Broken Leg

Thanks for the post from Al Mills

Ever since I broke my leg I’ve been spending a lot of time at home trying to recuperate. I’m more or less bedridden and it’s been tough since I’m such an active person but I can tell you guys what’s helping me get through it all: QVC! I got a satellite system from http://www.direc4u.com/nv/l/las-vegas/>last month and thank goodness for that, because it’s really helped me get by these last few months stuck at home. I have developed quite an affinity for the Home Shopping Network as well but QVC is really where I spend a lot of my time. I don’t order too terribly much which is good since it could be expensive but I have gotten a couple of things like some jewelry and a dog carrier for Lola. I don’t know what I would have done these last few weeks without the TV and ever since the accident, I’m not sure I’m going to get back up on a mountain bike again anyway, so I guess we’ll see if this continues!

Elaborately Broken Pacing and Harven Birdman: Attorney at Law

The article written by Karl Morgan

Being a comedy writer means that I'm always looking around for inspiration. Most of the time, I find that my own life is strange enough to inspire some comedy writing, but sometimes I have to take things to a new extreme. Sometimes, I need to shock my brain into thinking in different ways. Sometimes, I need to watch a cartoon like Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law.

Harvey Birdman is, for lack of a better word, absolutely crazy. I've never watched a show that even approaches its narrative speed. Episodes can span several minutes or several decades, and characters can change their appearance, demeanor, and backstory on a dime. The jump-cuts are loud and exciting, the music is deliberately cheesy, and the dialogue is deliberately rushed and stilted. I mean, it's like they've set out to create the worst cartoon of all time, but they've done it on purpose. The effect is truly hilarious.

If you have a Satellite TV subscription from www.TVbyDirect.com, just flip onto Adult Swim and check it out on Saturday. You won't know what you're watching, and you won't be able to keep up with the show until you're used to it. Really, though, that's the point. You have to surrender yourself to it and let the absurdity wash over you.

State fair fun time

Guest post written by Natalie Rogers

I hate to admit it, but I've never been to the state fair. i've just always gone to the county one because I grew up four hours from the state captial and my parents never wanted to drive that far when we had teh county fair to go to. So now that I'm in college and just about a 20 minute drive from the fair grounds, I've decided to go with my roommmate.

There's a bus that takes us from campus to the fairgrounds for free, so I'm pretty psyched about that. I found that info with our DIRECT TV internet bundle CLEAR and that also we get a student discount! I'm all about saving money as much as I can, besides I am a poor unemployed college student.

Now, I love riding scary rides but now that I'm a little bit older they scare me a little more because I worry about the safety of them. So what we're most excited about is the section of the fair where all teh food vendors are and eat our weight in fried food.

No Demands...Just On Demand

Author: Miles King

The smell of popcorn is wafting from the kitchen to the living room, as my husband and I settle in on the couch beside a newly kindled flame in the fireplace. As he flips through the channels (he makes this a habit, which drives me crazy), it dawns on me that we can now watch movies on demand from www.tvbydirect.com/directv-deal/OHIO-OH-direct-tv.html. Finally, there is something to agree on.

I appreciate that in demand is divided into categories so we can develop a better sense of what we're in the mood for. After the week we both had, a comedy wins out. As I go to get the popcorn, I just think to myself what a nice evening this is. As the rain beats down on the awning, it is comforting to watch on demand movies and not have to trek to the theater.

Watching on demand movies on satellite tv has made the weekends so relaxing and enjoyable. Handfuls of popcorn later, I am enjoying the comedy we chose. My husband turns to me at the end and asks if I'm ready for another. After pressing a couple of buttons, a new cinematic adventure begins, and I rest my head comfortably on his shoulder. Why can't every part of life be as easy and nice as watching a movie at home?

Movies on Demand

Posting by Tim Yokes

I am a movie fanatic, so I guess you can say I spend a lot of time watching movies that I purchase from Movies on Demand. My wife and I try to spend at least 2 nights out of the week to have a date night, where we pop a big bowl of popcorn and rent a movie. directtv premium movie channels in Phoenix always has the newest movies that are out, which is nice when you like to stay up to speed on all the new movies out there. The most recent movie we have watched was Couples Retreat. It was such a great movie. We chose this movie because Vince Vaughn was in it and because it was a comedy.He has always been hilarious in all the movies I've watch him in so I knew this movie wasn't going to let me down.

The movie was about couples that decided they would all go on a retreat together to help improve their relationships with each other. When they arrive to their destination they quickly realize it's not exactly what they had imagined! This movie isn't really suitable for young children however. So make sure you try to pick a night with no kids!
