i haven't seen a Shakespearean play in years but I've read most incarnates of his work.

I signed up for it thru my amazon firetv and got 2 free weeks. I didn't choose to extend it past that simply because I was already getting access to most of SlingTV's content via other avenues---Sure SlingTV made it easier but I don't care about ease of use when content is all that matters. At the time, I was already viewing ESPN and they didn't have AMC yet so the cost of $20 wasn't a selling point. My issue with streaming is that there's no local content. The way my apartment is situated, I can't get a good local signal regardless of the antenna used--that's why I was so hurt when the $8/mo Aereo didn't pan out.

I wish you'd talk to my girlfriend. She thinks every single event has to be over a meal. Her favorite event is brunch. I'm convinced that brunch was created to make black folks (i.e, women feel bougie).

I download magazines all the time. Nothing has gotten me excited recently...wait, I take that back i found a Richard Pryor documentary online that I've watched atleast 3 times in the past 2 weeks.
