One of the many gifts I got for Christmas this year, was one of those “iPod Pillows”. At first I was like I’ll never use that, and then I got to thinking that this would fix need for wanting to have another option to using headphones while I sleep. I had been using my ipod just for that, but I must say sleeping with ear buds or headphones is pretty uncomfortable. I had been wanting to also have my computer as an option so I could listen to my favorite online radio station as well. So after about a week of having it I starting putting it to good use by running rca cables ( via rca to 1/8 adapters) one side to my computer and the other to the pillow. This gets the sound from computer to the pillow, which provides a great speaker to put right at my headboard of my bed to sleep or wake up to listening to music, news, radio, etc.

What is with all my shows I watch being canceled or pulled because a network is merging with another network. Just this week another one of my shows I watch The O.C. is being canceled because of low ratings. I knew it was coming sooner or later, but that is not the only show I’ve been interested in that has got canceled or pulled.

What’s really bad none of the newer shows are appealing to me because they are either, too boring ,not that interesting or just lame. I guess after the 22 of Feb, ( the official date for the last show), I will try to get back into watching Scrubs, and The Office on NBC, to fill the spot that The O.C. will leave on Thursday’s nights.

Just to think that I love watching the O.C. not only for the storyline, but also for discovering new music as well. They always played new and upcoming (indie) bands on the show. I hope the rumor of CW picking up the show does come true.

1-21-07/ Update: Just after a couple of weeks of posting this, I also found out one of my fav. soaps (day time tv) Passions, is getting the boot as well and will be ending after a 8-year run in the fall. I tell ya, if this keeps up there will not be worth anything on tv to watch except for the cooking stations, cartoon stations, the home improvement stations, and the educational stations.
