My Creative Mojo

I got a Tivo HD over the holidays. I don’t have an HD setup in my living room, but I liked the dual-tuner feature. There were times in the past where it would have been great to record two channels at the same time.

Yesterday I sat down and flipped through the “Now Playing” screen to find a long list of Daily Show episodes.

The episode from Monday night was listed twice. Not a rerun, not an episode recorded from two different times — my Tivo recorded the 11pm episode on both tuners. Maybe it wanted me to watch the episode twice??? Or it’s just trying to skew the ratings for Daily Show.

I scolded my Tivo for supporting Stewart, who is working while we are all out on strike. We both yelled at each other, the Tivo wanted to storm out, but couldn’t because it’s wired to the cable and TV. So I stormed out instead, slamming the door and nearly breaking the window. Later in the evening I returned, we both had a good cry and made up. I won’t go into graphic detail of what makeup sex is like with a Tivo, but I will say it was wonderful and hi-def.
