix my life around. I don't have the "Morning Shows" (Mourning?), I don't have the midday talk/gossip programs, I don't have the "Evening News". Hell, I don't even have the late shows.
I have managed to shipwreck myself on this barren media-less island. All I have to look forward to are the birds, at the feeders, outside in the snow, through the kitchen window.
