Weekend Update

A week sure goes by fast. A weekend even faster.
People who know me know that I don't watch TV very often. It has less to do with trying to keep my mind from being turned to mush than it has to do with the fact that I almost never remember when a show I want to watch is on. There are a few exceptions, like Lost, CSI, My Name is Earl and recently Pushing Daisies.
That said, I just bought a TiVo DVR a few days ago. It's an 80GB Series 2 unit. They're doing a special until the end of the month where you get that unit and a refurbished wireless adapter and, if you choose the 2-year service plan, it'll cost you just under $100. It's quite awesome, considering that my local cable company – Comcast – when asked about DVR service told me that I had to upgrade to their Prime package that included two movie channels and it would cost me $56 a month. Um... no thanks Comcast, you bloodsucking bastards.
I'm not sure how this is going to impact my spare time, but I'm willing to bet I'm going to have far less of it. Couch potato, here I come!
