DVR's, Weird Science, etc.

A few days ago I found out that the cable company now had DVR's. It's $10 more than what it is now for the box...and it's the kind that can record two things at a time, and I think it's got 50 hours of recording. I archive everything to VHS, so that's big enough. More than big enough actually. I need to call them tomorrow, because they said it would be a week out, and they send someone out to install it, because it's so "sensitive." Pretty dumb, since it's just a cable box with a hard drive. The lady said they also give 45 min classes and if you take it you can bring a box home with you. No thanks, I think I'll just wait a week.

I think I'm going to start taping Good Eats on Food Network. I taped two shows today and want to get more- better than buying the DVD's.

They have a new Joe Schmo starting June 15. Tuesday, same day it was on first season. We'll see if it compares to the first one. No way it could be better with the cast they had and Matt was the best guy for the show from what I can see. I'll be taping it like first season, so either way.

I have to call the insurance company about my window, see what I need to do about that, and see if there's a deductible with vandalism/theft. I'm not sure if there is or not. I'm not paying for it either way, so oh well.

I have to work at 7:30 in the morning again...I never cleaned up the glass in the parking lot. It was dark, and I didn't have a way over there today. I will try to push what I can out of the way tomorrow morning. It's nearly 3 AM, and I am tired, but I'm still not in bed. I was going thru yet another tape full of Hey Arnold episodes. I probably have 60 or 70 different stories (most episodes have two stories)...out of 100 plus a couple specials.

I also started taping Weird Science, the USA Network series from the mid 90's based on the movie. It airs on WAM!, the kids network. I think Encore/Starz runs it, but who knows. That show and some series called Riding High I started taping. I was going to tape the show Seriously Weird- from Australia, but I might not. It depends on if it's actually any good. I also have nearly all the episodes (15 I think?) of the Showtime series Chris Cross from the mid 90's as well.

I need a haircut. I guess I will be off now to lie down...need to sleep a bit.

Someone broke into your car? Did you leave anything visible? I always worry about someone breaking into my car in a parking lot. I try to park in a well lit area or close to the door. What's missing?

nothing is missing...just ripped off the plastic lining the outside of the area where the stereo is there and they took the faceplate off, but couldnt get the radio out or something, because nothing was gone.

i didnt have anything in the car as it was. slow thieves clearly!

at least they didn't cause any serious damage and i hope repairing the window will not be too expensive.

if they took the faceplate, won't you have to replace the entire radio now? i thought those detachable face radios were useless without the face.
