I should have something about
Sarah read about nine books and watched only a moderate amount of Veronica Mars (she’s on a campaign to get the whole world to watch it, so if she hasn’t knocked on your door yet, she will, and soon). I reread The Catcher in the Rye for the first time since high school, and watched Belle de Jour, Midnight Express, and The Aristocrats. I also had The Third Man, that Metallica documentary, and Princess Mononoke standing by, but after the third flick it started feeling a bit too much like work. I should at least make some kind of comment on what I watched and read, but I still haven’t shaken of the lazy.
We also bought a PVR this weekend, which I’m officially in love with. Too long have I spent cursing out my American friends and their access to TIVO. No longer. The saddest thing is that I only just found out Canadians had access to this TIVO-substitute about a month ago. Jeezus—I can now pause live TV. Shove your flying cars up your assess, people. The future is here.

My advice ... record everything you plan to watch but do something for about 30 minutes before you start (to create your commercial buffer). Commercials are the enemy. Nothing is as upsetting as 'catching up to realtime'.
Also a pisser: when you're watching and taping a show, but you're about 20 minutes behind, and the machine finishes recording and immediately launches you into real time.
Although I have recently discovered that most of my shows are available online with very few commercials.
With the exception of House and Lost.
Seeing as we won't have cable, I doubt we will have a PVR, rich boy.
Did you get a tan? White boy?
