Technology hostage..

Since it's just me and the crickets (seriously..there are at least a couple plus some harmonious tree frogs outside right now), I thought I'd jot an update while waiting on DirecTV to call back.

While I avoided any store technological today, hubby didn't. We got another TiVo DVR tonight for the bedroom. Its hard drive is actually twice as big as the one we have now (in the living room), so we decided to put our existing one in the BR and install this one in here. Well, we had tons of stuff recording, so we had to wait til midnight. No biggie. I'm a night owl.

Apparently, the DirecTV/TiVo techies are updating their server. They told Dillon it would be about an hour (that was almost 2 hrs ago!). I guess, when you gotta update something, doing so during non-peak hours is good, b/c you figure you won't have many customers needing to connect something. Unfortunately, we are in that minority tonight/today/whatever. He took our number and said they'd call back. No biggie...we'll just play xbox or something. We just called back and they are still updating and don't know how long it will be :-.

Here we are. Sure, we could go to bed and just get the blasted thing hooked up tomorrow but, unlike with exercise, we are TODAY kinda ppl when it comes to technology. ;-)

Oh, and for the record (and to keep up my boring menu offerings) tonight's feast contained:

Chicken jambalaya (pasta) and sweet tea (Dillon added chips and hot sauce (read: salsa) to his dinner). We had lemon cake for dessert.

I won't bore you with breakfast/lunch.

Til later,
