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*

*squeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!*

I'm getting a DVR!!
OMG, I've wanted one for so long and I always thought it would be way too expensive because I would have to upgrade my cable service, in addition to the DVR service and equipment. My mom has sattelite and she hates it, so she just called and got this awesome deal with everything included for like $80. I couldn't stand it anymore. Now both my mom and my sister are going to have DVR and they barely even watch TV?? No way, not fair. So I finally called to see how much it would be. Only $10 more than what I pay now! I was sure that couldn't be right. I kept asking the girl "So, there's no other fees, or equipment charges or anything?" "No installation fee?" "No fee for the cable box?" "Are you sure?" She claims that there isn't anything else. That everything is included in the $10. I'm still suspicious. Heh.

But for right now? *giddy* I'm getting a DVR next Thursday! Wheeeeeeeeeeee!

*throws videotapes out the window* Oops. I shouldn't have done that. I still have a bunch of shows taped that I haven't seen yet. *giggle*
