Although I confessed to being an ANTM addict yesterday, there are only three shows that I actually watch regularly on normal – that is, free-to-air - television:

• Grey’s Anatomy;
• Heroes; and
• Ugly Betty

When we had Foxtel installed just a short time ago, I had an IQ unit set-up in my bedroom, because of my ultra-busy and fabulous life. Heh, or really just because I’m never home in time for primetime television, because of school. No matter! IQ can record shows, and it can be scheduled remotely and blah, blah, blah.

Only, here’s the thing: Foxtel, for some reason, isn’t airing Channel Seven.

Naturally, all three of the shows I listed above? On Channel Seven. Of course. At first, I was all, “It’s cool, because Heroes hasn’t started yet and Grey’s Anatomy is replaying on Channel W and I can always buy Ugly Betty on DVD.” And then Gentil messaged me, and said, “Woo! Heroes is starting on Thursday.”

That’s when I reached through the IM window and killed him. True story.

Anyway. Now I have this fancy, expensive piece of hardware sitting in my room, doing absolutely nothing useful for me, and I am faced with a choice. I can either go and stay at my ex-boyfriend’s house every Thursday (…) or, I can do without the new season of Heroes until it comes out on DVD in ten million years.

Bets, everyone?
