sports world, why are you denied me?!
So we have like a million channels of cable here (really, over 400!), which means that there are alot of sports channels available to me. And yet, they (that is, th folks inside the tv) could still run things much better. It seems to me that there must be someone playing professional sports at every single moment of the day or night--many more than one someone, most of the time. Why, then, do we have to suffer through taped soccer games repeated three times on the same channel, or college rugby taped in November of last year?! Think of all that should be available round the clock: soccer from Europe, Africa, Asia and the Americas, various other rugby and football games, European basketball, cycling, Russian hockey, sailing, camel racing, elephant tug-of-war... who knows? The possibilites are endless! And yet there's no way for us to watch any of these things. That just makes it all the more painful, knowing they're happening and yet are denied to me.
Oh well, that just means I have more time to do work. Which I have been doing today, except for watching Manchester City and Birmingham play to a draw in a very exciting game, which was shown on tape delay. They played yesterday. It was good and all, but how much less sweet is it knowing that, instead of stale taped action, I could be watching live elephant tug-of-war, direct from Thailand via sattelite?!
