You know, I enjoy being in Sweet Charity, I really do. But this rehearsal schedule is downright exhausting. It will be nice to be able to come home from work and just hang out. I haven’t done that for-freaking-ever. Conveniently, Lost is in reruns for the next few weeks, so I won’t have to watch that on tape like a sucker.

Yes, I’m jealous of all you TiVoters. I just can’t manage to prioritize television enough to pay any more than I already do at the moment.

Danny would say (and these are fake quotes because he didn’t really say it in these exact words, though he’s expressed the sentiment), “TiVo actually makes you prioritize television less, because you can live your life by your own schedule instead of being a slave to Rupert Murdoch and his gang of programming zombies.”

He’s right, of course, especially about the zombies. But I still can’t make myself cough up the funds.

In Donatellla news (that’s my car), I still don’t know whether that tinny noise under the hood is going to be a $150 repair or a $700 repair. The guys at the shop did manage to track down the part they’ll need if replacing just that part turns out to be sufficient, so there’s still hope. If that doesn’t do the trick, then that’s $700 I’m certainly not spending on TiVo.

Besides, it adds an interesting element to the already-spooky Lost when I watch it on an old VHS that’s been taped over many times. Sometimes the picture gets wiggly and their voices sound scary like ghosts. It’s all about the total experience.
