Oh No The Tivo

The Tivo died last night. DIED! It's just no longer responding. We've asked. We've begged. But, it just won't answer. It's frozen on the power up screen.

We missed Top Chef. We won't have a DVR all weekend. And it's a long weekend! And when we get it, it'll be a sad knockoff of a Tivo because DirecTV is stupid.

I'm not ashamed to admit that the Tivo has made me addicted to television. I admit it. You can bite me.

I. Need. Tivo.

Shaking. The thought of things not being recorded at my will is hurting me deeply.

    Not that it will assuage the pain from not having a dvr all weekend, but there wasn't a new Top Chef last night.

    p.s. What else will you really miss? Maybe I record some of it, but then you'd have to come over and bring...er, have coffee with me.

    No new Top Chef? Whew. That's a relief. Now that Tre's gone I think I only like Casey and that Freakishly Tall Chef With One Testicle. Plus, the highlight is Bourdain's blog on Bravo.com.

    I think we're cool on everything else because it all repeats 1000 times a week. No Reservations was really the biggest thing. Oh, and Gert and I record Arthur every day and watch it before school. She actually cried about that this morning. We had to do something else instead of cuddle and watch Arthur before the bus.

    Still, I'm having the DTs. I now know what it's like to be Lindsey Lohan. I need my DVR. The kids are staring at me like monkeys on crack.

    But if we had to, I'd bring the coffee. Nothing, and I mean nothing, beats VJ's Bleu Velvet or Haitian Bleu. Seriously. Best coffee in town, hands down. Try it once and fight me about it. Tell them I sent you and they'll talk to you for two hours and tell you the girls' real names.

    By the way Jane, aren't you an editor and, if so, do you freelance? You do know I co-own a freelance services company for textbook companies right? Or have I not mentioned that on the blog?
