So what do
you do when
you have
insomnia?
Read a
book, pet your
pet (or "pet"
something else),
watch television,
node, or scramble around your
apartment looking for
cable tv connections?
Well, I don't know about you, but at about 5 a.m. this morning, I, unable to sleep despite the best efforts of The ABCs of Relativity] and FOX TV, discovered cable in my walls.
Soon after I had moved into my flat, I noticed two 75 ohm coaxial cables in my closet, each split into two pieces with a connector. They'd intrigued me before but I didn't want to chance messing with somebody else watching Sex and the City or Crocodile Hunter so I didn't touch them.
However, in the wee hours of the morning I have no such reservations.
I got out my 2-way splitter (you see, my tv has 2-tuner PIP)
and quickly switched it into the first cable. I plugged it into my other, soundless tv and voila! Baywatch Nights came in, perfectly clear.
I was pleased, to say the least. And I'm not a Baywatch fan, either.
My next effort was finding the ultimate end of said cable. Wouldn't you know it, it terminated in a jack in my baseboard.
So I've got cable now. I don't know how long it will last, but I know I'm taping all the Kids in the Hall while I can.
Also, I logged onto
e2 today just in time to see

Alas! The day is mine.
