My Tivo is dead. This is the replacement Tivo that I got last month to replace the old dead Tivo. And since it's a replacement, it was only insured for 30 days, and I'm a little bit past the 30 days now. So now I'm on hold with the second level of customer assistance, who might take pity on me and send me a third Tivo for free.

I've been on hold for about half an hour. I put it on speaker phone now. They don't even had decent music. Just the same really bad big-band-ish song over and over.

Edit: still on hold. Have been on hold since about 8:30. It is now 9:14. At what point do I just give up?

So let me tell you about the medical adventues of Chez Neil today:

Good news: I had a root canal and the worst part was three hours in a damned uncomfortable chair. I now have a faint ache in that part of my jaw, but I'll probably be able to sleep without Lora and Perky.

Bad new: Hubby, on top of everything else, has shingles. It's currently manifesting on his left leg and, as he puts it, in the vicegrips around his testicles.

Shingles? The poor guy.

I give up on Tivo for tonight. This music is driving me nuts.

We had a good time with TCG's family tonight. The kids were super hyped up from having too much junk food all week while their family spoiled them, but they're such cute kids that it's impossible to be upset with them. Everyone fell asleep on the couches after we ate, so I wasn't the odd man out with the tiredness.

Ouch, shingles~ma. That sounds excruciating. Glad your root canal was the opposite, connie.

Couple of Emmett pictures from today.

Damn, that kid can rock a hat.

Bunnified JZ is still hot, but not stern

still better keep her away from Anya.

The bonus on the Scola picture is that in the background you can clearly see the bartender who we TOTALLY scandalized with our corsets, candy, and ambiguous sexuality.

ah, good times.

I just had to take a cab home because I missed the last bus. The good news: I am home Two Hours sooner than I would have been had I caught that bus. The bad news: I am out $55. Oh and the last bus? Leaves at 8:05 pm. I never realized just exactly how spoiled I got living in Chicago.

I'm no expert but maybe one of you is: does that corinthians tat look photoshopped?

anybody up? I've got a sleeping baby in one arm & a Treo in the other so I won't be going anywhere until DH shows up (no room for him to sleep at the hospital with us)

Good morning, Jess! I think (I hope) I said it somewhere before, but congratulations.
