The shelves and the cable box

weaktwosSo, the Tivo Series 3 is cooking with gas, despite the forboding comments by the cable installer. Let us hope the good fortune there persists.
The other cable box in my bedroom, however, is hobbled. I thought it was my tivo. Turns out it is due to my cable box not being registered properly. It died two days after the install. I called Comcast tonight and the tech noticed, "uh, I see you are being charged for a cable box, but we don't have the serial number in the system. Your cable box isn't going to work."
So, she tried to get the s/n entered into their mystical comcastical system, but it wouldn't take. A technician is coming out on Saturday to swap the box.
In other news, I hit home depot and acquired some new shelf pegs that look quite sturdy and a new drill bit that would drill holes for the pegs. I drilled new holes for the shelves and my entertainment dvd storage is back in business. There was much rejoicing. Furthermore, I'm THRILLED I didn't drill through the boards entirely, as that was my fear. I don't trust myself with drills. No sir! Not one bit. (pun intended)
Starz is showing Life Aquatic. I haven't seen that. On the tivo it goes for me to watch later!
In closing, today was a fantastic day, aside from the fact that I had to surrender my life of leisure and rejoin the land of the working again.
Tomorrow is a brand new day.
