curse you, red baron!
and you too, directv... how can you shut down on me just when i sit down to watch the season premiere of true blood?! (yes, i know it was on sunday night, but i had family in town & we were out & about playing cards & socializing w/friends...)
now i have to wait for a man to come by 2 days from now (after begging one of my friends to come by & wait for him b/c i am stuck in all-day card sort analysis meetings for the rest of the week), just for the privilege of paying an extra $50 for an upgrade to a DVR & hoping he makes everything work again before i get home. if you've seen it, don't tell me what happened--i want to enjoy an unspoiled squee over it, whenever it finally gets here.
in other news, my bro & sister-in-law took me geocaching for the first time this weekend. it was quite an adventure, even before we ran into the nice mormon boy & girl on a first date riding the the national forest service road behind bogus basin which resulted in an accident in which she flew over the handlebars, yielding a broken arm, me calling 911 to get a lifeflight arranged to take her to the hospital, transporting the paramedics to her on an ATV, and same said paramedics using my treasure valley roller girls shirt as a sling to keep her shoulder immobilized for the transport. oh, and did i mention we used the back half of my car as a quasi-ambulance? who knew geocaching was such an extreme sport? (and yes, i know what you're all thinking--and no, i'm not suddenly all that outdoorsy. but this is puzzle-solving. puzzles are fun. hiking with no purpose? yawn. hiking with a puzzle to solve? that is awesome... though not as awesome as it would be IF ONLY I COULD WATCH TRUE BLOOD RIGHT NOW...)
