This is entertaining. I was able to reach level 6 before it became annoying.

I’ve been recently plagued by questions from family and friends on which they should buy, a Tivo, or the cable company DVR.

By all means, drop the 200 bucks and buy a Tivo! When it comes to doing what you want it to do the Tivo takes the cake. The DVR will record your show, sure, but it will only record what you program it to record when its programed to record. In other words, if you set it to record scrubs (which I think you should) at 8:30 on Tuesday night then it will record that show. But say theres a T.V. Award show celebrating the newest crappy reality show for showing the same damn thing they showed last season. Then your DVR will record the crappy award show. Not because it wants to torture you, no, but because it doesn’t’ know better. The Tivo on the other hand will change the recording times to record the show when its on next, and it won’t record the crappy awards show. In fact, if you have another show that airs at the same time in your “Seasons Pass Record List” then it will record one of those. Also, The Tivo is “smart”, it has a feature called Tivo Suggestions. The Tivo will look at what you have watched and will recommend shows by what you have seen or record. This in it’s self is amazing. It’s almost like the Tivo can think.

Another thing that the Tivo does that the DVR doesn’t. It will stream your MP3s from your computer to the Tivo and pipe the music through your TV or the stereo you have hooked up for that kick ass base thumping when something explodes surround sound. There is also the new music by BestBuy feature you get also when you have a Tivo. Yes that is right, you get free music to listen to also.

Whats that? ‘Can you still Pause live TV and FastFoward during commercial?’. Damn skippy you can. Not only can you fast forward, you can enter a code to allow you to skip 30seconds at a time. No more trying to start at that right time.

“what else is better with the Tivo?’ well everything. To see how much a Tivo will change the way you watch TV, you must get one. Right now, if you got to Tivo online and click on Buy Tivo and look for Web Specials you will find a Tivo for 49.99*. That is a deal!

Go get one now. Why are you still here? go get a Tivo! NOW! oh and please use me as a referral

Today is the day we’re supposed to gather with family and friends. To be welcoming to all and marvel at all wonderful children that, if they were your own you would yank a knot into and smack the hell out of the parents. I think we all have family like this.

This year we go to Selenes families house for dinner. This is how it will go down. First, we will arrive about 30 minutes late. Not because of anything anyone will do or not do. But because something will screw up. It could be anything like cars not starting or the garage doors breaking. Second, when we get there, there will be a bunch of screaming children. Yes I know, I have a child in my life. But for some reason mine seems to behave while away from home. Third, when we eat, the kids will be placed at the children’s table but won’t stay there. For some reason children have no ability to feed themselves when there is no parents around. So we will be up and down like some kind of dinner police.

Afterwards, we will be going to my families house. My mother makes some killer pies every thanksgiving. Mmm… Pies…

I eat alone. I eat alone not because i’m not liked, but because I like to. It’s called the “Looser Lunch”. I eat alone because when I work with a bunch of people all day the last thing I want to do is spend my hour eating with people that I work with. Not saying that I won’t eat with others. I love to go and have a bite to eat with my family or friends when they can make it. But the whole idea of lunching with some loud, over bearing, coworkers whos only connection to me is our job and will only want to talk about work does not appeal to me. This, for some reason does not make for a relaxing time away from your desk. When I am asked to lunch it never goes over well either. People will look at me with a inquisitive look on their faces like i’m speaking in African click language. They just don’t get it, how could I not want to eat with them. So I politely say “no thanks” or “that’s alright I prefer to eat alone” or if they’re really persistent I just say “I have a airborne decease that goes into an excited state around food. I would hate to think I could pass this illness to you…” and that usually does it.

Another thing about lunch. Some times I will eat at my desk and surf blog Explosion and eat my lunch. This seem to make the natives go nuts. It never fails. Someone will come up to my desk and say: “what’ca eating”. hummm maybe thru your impressive deductive skill you would have noticed a Taco Bell (i’m a freak for this stuff) cup next to the food. Sometimes they will also comment on my choice of lunch. They sometimes say: “ewww you like that?” or “why do you put your body through that”. I’ll tell you why. Because I like it! why else would I eat it. Hummm I don’t like to eat shit. Maybe ill have that for lunch today.
