Lots of fun things going on!
We got Tivo and set it up this weekend. Yay!!! One small snag.
It's broken.
The audio stutters when we watch live TV, when we record anything - pretty much when we do anything. It sucks.
Not to mention, the only thing it doesn't seem to record is the only show I really want to record right now. At about 3:00 AM, the old 80s Dungeons & Dragons cartoon is played on one of the high number channels (100 something) and when Tivo records it, all I get is a half hour full of black nothingness. As Nitchean as that is and all, I want my cartoon dagnabit.
Also, here's the update on my car. After getting a parking ticket for it due to street sweeping bullshit, I took it in to get it smogged. Just to remind you, the hope was that it would fail smog and I'd be able to surrender it to the state. Well, no dice. No, it didn't pass. It was leaking coolant so badly that they couldn't smog it for safety reasons. They told me I have to get the cracked pipe welded back together before they can smog it.
When I called the garage to see if they could weld the pipe back together, they told me that they can't weld a pipe that's as badly rusted as mine is. It will punch a hole right through the pipe if they try. So, I'd have to replace the whole pipe. That means, I'm back at the beginning of the whole problem where it's too expensive to fix the pipe so I was hoping to just surrender it to the state pending a failed Smog Test. Yay! I've come full circle!!
And to cap off to the bummerathon, Amanda, is out of town on business for the next few days in Phoenix, AZ.

Just sell the car to a gas station for 50 bucks, and then they'll do the bare minimum to rehab it and resell it to some other poor sucker and it'll be that sucker's problem, and when you stumble upon the car a year later you can leave a note on it telling the new owner of your tales of woe (i.e., just like I did with the Magic Pulsar). You get $50, and the enjoyment of randomly finding it on a street corner. All upside, son.
Yeah, that's a beautiful story.
