Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

What ita said, or was that Vortex?

:P

I think I need some radical acceptance practice myself. I'm currently of the "lie to myself" school of getting by, and it's wearing thin.

Good luck with man. Fay! You're a lovely woman to look at, and lovely one with the words.

I'm awful with the names of krav students. But I've found teaching something physical engages me completely differently from communicating or presenting something primarily verbal, so I need different tricks. And I make sure to explain to just about everyone I'm going to forget their names more often than I'll remember them for a week or two.

The way the classes are scheduled people come in and out of any one class, so there are people who remember that I taught them that I'd probably swear in court I'd never seen before. I'm the only one of me (okay, sometimes as many as three teach one class), and there are a gazillion of them.

I think you do need to lay out your medical condition to the prof in this instance. It sucks, but it's important.

It's unfair, and shouldn't be legally required, right? But that doesn't mean you shouldn't do it though. Appeal to his sympathetic style.

Thrive to spite them

I just discovered work is having a fund raising raffle and the prize is a HD Tivo. I know I'm going to be spending too much money on raffle tickets. I mean, I have a dvr and it's nice but! TIVO!

I look more rad than Lutheranism

What's the difference between a DVR and TIVO? I thought that they were the same thing, only TIVO is a brand name for a DVR.

Has no TIVO, no DVR, and can't be arsed to even set the VCR

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

TIVO is a brand name for a DVR

Yes, but your standard issue generic cable company DVR has very limited features and can only download TV. Tivo has access to other content (video podcasts, Amazon Unbox movies, etc), and has a much more powerful user interface.

Basically, but the way they work can be different. I preferred my DVR to the Tivo I have now. One example why is that I could do split screen with my DVR (i.e., look at the guide or programs I had saved) while watching a show. TiVo pauses your program goes to another screen. There's a lot more clicking through menus with the Tivo.

I have internet at the house! Yay! I'm so far behind!

And I've got to get our cable sorted out (No BBCAmerica) but I'm just happy to have this one connection.

In short, you can do more with a TiVo, but (in my opinion) it is more annoying/time-consuming to use. Except for the fact that my housemate has a gazillion GB of storage that allows us to record everything and the kitchen sink, I would go back to my DVR in a heartbeat.
