Hi all. Hope you guys had a nice weekend. Mine was largely quite nice. I left work early on Friday and worked on my mom's cousin's shower with her. Saturday was more of the same in the morning … rushing around like crazy, followed by the shower itself which went off pretty well, in my opinion. We got the famous berry chantilly cake from Whole Foods again and it was loved by all. Mostly, though it was just nice to see everyone. We have a lot of extended family in the area and even so, it's rare that we all get together. So it was great to see everyone.
That evening I was more tired than I can remember being since first trimester. I think two days of rushing around and being on my feet really took it out of me. I was in bed by 9 (after lying around all evening) and didn't get up the next morning until 9. Sooo lazy. Since I hadn't seen Matty all weekend, practically, we spent the whole day together.
Unfortunately, a lot of time was spent dealing with loopholes, bureaucracy and incompetence at Tivo headquarters since we discovered on Fri night that my Tivo while still functioning in most ways, could no longer receive the cable box's signal … and therefore couldn't record anything. I won't bore you with the details, but I'm still Tivoless and unless I pony up around $200, I'm going to remain Tivoless for a while. I have to decide about that … it's been one of those months where everything that could possibly cost us $$ has come up and so we may limp along with our crummy Comcast DVR for a while until I feel like I can part with the cash.
Glad most of the weekend was good! Glad you are getting to rest also. Wait I am confused if you don't mind my asking why do you have to pay more to Tivo even though they messed up? Darn it.
The box itself, which I own, is the bit that's broken. Then there's all this complicated crap with the monthly fee vs. lifetime license (which I have on the box) and it just gets very nit-picky and screwy (as in screwing me).
The Tivo thing sounds like a pain. Isn't it always the way that everythign decides to break or cost you money just when you really can't spare any?
The cake sounds intriguing. What exactly is it?
We were barely looking in getting Tivo (we had DVR in our last home) . Anyway, Rodrigo did something to the computer. Sorry, I don't know how to explain. I know it's called MythTV and it makes the computer work just like Tivo. We record on here now and can burn dvd's. Again, sorry I don't know how to explain it. All I know is that he loves it because it has something to do with Linux and is supposed to be really reliable. Computer dorks like him like it and recommended it.
