1. I finally have a fully-functional HD TiVo!!! Yes, that warrants three exclamation points, especially since my godawful Comcast DVR died on Monday, taking with it all my recorded programs (including all of this season of BSG). Also, the corpses in CSI:NY are even yuckier in high-definition.

2. DVD watching: I saw and *loved* Persepolis ( Read more... )

In happy news... my new HD TiVo is hooked up! Comcast was supposed to come out today to install the cable cards so that I can get HD service, but they had to reschedule for tomorrow because they're out of cards. Ah, well. I still did a big ol' happy dance when I got it all hooked up last night! WHEE! Yes, I'm an obnoxious TiVo snob. Talked ( Read more... )

Was feeling a bit melancholy about age stuff, so I went shopping and got a massage. The masseuse was wonderful, but wow. Right now I feel boneless and have no energy whatsoever. I guess that's a good thing, no? In happier news... my new HD TiVo is here! I'll be SO glad to ditch that awful Comcast DVR and go back to my beloved little recorder ( Read more... )

Thank you to everyone who participated in the Snap Cup Meme, and especially to those of you who left comments on my name! Such a lovely pick-me-up, and I tend to need those far more often than I should! I tried to leave comments for those names I recognized, and I'm so glad that more names keep being added ( Read more... )

Eight things about the past twenty-four hours:

1. I've realized that I really, really need to start working on my sleep schedule. Staying up too late several days in a row brings on dreadful insomnia, like today. My goal for the next six weeks of school (only six more weeks!) is to attempt to go to bed at a reasonable hour. I suspect I will be ( Read more... )

I've HAD IT with that piece of shit that Comcast passes off as their "DVR ( Read more... )

Week one with HDTV is great... most of the time. The picture quality really is gorgeous. Though I could easily put in my DVD, I got a kick out of watching "33" (and even "Litmus") in hi-def yesterday. I keep exclaiming aloud, "It's so pretty!", for even shows I'd normally ignore. Can't wait until S4 of Galactica airs in six weeks ( Read more... )

Good evening! ( A quick question for those of you with hi-def televisions and TiVo. )

So much for that break from insomnia. Thursday night I set a reasonable bedtime (which I won't disclose because you'd disagree with "reasonable"), and I stuck to it. I also skipped my last ritalin of the night, in case that's what had been keeping me up. No problems falling asleep. I did the same thing last night. Didn't work at all, and I ( Read more... )

Whew. Much to say about BSG, especially the hilarious spoilers fracas on TWOP today, but I'll defer that to another post. I will say here, though, that I laughed long and hard at one of the talkbacks on the Pop Candy post-ep. ( No spoilers past Maelstrom. )
