Well, I took care of:

-the laundry
-the LAWN
-weeds
-kitchen
-taxes--getting mad money back!
-and some sundry goofing off

I must thank scarcrest for informing me about [Bad username or site: The Sandman @ livejournal.com]. I looked at a copy at Borders today and was instantly drawn into it. Since Uncle Sam is coming my way with monetary gifts, I think I'll buy the set.

Now, to bed.

It was the Sandman series. I read half of book one yesterday in the bookstore while having a spot of tea.

Ah, yes. I wasn't sure whether it was that one or Sports Night -- I knew we'd talked about Sandman, but I'd gushed over the TV show so much since I bought it on DVD that I wasn't sure.

Neil Gaiman is a brilliant writer. If you like that, then you should get his novel American Gods.

Yes, I haven't yet gotten on the Sports Night wagon. I just haven't had a chance. Perhaps I'll take a peak at it if Netflix has it available for rent.

I think it's still running at 2:30 a.m. CST (3:30 a.m. EST) on Comedy Central. You could program the VCR to tape it a few nights, and see what you think.

VCR? We don't need no stinkin' VCR.

Monkey has TiVO.

I know there's a way to hook my tivo up to the vcr...I just am one cable shy of making that happen.

Ah, TiVO. I've thought about ordering that in the past, but I'm already spending too much money every month. It should be able to record it for you, then.

There may be bits that remind you of West Wing. Aaron Sorkin has recycled some of the best bits there -- Will Bailey's rain prediction being the most recent one I spotted (done by the same actor on Sports Night, where he played Jeremy). The window breaking from a few weeks ago is another.

Yes, it is a one-time large expense.(prob about $500 total), or around $200 plus a montly $13 fee).

It's very addicting. But I like being able to record any show I want, and whiz through whatever parts I want to. It's very convenient.
