Not so bad, really. The box to ship my receiver back arrived today and my old phone disappears tomorrow.

And I gotta admit...the reception on my Optimus V is lacking here but a pretty sweet deal.

Also haven't had cable in a long time. We're using Amazon Prime right now. Okay selection of shows and movies, and inexpensive shipping for wedding items. Anyone using a roku box? I've heard good things. We are thinking of registering for one.

Last night at 1AM I was flipping through channels and found Radiohead playing The King of Limbs live on some station I'd never heard of called Palladia. Codex was one of the very few live versions of a song that manages to beat the album version. If I didn't subscribe to everything, I would have missed that last night, and I'd have no clue which package it was included with.

Right?! I came across Palladia about a week ago. It's phenomenal.

It's a great channel. A bit heavy on some schmaltzy crap but overall the best music television I've seen.
