Shrinking My Brain... With Any Number of Methods

When your TiVo starts telling you it can't record a program because it's out of room, you should:
1) watch a few things just to delete them
2) go through the List and get rid of things Jon set it to record
3) stop recording such crap
4) all of the above

OK, so it hasn't happened to me tonight, but I'm expecting it to any minute. I have these Wishlists set up on my TiVo. The keywords are: "Movies & 2007", "Movies & 2006", and "Movies & 2005". Geez... you'd think I like movies or something. Well, I used to. Nowadays, I don't like watching anything that takes longer than an hour. Just don't have the patience for it. I feel like I'm wasting time sitting here watching a movie. Well, unless the movie is stellar... like the few I've watched recently. OK, bottom line, I do like movies... I just think I won't when I'm preparing to sit down and watch one. And when I feel that way going into one, I tend to shy away from the long ones. Therefore, the movies (especially the long ones) pile up on me on TiVo. But I cannot resist the draw of periodically checking out the Wishlists (Movies 2007, 2006, and 2005). It's just so intriguing to know what new (or new-ish) movies are going to be on regular TV... or the mega package we have from DirecTV. (Who even knows how many channels we get??!! I bet it's in the thousands. Who can watch that much TV? So, see? I have to make it semi-worth my while by grabbing movies left and right to save myself the trip (and cash) at Blockbuster.)

Anyway, here's to not getting up at 3:30 am with an overwhelming urge to hug the toilet. And here's to not having to spend all day lying down so as not to re-experience the overwhelming urge to hug the toilet. From this blog to God's ears. Bulemia would SUCK if you're me. That's all I'm saying. Too much? Well, SORRY. You're just reading it. I had to LIVE it.
