TV Drama

The DVR bit the dust tonight. Talk about horrible timing. I had taped the 2 hour season finale of Desperate Housewives last night and it is gone. We can't even get normal tv now :( Dish Network was very helpful, they sat on the phone with me for half an hour and tried 3 or 4 times before they gave me the bad news that the DVR is dead and they are shipping me a new one. It will be here in 4 business days. This is disheartening since there are still some season finales this week and I hate watching them on the internet.

I have always been a fan of taping a show and watching it because you can skip commercials but with a DVR, you can pause, rewind, etc. without even taping. So, when the phone rings, or I have to go to the bathroom, I can catch back up. Tonight I had to time my bathroom trips on the commercials and make sure I was back in time before the show started. I had to pay attention and not let my mind wander. I also had to watch them on the big tv but not in HD. Talk about frustrating.

Now, here's the saddest part. I can't believe how lost I felt tonight! Ryan asked me what time my show was on and what channel and I said I wasn't sure because I didn't have the guide feature! What in the world did I do before this? Now I know why people are addicted to their TIVO. I am addicted to my DVR! How pathetic is that? Especially since I don't consider myself a huge tv watcher.

Guess that fuels the need to read more books. Good thing I got a new one to keep me busy for the next couple nights.
