Oh, how spoiled I've become

Last week, we got a fancy new TV and a new Tivo. Because of these changes, I am currently working with 3 different remotes. I just caught myself thinking, "I miss the one remote system."

Then I realized that just a few months ago, I was working off of a 19 inch screen and channel changing system that involved moving myself closer to the TV and using the nearest digit.

I don't know if I can ever go back.

Base TV habits

So, I still have some TV watcher guilt in me. I did not have a TV for a long time (really that was no cable but to me that = no TV). Then I fell. This year the DVR came into my life. It makes me so aware of my viewing habits. It records everything. You have to make decisions when there are too many competing shows. Today, I made one of those decisions.

My roommate called and asked me to check on American Idol. I am not a fan of the Idol. But, she is and so I pushed record. The "You're recording too many things" menu came up and I had to choose which show not to record...Gilmore Girls or NOVA.

NOVA had to go.

I'm so ashamed.
