Got my cable connection yesterday and I've just spent 2 days of my life watching mostly utter crap and wondering why I bothered. There was a ray of hope amidst the despair when Steven Gerrard drilled in one of the most fantastic goals in football ever when he hit a 30 yarder to level scores for Liverpool against West Ham in the FA Cup 2006 final with just two minutes to go. Definitely one of the jaw dropping moments on TV.
The rest of the stuff on TV was more of the same with endless boring soap operas, lottery shows, music videos et al. I did manage to catch 20 minutes of Lost before I myself felt lost due to lack of context since I haven't seen the previous shows.
Discovered a wine shop near my place. So it was with 2 pints of beer that I settled down to watch the Spanish Grand Prix that Alonso went on to win comfortably. My first drop of drink in nearly a month! Gave me a nice fuzzy feeling it did.
Went on to watch some more stupid TV for the sake of it before finally giving up. God! I do hope the FIFA world cup is here real soon! Can't wait for some quality action to fill up the screen and to hear the words that every football fan loves to hear: "G-o-o-o-a-a-a-l-l-l!"
