what tivo taped for me

sara received a used tivo box from her father, who had received it from her (and family) on father's day last year. we received this box on christmas this year. THIS week is the first week that we have actually gotten any use out of it, while paying for the subscription since December. we even had a DVR from the cable company for a month while waiting to get this machine fixed.

getting tivo to work for us involved : 2 visits from the geek squad, 2 different cable purchases, 1 shipment of original machine back to tivo and 1 payment of a year's subscription that we missed cancelling by TWO days. has all this been worth it? have we cursed her father's name multiple times? have we decided never to accept gifts of USED electronic equipment? does ann love the tivo?

HECK YES!

not only does it solve the issue of ann getting to watch shows that sara NEVER would watch, it also finds shows for me to watch based on what i have chosen to record. i've decided to add a new section to my sidebar called "What Tivo Taped For ME." it has been hilarious and insulting so far. the first thing it taped that insulted me was, "the Tonight Show." i AM NOT a "Tonight Show" person at all..."Late Show" all the way. however, i am getting older...but i don't need my Tivo to remind me. Click on the Tivo box above to get more info on Tivo from Wikipedia. Now if you will pardon me, i'm going to watch my twelfth episode of "Ninja Warrior" this week.

Big ups to my friend, Danielle, who is celebrating her birthday today!!! (i'm late for work, will write more later) And to all those who might be celebrating 4/20 for another reason....peace out.
