When you really get drawn into TiVo, when you are really hooked so that you cannot do without it, and you are cycling and cycling and everything's going 'round and you haven't seen the sun in weeks, the horrible truth is on you...

TiVo doesn't make it so that it saves all your shows and you don't have to watch TV but can go off and do other things and watch things at your leisure, it makes it so that you constantly need to watch TV in order to free up room to TiVo other things! And you can never stop, never, because you might miss something good that you didn't know that you needed to watch before!

TiVo update, what I've been watching:

Behind the Music, Billy Idol. This is actually one of the best Behind the Musics ever, mostly because Billy himself is just hilarious. He is much funnier and more verbal than anyone could expect. If you ever have the chance to see it, do, he's a scream.

Saw The View for the first time, because Alan Cumming was on it, as well as Kyle MacLaughlin, but boy o boy does it ever suck! What an appalling show! It's as though they are visitors from outer space working from a primer on how Earth women act, but they only skimmed it and are getting it entirely wrong. Alan Cumming saying "O, as if!" in a Scots accent, though, is adorable. I wish he'd said it on a different show, though.

And, most importantly, the best show in the entire world, The League of Gentlemen on BBCAmerica. I don't know, maybe it's wildly popular in England, maybe everyone knows about it, but I didn't, and it was a revelation. It's a marvelous show, very strange, sort of sketch comedy, but very very dark, and only three guys mostly performing all of the roles. It takes place in a very strange town called Royston Vasey, where sometimes everyone's nose just starts to bleed.

It's like The Kids in the Hall in a nightmare. I dig it the most.

Hey, I haven't been doing Lenten Entries Missed, have I? And I cannot even blame it on the Great God TiVo, because I stopped before I got it.

Tracing celebrated the end of February, had her birthday without telling me (I still owe her presents, but since she just gave me my Christmas presents a couple of weeks ago, I have some time), was very busy, no, make that very very busy, decided to change her life, and masterminded the Greatest Journaller's Outing of Our Time.

Today's horoscope:
Setting a deadline helps you accomplish. Make a commitment to yourself to complete that nagging project.

Sometimes I like the van best because it has so much personality, but on the other hand, sometimes I could do with a bit less personality on my public transportation.
