TiVolution

I frequently become upset with Husband because he watches so much TV. It has taken several months, but we have succeeded in keeping the TV off until the girls go to bed. So when he finally gets to watch, the pickins are somewhat slim. I therefore decided to buy him the TiVo system so his TV watching would be more efficient. I mean, come on, how many episodes of CSI and American Chopper can one man watch?

I put the entire system together yesterday and it only took eight hours. I now understand video/audio cables, IR cables, and cable boxes in general. After hooking everything up (no small feat with our entertainment system arranged the way it is) I dutifully answered every little question it asked about our cable program, zip code, area code, cable box, etc. I thought it might ask me my favorite color. I was ready. But it worked at the end of the day. Awesome. I rock.

Last night he set the programs he wanted to record in case he misses them. Guess what he put in?

CSI and American Chopper.

Lovely.

Both are about the only good shows on tv.

I LIKE American Chopper. But my all time favorite show right now is Airline. LOVE IT. I can't wait to get drunk right before my flight just so I can get a refund.
