Hulu-ser

The digital conversion has left me with no television. The TV is still there, but it doesn't receive any signal, except for some home shopping thing on channel 7 - which is weird. I didn't know that the switch had even happened until a few days ago, when bored I flipped the power button on the remote. I saw static. I guess I thought that the government would postpone it again. The digital TV lobby must be strong. So, without analog signal the 27" behemoth is now a cumbersome paperweight. I don't even have my GameCube (i know that is old, but it works) hooked up. The DVD player is hooked up, but with external monitor(s)* and laptops strewn about the house we no longer have to sit on the couch or the broken futon.

This digital switch must have happened while I was in Puerto Rico (unfortunately, still no pictures, but I do have above ground and underwater video). Thus, in the evenings I am out of mind-numbing boob tube options (which only consisted originally of 5 channels). At least I thought that I was out of options.....

Enter Hulu. I know now what a spiritual awakening is like. I had caught a show or ten on the site, but after this weekend life is different. I have spent the entire time re-watching all three seasons of Arrested Development. This show is still brilliant. If you haven't seen it, go ahead and watch it. All of it. It will take about 22 or so hours, but you will not regret it. Well, maybe you will. Some of the funniest things I've seen in years happened over the 24 hours of arrested development. The characters and writing were great and the cast was outstanding. Afternoon Delight has to be one of the best episodes.

I am now officially a Hulu-ser.
