Back from the Dead

And so here we are, a year into this blog experiment more or less, and it's amazing how little I stuck to trying to write in it. Funny how for some people it's almost second nature to write their lives out in their blogs and for others it's a vague afterthought.

It's been three months since my last post (why do I now feel like i'm going to blog confession?) and I only find myself in this "create post" window because I'm bored. Yes, I've got a million things I could be doing but instead I'm bored. Funny how it happens sometimes. I could be cleaning my room, could be looking for jobs, could be working on my taxes (yuck), but instead i'm sitting in front of my keyboard debating whether or not to watch a movie or just see what Tivo's got in store for me tonight... and here's my little sidetrack comment for the night, what will become the crux of my post: Tivo.

I can't say it enough: I love TiVo.
Unless you've used it yourself you have no idea how much it will change your life. Imagine never having to set a VCR to record a show you love. Imagine a machine that actually remembers your favorite actors, your favorite movies, and your favorite episodes for you and records them for you without having to say a word. Now imagine always having something on TV that you want to watch. That's what Tivo's all about. The ironic thing about Tivo is that you can't imagine how amazing it is until you've used it, and the price is so steep that most people wouldn't dream of buying it since they've never used it before. Take my word... if you've ever thought about buying a Tivo... do it. You really will never watch TV the same way again.

Okay, off to watch a couple Fawlty Towers episodes and then fall asleep early. Tomorrow will be a fun day... doing job applications and cover letters so I need sleep bad. But hey, if I get a good job then I get a new car and I can move out of the house... ah yes... then, as they say, it's all good.
