Spring Break = Too Much Telly

Write long-overdue papers? Nope.

Post here? Nope.

Get ahead on stuff at work? Nope.

Watch too much teevee? You betcha.

My cable company has DVRs (the poor man's TiVo) available. With dinner getting ready 2 minutes into the Sopranos season premiere, I decided that being tied to the broadcast schedule (even with many replays each week) was no longer tenable. Spoiled, aren't we?

So I went the next day to pick up the DVR. Now I'm hooked. It's not so much that I'm watching things I wouldn't watch otherwise...it's more that I don't have to either catch them live or juggle a limited amount of VHS space. The latest: "Producing Adults," a Finnish film from 2004. Granted, it was on Logo, with commercials, but even those are now less of a nuisance, being so easily skippable.

Part two: I'm finally online at home! Dragged out the old Airport (Apple's wireless modem hub) and got DSL. Now if I could just bring myself to actually read the last 3 weeks' worth of e-mails, I'd really be getting somewhere.

Anyway, that's where I've been, gentle reader. Oh, and finding a couple new people/sites worth your attention:

Drive Time, a very cool video blog,

and

Elizabeth, blogging as the
Libertine Wife.

Trust me, check them both out.

And I'll try to get back to all those posts promised a month ago. Yeah, I know. Promises, promises...
