Sometimes I forget how nice it is to talk to people. I mean people who don't care that they don't actually know you but, rather, recognize you can have a good conversation about more than ho-humness anyway.
Also, have you all heard of a thing called Tivo? It's basically a computer that you hook up to your TV and it receives your direct connect satellite channels... so whatever you're watching, it's recording. Basically, you're "downloading" the program and watching it instantaneously. So you can pause "live" TV, and rewind if you want, etc. You can also set it to record things every week, specific shows, etc... and THEN, the more you watch and set to record and "rate" with this one function, the Tivo "learns" what your tastes are and will record things for you and "recommend" them. So, if I watched/recorded old movies, it would start recording them for me, the random ones on at 3 a.m., etc. Seriously. How very big brotherish...
