Saturday...

Things today:

1) Got up at 4AM and read a lot of the Influenza book. ::shudders::

2) Need to watch last night's episode of Crusoe. Yes, I haven't managed to watch Chuck or Bones in the last two weeks, but I did catch the premier of Crusoe. I hope this show catches on, because I think it would be a great gateway into fantasy....plus it's slightly steampunk with all his clever inventions.

3) I recorded it on a VCR, which I now realize won't be able to tape off the air anymore after Feb. It's analog. Drat. Must consider how to revamp VHS library.

Ack! VCRs after Feb. If a converter thingy is hooked up, will it work then? And it won't work even if you have cable and they say you don't need a new tv or a converter box if you have cable/satellite?

We have no cable or satelite (we don't watch enough TV to warrant it) so we've always gotten our channels off air.

Husband says we're going to have to break down and buy a DVR. They're not actually much more expensive than one of the digital converter boxes. We'll still be able to play our old VHS tapes, but not record anything new.

I'm simply surprised I didn't think of it until yesterday.
