a high-tech, digital world.

The husband bought me a DVD recorder so that I can record tomorrow night’s Ghost Hunters live Halloween special! Six hours of TAPS goodness. oh yes. I actually considered taking Wednesday off work so that I could stay up and watch it, but…I’m a trooper, so I’ll settle for the recorded version. :)

Speaking of the DVD recorder, I haven’t even hooked it up to the TV yet, so I’m going to do that right after I post this! And I must test it, to make sure it works properly. I’ve never had a DVD recorder before, so hopefully it won’t be too difficult to figure out.

EDIT: I hooked up the DVD recorder all by myself and it works perfectly! I tested it, of course, at different recording speeds and what not…and I am good to go for tomorrow’s GH episode. :D

In other news…

I spent a couple hours today at the library after work. I have got to get caught up in one of my lit classes. I got a lot of reading done today, in the quiet and virtual solitude of the library. It was better than trying to read in my house, among a ringing phone and the temptation of TV/knitting/Internet. Must discipline myself.

In light of recent…life craziness?…I’ve been medicating. Buying stuff. I’m waiting for my first Lisa Souza yarn order to arrive. I ordered a Ghost Hunters hoodie. I ordered a new Socks that Rock colorway. And last, I ordered a ring from Kathryn Riechert on Etsy.

Retail therapy, all online. This is either really, really bad, or the best I can do right now to get through everything.

    Man, I did not realize that it goes from 10pm to 4am! That is craziness! I was all happy b/c I have tomorrow off… but I have to open on Wednesday – poo! Ah well, I will probably stay up and watch it anyway :eek:

    As long as you aren’t one of those ladies who go out and buy $30K worth of jewelry on a whim as therapy.. I think you’re okay. I mean, you are going through tough times. Just don’t spend so much that you go into even tougher times!

    Yeah, it goes from 9 PM – 3 AM here! :eek: I would totally stay up and watch it straight through because I am that addicted…but I decided not to take the day off, so it’s all good! Recording it is! :D

    I could never splurge on jewelry as retail therapy–more like 30K in yarn, haha! Well, not quite…but I have spent hundreds, possibly a thousand or something, over the past couple years, easily!

    oh, and I got your email…thanks…:oops:

    Got your email :) I watched half of it today, and I’ll have to finish the other half tomorrow–even when fast-forwarding through the commercials, it’s such a long episode!
