Family.... United

We got Jade World last week. It's Chinese pay-tv.

In response to my getting Foxtel, my sis thought it unfair she doesn't get to watch pay-tv. And after not much persuasion, my dad said happy yes and now we have a new TV for the new Jade World box and a new fucking big dish outside my window.

One would think, new pay-tv set up should bring the family all into the living room and watch all these programs for hours on end. ... one would be wrong.

In this household, never do the four people all watch one program for more than 2 minutes. Rarely do three people all watch one program for more than 5 minutes. Sometimes two people do watch the same program. Always do one person watch many programs on their own. So, I can be found in the rompus room watching Foxtel, or in my own room watching free TV. Dad can be found during news and current affair hours watching the new Jade World, or in his room watching free TV. Mum can be found watching Jade World during the soapie hours, or in her room watching free TV. And my sis can be found watching Jade World anytime she's not at work, not in the toilet/bathroom, and not in her room watching free TV.
