I OnDemanded Phantoms<\/em> yesterday…lemme trail off for a minute here.<\/p>\n

OnDemand. I talked about this on the old version of my website, but I’m gonna do it again, because I really enjoyed the shit people thought they were giving me for what I was paying for cable….
\n
\nMy current bill is about $150. I recently dropped the four extra IPs in favour of my own nice little router. Also, it looks like I’m getting my HD box for free. I won’t complain about that at all.<\/p>\n

What I am<\/em> paying for is more channels than I need, and very nice high speed cable internet.<\/p>\n

Also, I get this really spiffy thing called ‘OnDemand’. And most of it is free with my various subscriptions. I’ve got HBO, Cinemax, Starz, Showtime, some TMC thing — all sorts of movies under each of them for free whenever I want to watch them. Plus various series…es. Whatever. I’ve got all of the current Bullshits, whenever I want to watch them. And that’s just the premium channels. There’s the Free Movies section, which is seperate. Cable Favourites, which includes Court TV, the History Channel, all manner of Discovery Channel subchannels, the National Geographic channel….<\/p>\n

I get a lot of free shit. I think there are even free guitar, voice and cooking lessons. Possibly a couple of language things, too. And there’s an Adult Swim section.<\/p>\n

The only thing I don’t have from Comcast right now is their TiVo thing. I really don’t care about that, though. HD is really all I want right now.<\/p>\n

Back to…what was it, oh yeah, the thankfully free Phantoms<\/em>. I think all I really have to say is ‘Dean Koontz’.<\/p>\n

“You see a shotgun and a crucifix. You can only carry one. Which will you take?”<\/p>\n

If you say ‘cruicifix’, you might be at the end of a Koontz story….<\/p>\n

…if you’re wondering about the title, no, I’m not going to talk about them right now. I’m going to quit for a while because it’s time to stare at the ceiling.<\/p>\n
