6 Moments I Wish I Had Cable

Ok so I was gonna write a different post today but then I saw all the #PLL tweets and I couldn't handle it.

Last night it was pretty little liars.

Sunday night it was the VMAs

Like 3 months ago it was that guy tight roping or motorcycle jumping the grand canyon. I don't know the specifics.

Why don't I know the specifics? I don't have cable.

And like 95% of the time I love that! I mean I blog and now I'm designing so I have a ton of things to do on a nightly basis. I've cut down "my shows" to Once Upon A Time (judge me if you want. I love that show) and True Blood.

How do I watch True Blood? Sunday night dinners at Tom's parents. And OUAT (yeaa we have an acronymn too) I watch the day after on the abc.com app.

Sometimes tho, I feel left out. And in those moments I miss cable.

1. Awards Shows
VMA's is really all I need for support on this one. I missed Miley's epic (fail) performance. That was an issue since I'm supposed to be a blogger with a social media obsession and it's my job to know shit about what's going on in the world. Except I don't because, welp, no cable.

2. Prime Time Shows
Pretty Little Liars, Gossip Girl, Walking Dead, I don't know what other shows are the "it" shows. I don't keep up with any of them. It's too hard and wayyyy too much work to stay on top of all those shows if I can't watch them in the background of something else I'm doing. But it means I can't be a part of all these ridic conversations

3. Sports Games
Not even the Superbowl. Tom's a Red Sox fan. I'm a.. well I watch whatever people are watching. But I do enjoy watching sports and I can't do that (really Tom's the one having the issue) but I can't keep up!

4. Shark Week
I mean, I posted not once, but twice about Shark Week but I only caught glimpses of it because of my lack of cable. Alyssa even said she and her finace ended up with cable because of Shark Week. I mean if there was ever a reason, that's it

5. Commercials
I know it sounds absolutely stupid but people talk about commercials ALL THE TIME. You haven't noticied? Oh. It's because you have cable too and you're doing it just like everyone else. No I didn't realize the camel humpday meme was from a commercial, I DON'T HAVE CABLE.

6. RHW of every city ever
I used to watch RHWOC religiously. The second (I think) season came out while I was in college and got free cable. I loved it. Before Gretchen. Before there was a RHA or RHNY or whatever the fuck they are on now. But now, everyones like "blah blah Slade's brother looks like a donkey blah blah" and I'm sitting here like.. I remember when Vicki was married and had 2 kids in the house.. and Shane was the hot one everyone drooled over.

So that's that. It's still not worth paying for it because I have a serious truffle fry habit. But there are moments I wish I had cable. So I could be in on all the conversations and jokes.



And now, I wanna introduce you to a lady who's been on my side bar all month and I think she's pretty freakin' neat.

1. When and why did you start blogging?

I started blogging almost 2 years ago. It doesn’t seem like that long though because for pretty much the first year, I didn’t really get into it. I occasionally read other blogs, I rarely commented and didn’t really interact with other bloggers. And I blogged like 6 times a month. Oops. 

I started blogging because I needed an outlet. I love writing and was a journalism major in college, but was doing absolutely nothing in terms of writing (Writing grants doesn’t count. Those are no fun). So I started Life After Athens. A week or so after I started the blog, my husband proposed- so there was a definite shift from just living in the city post grad to wedding planning and life as a newlywed!

2. What is your favorite post you've written and why?

I think my favorite post I wrote was this one on Why I Suck at Being a Girl. It’s a post that so much describes who I am. Plus, I like to think I’m funny- and I feel like this post captures that.
