Hi. *waves*

It's been a crazy few weeks for me, hence why I haven't been around. I feel so out of the loop. I haven't checked blogs in weeks and I've only popped onto RTVW for a few minutes here and there. I have some major catching up to do!

Anyway, last week and this week was dedicated to moving our office. What a PITA. I think I blogged about this awhile ago, but for a refresher, we've moved out to the country into a tiny old house on like 7 acres of land. My boss is planning on building a new office on the land next year, so for now we've moved into this house that was already here. He did a lot of renovation to it to make it nicer. I hear it was pretty gross before. It will take some getting used to, for sure, but it's not as bad as I thought it was going to be. One of my main gripes about moving out here was the extra time it was going to take me to drive, but it's really only 5-10 minutes longer, so that is good. I was also worried about there not being any stores or restaurants around, but those are only about 5 minutes away, too. There are even a few things I like better about this place. We did some work to my desk/cubicle and made a larger work area for me and we took down most of the walls so that I wouldn't feel so closed in. And I have a window! Also, since this was a house, we have an actual kitchen. It doesn't have a stove or refrigerator (we have a mini-fridge) but it's nice to have an actual space to prepare lunches and a sink to wash dishes in and stuff. My boss bought us a small table to put in there so that we don't always have to eat at our desks.
So, yeah. It will take some time to get settled in and get everything unpacked and looking normal. There are still a bunch of boxes sitting around and who knows what is in them because my boss didn't label properly when he packed them up. *rolls eyes*

Oh, and the bestest part of this move? was of course the fact that I had thrown out my back right when we needed to start packing things! Yeeehaw! OMG, I was in such pain for like 2 weeks. It started out as just a mild annoying pain and then it got bad, fast. I missed a lot of work, but when I was here, I was packing even though I could barely move. I'm doing better now. I went to the doc and got a bunch o' pills. Anti-inflammatories, muscle relaxers and some Vicodin. It still hurts a little, but not so much that I can't function.

Anyway, that's about all that has been going on with me. I'm off to catch up with you guys now! It might take me a few days, but I will be visiting your blogs. *smooches*

Just what I needed... another addiction

I know you're all waiting with baited breath (is that the right expression? It looks weird) to hear how I'm loving my DVR. :)

Let me just say this... my addictions to fast food and alcohol now have company. *grin*

I've had the thing for less than a week and I've already used up 22% of my recording space. I went a little crazy at first, obviously. Who knew that The Soup was on like 100 times a week? Heh. I have a couple movies recorded that I haven't had time to watch yet. I just don't have time for all this tv! In addition to all my DVRings, I've also been renting a lot of television shows from Netflix. This weekend I will be watching some Flight of the Conchords and some Dexter, as well as trying to watch all the shows from the week that I recorded.

Not that I'm complaining. I luuuuuuuuuuurve tv, so having too much is better than having nothing. :)

The only thing I am a little disappointed in is the fact that I can only record 2 shows at once. Some nights (Mondays, especially) I have 3 or 4 (or 5, now that they've moved Intervention to Monday nights. Grrrr.) things on at the same time that I want to see. I just either have to tape them on the VCR in my bedroom or watch them online.

Other than that, I'm very pleased. I look forward to going home and watching a new recording every night. It's the highlight of my day, sadly. I think I'm a bit too anal though, because I don't like having 22% of my space used up. I want to delete it all and start fresh. It bothers me to have things using up my space. But on the other hand, I don't want to delete something that I might want to watch again in a few weeks. Yes, I am too anal. Heh.

Oh! And. Since I had to upgrade my cable in order to get the DVR, I now have the Fox Reality Channel! I haven't watched anything on it yet, but I hear that they're supposed to be starting up a new season of Paradise Hotel. A whole channel dedicated to reality tv. It doesn't get much better than that. *grin*
