1 day in

after having my DVR for just 1 day, i am beginning to fear the complete and total end of what little social life i had left. true, i've been homebound for a month now do to the surgery and recovery, so any passes on social outings were more out of necessity and less out of a general lack of desire. but now that i'm almost back on my feet i feel like this thing could become my new go to excuse for passing on spending time with people who don't work from a script.

yesterday i hooked up the lil' DVR and looked for instructions on how to use it. no instructions? what? surely there's more to it than just selecting what you want and hitting record. surely there isn't. and thus began my descent into madness, well this latest mutation of it to be a little more honest. i recorded the new real world while watching something else. then watched the real world. when it finished, after successfully skipping through all the commercials i realized i missed the family guy. so i rewound the family guy AND futurama and watched both shows. at this point my mind was almost completely blown.

now with just the touch of a button i can get all caught up on the final season of angel, do the degrassi thing, watch some QAF, along with the episodes of kate & allie and moonlighting i have waiting for me.

wow, my life just detoured from sad to tragic in under 20 hours. and with 40 or so degrassi episodes on deck i'm well on my way to achieving the hermit status i've sought out for years now. score.
