New Toy

I got a new toy for Christmas, the Canon PowerShot SD550. It is full of all kinds of awesomeness I haven't been using it nearly enough, but plan to start using it now that I have 2gb of space all ready for me to use up. I should probably also read into what all these little buttons and settings do...that would help.

I love TiVo

People have been ranting and raving about TiVo for years and it is one of the few gadgets that I have held out on getting as soon as it is released. I didn't want my life to be ruled by what was on T.V. The temptation to get one grew stronger and stronger over the years and I started hearing little whining noises from a certain individual. As a special wedding present, Nicole finally fulfilled our need and got us one. Perfect timing since we were out of the country for a month and a new season of shows was starting. After having TiVo for a few months, I am completely enamored. I was sooo wrong to think that having a TiVo would mean that my life was ruled by T.V. Instead, TiVo has freed me from that. Now I never had to think about taping something or what is on that night. I go and live my life, and when I am ready and free, I can sit down and watch all my favorite shows. I am also a big fan of rewinding touching moments and watching them over and over again and fast forwarding through the commercials. Awesome.

I love TiiiVooooo

Taking it all in

I had been falling behind in my movie watching and felt the need to catch up and just...consume. In the past two weeks I have seen the following movies:

• The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe
• King Kong
• Memoirs of a Geisha
• Fun with Dick and Jane
• Brokeback Mountain

And about ten other movies on DVD. A couple more in my queue of things to watch and I'll finally feel "caught up". Then it is on to catch up on my reading. I've already started and am almost finished with the two I have been working at.
