I cannot get my wireless to talk to the TIVO.

I had the same problem. Or the same symptom. It turned out the TIVO was making a DHCP request to my router, my router was replying with an IP address, but the TIVO claimed it didn't get it. I had to set the router and TIVO to use a static IP address for the TIVO.

sara should NOT look for a place to buy or a new job, nope and she shouldn't even consider a move to the barely climately different NYC area. Especially not the neighborhoody area I live. nope.

msbelle is right.

Completely unrelatedly, I'm here trying to distract myself from the pain by going through all my open browser tabs and doing something about them...when I notice that Perv Mart rates all of its stuff from Sensual through to Extreme. I'm glad I can still be surprised.

msbelle is adorkable. as is ita. And I'm really not allowed to move further north. I really hate winter that much and barely survive this version. And NYC kinda is too much for me with that involved (I used to say no huge cities. But then LA got me and was weirdly attractive.) I'd have to give up CARS. And aimless drives to the boonies not 30 minutes away that are the antithesis of NYC. But I do wish it were a twenty minute drive to visit.

ita, I'm wishing you no more pain, no matter how ridic that might be. You can keep the chosen pain, but the other needs to go.

grr, my tivo goes through the motions of connecting to the mothership via the phoneline, but it doesn't seem to actually be doing it.

I am going to bed in the hopes that my watchful eye it the cause of the failure.

I am not usually tech retarded, but I think I need some help with this thing.

I am having one of those - you can't do anything right in your life anymore - weeks. I am I am I am. Apparently I have also become an all about me whineybutt. sorry.

1) More than 50% of my neighborhood has cars. 2) The next express stop out neighborhood is even more car-y and has better parking and is right close to LI where there are still working farms and while not boonies - more boon-like if you know where to look. 3) I know you won't, but it's fun to pretimagine.

msbelle, you do a whole helluva lot right. Honestly. There are stumbling blocks. But you are amazing and I'm so very grateful to count you as friend. I hope that helps a little.

And we all have those times. We need our people to brace us for that.

eta: see above for proof! Sweetie.

OMG, I am exhausted. I just started to walk out of my kitchen with a burner lit, after using it to light a cigarette. Luckily, I left it on the clicky part, where you have to turn it to to light the gas, and the sound reminded me as I walked out. I got busted for my lighter at the airport, and apparently have no matches in the house at all. @@

Dude! You were my inspiration behind smuggling matches back from San Francisco! I'm so disappointed.

Turns out the thought of people causing other people consensual pain wasn't enough distraction. Not even learning about dilators and tuning forks (no dirty words at all) and how they're used to play did the job.

how they're used to play

I'm curious and afraid all at the same time.

And, I'm baking cookies to distract me from my job hunt.
