What's grinding my gears..

The only serious drawback to living on campus that comes to mind right now is the lack of premium TV channels, and now we can't even get NBC.

As a person with a pretty set schedule of flipping to NBC for Conan O'Brian after the Colbert Report every weeknight, trying to find something new to watch as I drift off to sleep is getting pretty maddening.

So that's beef number one: Charter please get it together and finish up your negotiations, it is ridiculous to not provide a network station. I have been patient for the past week, but not anymore.

Next victim...

iTunes.

As there is a both a torrent block and an inaccessibility to Showtime on campus, I have now missed two weeks of Dexter, and iTunes is not providing the new season yet. I'm willing to pay the outrageous price for a season pass just to get to see it, but no.. it's nowhere to be found. Entourage has been back for over a month and it is still not posted either.

Sure these are meaningless creature comforts to some, but enjoying a favorite TV show after a long day's work is a nice way to wind down, and these numskulls sure aren't making that easy.
