Sad Geek Alert!

This TiVo/Vonage issue is still a great concern! Although Mitch was quite definite in his response the other day that the two were not compatible, when I got home that night I tried one last time, and somehow, for some reason, they decided to connect and download.

Or so I thought.

I get up this morning... And I've completely run out of program info! For some reason TiVo decided to play with my emotions. The download the other day was never truly completed. The big black depression cloud that had been looming is now directly overhead! One possible solution - internet purchasing!

First up, with the premiere of Survivor: Exile Island last Thursday, it's time for the latest edition of the Survivor campfire mug. I'd like to say that with this purchase I had all 12 mugs, but CBS never did make one for the original series.

Second, it's time to pre-order the Lucas Family action figure set, a StarWarsShop.com exclusive. Collectible 3 3/4 inch versions of George's family as they appeared in Revenge of the Sith, the highest grossing movie of 2005.

And lastly, my waitlist reservation for Sideshow Collectibles', one of only 2,000, Vampire Drusilla, has just been converted to a firm order. Sadly, it's not the Sideshow Exclusive version, one of only 500, with special "dead bird" accessory, but it'll do, it'll do!!!

Failing all that, maybe I'll go get lucky at the gym! That'll be the day!

TiVo - Don't Hate Me Now!

Dear TiVo, don't do this to me! Not now!

Don't lure me in, become my best friend , change my life, and then just up and leave! I can't imagine my life without you! You've been there as long as I can remember (or so it seems).

We move to the new apartment, everything seems fine. But it's all a ploy to lull me into a false sense of security. Suddenly, one day, you up and stop working! You won't download! You won't connect! All calls failed!

I'm up until 3am trying to coax and caress you into performing. Is it me? Have I changed? What have I done? Don't you like our new roommate Vonage? Are the two of you having issues? What don't I know? What aren't you telling me? I even missed the gym to sort out your squabbling (the diet started Monday, starting weight 178.6 lbs - down some 15 lbs since Thanksgiving, yes, I'm wasting away!).

What more can I do? Someone please, please help!!!
