The Telly Controversy

(Note: This journal entry was originally written on 9/09/08.)

I came back to the dorm from school at 8 this evening and, to my surprise, the TV was turned off. Hallelujah! I wondered why and the guys said it was because satellite was being hooked up. Oh no!

There are already arguments over what show gets watched with the five channels we had. Imagine the flare-ups when we have more possibilities. I would rather they keep the old channels or take the TV out completely.

Too bad my wishes vanished into thin air around 9:30. A guy in civilian clothes came in to set up the new channels with a remote and was gone in a matter of seconds. Waiting for the TV to self-program, the guys sat around speculating on the great new channels and shows we would get.

The TV sparked to life and the speculation was over. We now have less channels than before, but more movies and football - the main argument starters. Oh boy.
