Cable Cutting Countdown

The more I consider cancelling our cable TV service, the more I watch TV in order to take advantage of the serivce while we have it. But the more I watch TV, the more compelled I am to cancel the service. It's a vicious parabola. I'm not sure at what value of f(t) I'll actually cancel the service, but clearly as t->Tcancellation, f(t)'s value increases all the more.
  • t=August: We discover that we just don't watch TV as much since our time is increasingly more devoted to cleaning up the boys' messes...and Facebook.
  • t=September: Much to my surprise, I begin realize that professional wrestling is stupid.
  • t=Last week: I accidentally expose the boys to some sci-fi horror imagery, boxing, a murder, and Carrot Top while flipping through some channels.
  • t=Tonight: It seems as if the Disney Channel is airing movies and shows about witches, Halloween and magic all month. Blech.
At this rate, Tcancellation may be only weeks away.

I have to say that I don't really watch cable TV at all. In fact, I don't have a TV... I let Dave buy them ;) Well, okay, so I guess in some way I still pay for Cable TV through Dave's utility scheme... perhaps I'll have to renegotiate my rent with line items.
