Our TV's dead

Just in time for Nick's farewell on Saturday (why we would need a TV for a farewell is a long story I don't want to get into here.)

We're borrowing one for the weekend, but we will have to get through the next week without our video valium (though the news has been acting in precisely the opposite way at the moment.)

Wish us luck!

I know what I want for Xmas...

One of these:



Available from here

Though maybe the book will do.

Second night without television

Candlelit dinner.

Lost an E-Bay auction (again).

Watched bit of new CGI Captain Scarlet.

Listed to Media Report which played bit of new Battlestar Galactica in story about how Bit-torrent and "hypercasting" are bypassing the networks. Ironic, because of how I "acquired" Captain Scarlet.

Played Balloon Cup with murasaki_1966. Won (barely)

Played Lord of the Rings - Sauron ate Frodo alive in Helm's Deep and Sam the Ringbearer decided she was tired anyway.

Found I had inadvertently pissed off kalenture. Sorry. Here's something you could use at work.

so... it's not like I'm consuming any less media



and it's not like I'm getting any writing done
