What are your thoughts on watching TV?

Since the move back in December I've watched no TV excepting small bits and pieces seen when visiting people. Even though my computer contains a TV tuner card, I haven't bothered to hook any sort of antenna. It's been an interesting change from the full cable that I was hooked up to back in BC.

Now with my upcoming move to the North-East of the city, I've been reevaluating things, and am trying to figure out if I should pick up at least basic cable. The summer gives me a little extra time, as I'm currently neither TAing nor taking classes. One alternative would be to subscribe to one of these DVD-by-mail rental places. I'd probably opt for Zip.ca as it seems to one of the largest selections of titles (it might even be the largest for all I know).

So, what if any TV do you watch, and how long in a week might you find yourself watching?

A nice dreary long weekend...

I ended up scrapping thoughts of going camping on the weekend as the weather was looking remarkably unspectacular. I've grown accustomed around here to not carrying a jacket everywhere that I go, but ended up seeing rain on both Friday and today. Given the weather, I also decided not to bother driving up to Red Deer to chase the 2816 back down to Calgary.

This evening I spent some time navigating my way around the northern regions of the city, which is soon to become my new home. Under some rather ominous skies I went for a walk in Nose Hill Park. It's not a park that I've visited before, but it proved somewhat interesting. Nose Hill is a rather pitiful excuse for a hill, but had just enough of an incline that from the location that I was standing you couldn't see the city to the East. Thus, it looked just like open grasslands fading off into nothingness for the most part. While there I stumbled across a few of these:

In retrospect I should have taken my camera, but checking out this park was a spur of the moment idea. Something that I'll have to do later I suppose.
