It’s time for public service again and like membership in my club this counts under most court rulings (we’re also considered a halfway station for rehabilitation and socialization).
You know the drill, it’s eksmas eve and you need something to keep you awake as you finish your last minute wrapping and wrestling with directions in Swedish or Mandarin (love their fish and/or oranges).
And TV sucks. None of your usual choices at the usual times.
Well Zap2it and your humble dysfunctional Television addict has you covered and smothered below the fold.
