My new TiVo arrived today! I had a single-tuner 40 hour box before. Now I have an 80 hour Dual Tuner, which means I can finally watch something as I record something else . . . or I can record two things at once! Thank goodness, honestly. Hehe. Here's my old TiVo setup:
And new my new one:
Hooooray!

What's the best thing since sliced bread?
I am a television junkie, and so I can say, without any doubt, that to me, the greatest thing since sliced bread is TiVo. (I realize that I used a lot of commas, and many were probably incorrectly placed) TiVo has changed the way I watch television. Having the ability to transfer shows to my computer to save for another time or burn onto DVDs only adds to the amazingness of the machine.

It's 1:45am, and I'm pretty darned awake. That wouldn't seem like a bad thing except for that I am still in Vermillion at my dorm. I am here because Rocio didn't really want me there, even though she didn't quite come out and say it. So, I have to leave around 6:30am tomorrow to go, get my work clothes, change, then get to work for 8. That means waking up around 5 or 5:30. That means I have to sleep soon. Or not sleep at all. I don't know which is an option for me. I'd like to sleep some, but I'm so worried about waking up on time. If I don't sleep, I wonder how that's going to affect me tomorrow night and Sunday morning, since I have to wake up early that day too. Not as early as tomorrow.
Well, anyway, tonight was a lonely night. Rocio, Juan, and I were going to have pizza, so I decided to get Pizza Hut anyway. I sat here eating my dinner, watching television, and feeling VERY lonely. I talked to Rocio afterwards. I know that I'm not supposed to feel this way, but I miss her and still want her back. Luckily Andrew came online a bit later and we talked for a few hours. That helps me get over it because it distracts me and he always tells me stuff that helps me feel like I'll be okay.
I hooked my TiVo up to my room's other ethernet connection. That has made it a lot better I can put programs onto my computer from the TiVo, I can play songs from my computer over the TiVo. I can even schedule recordings from home! Niiiice.
Ooooh, I'm yawning, so I think I'm gonna try to sleep. good night!

HELLO! I've been on an up and down journey today. But I'm on an upswing at the moment, which isn't great since it's 1:00am. Here was my day.
- Woke up, got ready, went to class
- Came back, watched some television
- Rocio called, she had to go home because of her bad back
- I went home, as I was planning to, to pick up my stuff that was there
- Felt sad because I missed Rocio
- Came back
- Set everything up
- Got Subway
- Hung Out
Why did I go home? Well, first off, I got my DVD player sent from my dad. That was a plus. And also, my TiVo arrived in the mail today!!! So I was way too excited to leave it until Monday night when I get back from the long weekend. So I came home and set it all up, and have been messing with it since! :-) I have to get a few more wires to make my dvd player work, but for now I just switched some wires around so that I could watch Seinfeld on DVD while I fall asleep, whenever that may be. It looks good on my TV! I'm loving TiVo already. I knew I would. I've had a DVR for over a year, but it wasn't aTiVo! Hehehe.
Anyway, I have a meeting tomorrow for student teaching, to get everything set on up. Then, by the time that's done, my scheduled work time will be over, so I had to call out today for that. But I'll go home, relax, work Saturday and Sunday mornings, and then BBQ at Rocio's parents' house on Monday. Come back here, relax, and watch Dane Cook! on HBO. It'll all be good! I just hope I don't get too sad at the house. I miss Rocio a lot sometimes. Anyway, I should try to get some sleep.
Good night :-)

I'm here in my dorm room, hanging out, relaxing, watching Unwrapped on the Food Network, very relaxed, and I thought I'd post to my blog. I made the move, and so far it's going well. Rocio helped me move yesterday. We were able to move me in, set up, and go to a nice lunch at a local greasy spoon called the Cherry Street Grille. Then she left and I hung out here before I went exploring a bit. I stopped by and saw some of Ty Barnett's stand up routine downstairs. Yes, they got one of the Last Comic Standing guys to come and do a gig here! It was very funny. I'm glad I went. Then I came back up here, hung out online, then went to bed. I slept like a ROCK. I cannot believe how well I slept! It was dead silent, and I must have exhausted myself while I was moving yesterday. Hehe.
Today was a good day, too. I woke up, headed over to pick up my refund check, went to the bank, and then went and picked up my digital cable box. I'm spoiling myself by getting HBO and digital cable, as well as Tivo! So I got my box, hooked it up, ordered my Tivo box online, then I had to head back home to Sioux Falls. I left my cell phone charger and some other stuff there, so I went back. I got to check on Rocio, who stayed home sick today. I paid our cable bill, went to the bank again, then went home and got Rocio lunch. We ate, I hung out for an hour or so then I came back here. I've been hanging out here in Vermillion, headed to walmart a few times, got some Burger King for supper, watched Rudy on Starz, and now am getting set for bed.
Yes, that was a play by play of my day! And I'm happy that I did it. Anyway, classes start tomorrow. I'm excited and nervous at the same time. I get to see Dr. Duggan again, who is my favorite professor around here, so that's good. I'm also gonna check about getting a mini-fridge. Other than that, tomorrow'll be a quiet day. I'll probably buy some books, too. Since this is college.
Hehe. Boring entry, I know. I'm taking some pictures tomorrow, so I'll post them here.
More soon!
