Tim & I have been studying for finals night & day. It has caused me to cast my gaze around various corners of the living to try and let my eyes rest of the words I'm burning into them. The other night I noticed how ghetto our TV is. We're too cheap to buy one so my mother gave us one she wasn't using, we're also too cheap to pay for cable, and too cheap to buy rabbit ears. Heck, we're even to cheap to buy cereal at full price.
Our solution? Foil, cable cord, & an awesome iron candelabra I bought from the D.I. 3 years ago.
Splendid. We college kids know how to conserve.
I gagged in horror.
Still, I'm sure I'll look back on this one day while sitting in my couch that wasn't purchased through craigslist, or D.I. and think fondly of the ghetto makeshift antenna we constructed to get 3 extra channels, two of which are Spanish. :-)
oh yeah, and I bought the chest it's sitting on at the D.I. too instead of an entertainment center. In all honesty I'll probably never get rid of it. We're so obviously cheap. lol

Don't you love the "making do," and "recycling" you do as newlyweds. It is hysterical to see the new things pop up around our house as a "New Decoration" But I must admit, the lamp/wire thingy may take the cake!
You stole my thunder- I was all set to delete my myspace, but now I will just look like a copy-cat :). Good for you though. I don't know if I'm strong enough yet to delete both myspace and facebook :)
hahahaha. oh, i wish that you would have stolen the bunny ears from our apt. if i'd known how ghetto you've decided to go, i would have given them up -- no questions asked!
So, I just remebered when we moved we found like 400 TV antennas in storage (that may be a little exaggerated). But anyways, if you guys want one, we would be more then happy to give you one so you could have more than 3 channels!
