somethingnewToday I got rid of my cable.
Okay, so canceling cable isn't necessarily new in and of itself. I've canceled cable before. When moving to a new place, usually involving a cross-country trek.
Canceling cable 'just because' is new. With 'just because' meaning - I just realized I've turned the TV on once since December. Suddenly it seemed silly to have the digital cable and DVR. I'm not using them. Most of the time when I watch a TV episode it is through Netflix/Hulu/etc. Or I just wait for it to come out on DVD.
I haven't cut ties with my cable provider entirely. I'm still getting internet through them and that's one thing I refuse to cancel.
