This week I have had a lot of spare time, being sick and all, so I have even had a chance to think about some of my favourite activities to fill in my spare time…
I love to play computer games, but generally only the really good ones. I love to play LOTRO, and play a Minstrel with my fiancé’s Guardian and it is so much fun! We never seem to find much time for it though, so I am still a really low level. The highest I have ever gotten was level 35, and I can’t wait to get into the Mines of Moria! LOTRO is a game I am proud to play… unlike Faerie Solitaire which was a demo I downloaded from the Virgin Media site. I didn’t pay for it, that’s how I justify playing it for an hour… that’s how long the demo is, an hour of play, and in the span of about a day, I managed to rack up an hour on that silly game. It was sort of… no was completely mindless, so I don’t really know why I played it… I think just because I like faeries. And not stinking Disney Tinkerbell faeries, real earthy faeries like the ones you find in Brian Froud’s work.
Anyway, the reason I was on the site is because I want to get all those new digital TV channels. See, my fiancé and I bought a television a few months back that can supposedly pick these things up. No need for a set top box. What I didn’t realise, is that I would still need a satellite or digital aerial of some sort… I don’t really know what I need, exactly, in spite of trying to figure it out for the last few hours. I hope it isn’t a satellite, because I would need help with that, I am sure I couldn’t do it by myself. I was hoping to be able to get all this stuff set up and surprise my fiancé with my ingenuity.
I think I need some sort of equipment to pick the channels up, and from what I am reading, I think perhaps that’s a Eurovox. I have seen the boxes for those things in electronics stores, but didn’t pay much attention. The Dreambox might work the same way, but I am not sure. I don’t want Sky just yet, as I don’t want to pay for TV just yet, I just want the shiny new digital channels. I do want cable TV at some point, just focusing on the other side of it for the moment.
Anyway, my last meal is threatening to make a repeat show, so I am going to go lay down, but before I do… Today’s knitting pattern!!! All this talk of television got me to thinking of this pattern, the Mrs Darcy cardigan. It’s been such a long time since I saw Pride and Prejudice on TV, that was a fun series. Anyway, this is a really pretty pattern, have a go!
