The One with the Season Premiers
Hey, everybody! So, what do you think? So far the results have been positive, but I would LOVE suggestions and comments. I am still running across glitches in the Flash movies, but I was so excited last night when I realized I could have it all finished that I kinda just slung it out there. I planned to do a little more testing first, but I made you guys wait SOOOO long! I'm sorry! I hope it was worth the wait.
So, I should really tell you about my growing dilemma...It is the tv. I know, I know..."Stay away from the boob tube!" And normally, I do. But when I moved down here to Waco, we got expanded cable with a DVR. A DVR! WOO HOO!! It's so much fun. Never again do I have to miss any of my favorite shows! I just set it to record and away we go. I aplaud the genius who invented these things. It's awesome! Alas, here's the rub.
Man was not meant to watch all of his favorite shows. Remember when two shows would come on in the same time slot and you had to fight with yourself about which to watch? I mean, you could do the switch back and forth at the commercials thing, but that takes something from both shows. Then, of course, came PiP. A thrilling advancement, to say the least, but the only harder than dividing your attention between channels as you flip back and forth is dividing your attention between two sections of the screen. Grrrr....
Well, DVR's have made that problem a thing of the past...and ushered in a whole new realm of horror. Now, the other show is simply recorded to the hard drive along with all the shows you missed while you were at work or school. When you get home, there are 50,000 shows waiting to be watched! Then you have to decide which to watch first...and you think, "I really should just delete some of these...but that's such a waste! And free information that I am just passing up!" I know, it's silly.
Actually, my problem right now is just that I have to catch up on all the shows I missed while I didn't have a television! I figure that once I have seen them all, I can switch to only recording the new shows each week and save loads of time. Ah...if only that were the sole problem.
See, now it's Septenber and we all KNOW what that means. The networks are unveling all of their new shows and before I know what's happening, my hands are punching up each one and hitting record. I can't stop myself! By the way, this is how I am at libraries too. I want to read ALL of the books! It pains me to know that I will never accomplish that. I wish I could download information directly into my head. Yeah...that'd be nice.
Phew!!! It's so nice to be able to write my long tirades out again! I imagine that for the next week or so, I will be updating like a mad man. Enjoy!

Wish you would decide to update from Ovilla for a couple of days. (I can't give up.) Have a backup plan to get out if the creek (er, river) rises.
