Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I hope things go satisfactorily, ita.

What is the problem?

It's slow as hell to do anything, you can't set a show to only record at a certain time (like, I want to tape one "How It's Made" a day, not four!), and it doesn't seem to have a good enough knowledge of what's new and what's a repeat. Stupid technology.

Edit: Oh, and! When you're in the guide and hit A, it doesn't go to 100 -- it goes to some stupid menu. Which trick you taught me, I think.

Excellent news, Theo!

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Jesse, I had to do a workaround for Daily Show that you might be able to use. Go into whatever manual record function you have and set it to record a specific channel at a specific time of day, not tied to whatever the listings show. Should work, though once in a while you get something you don't expect.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

There is an option to have it only tape a specific channel at a specific time. I can't remember exactly how to get to it, but I think it's List--> the c button--> click on the show, and it gives you a bunch of options (you should be able to do a similar thing when you set it to tape from the Guide-- it should give you something where you can tape it whenever it comes on, or tape it only at that time). There is an additional option to only keep one episode at a time, or to only tape on one day of the week. The slowness might be it downloading data. It should not be that slow. I don't have that big a problem with repeats/new shows.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

Woohoo, Theo!

Matilda is adorable.

Work is hectic, but when work is hectic here, the rest of the staff voluntarily ask if there's anything I can do and tell me I'm doing a wonderful job. It's such a strange thing.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

IT SMELLS LIKE DEAD POOPY THINGS DOWN HERE.

Is that better or worse than live poopy things?

So this is a different DVR? OK, never mind then. Because mine still jumps 100.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I taught Princess Tickybox to say "Munchkin of Darkness!" She said it to random strangers last night.

LOVE!

New pictures of Matilda, finally.

I forced my co-workers to look at my vacation pictures, and every one made Cute!Baby! noises at this picture of Matilda.
