Techiess
(trying to mean a female techie)
I’m recording the Survivor on my brand new DVD+VCR combo. The DVD is the writing kind so I’m testing it out while there’s a “backup” copy running upstairs on our “old” VCR (which was making smush out of the picture until Dad noticed a S-VHS setting).
Very exciting!
I’m a heavy user when it comes to recording. Not a day goes by that I don’t record something. That is why I’m excited about the writing DVD. The tapes I have get worn out pretty quickly, but then again, the DVDs are said to go (only?) 1000 recordings (or re-recordings). Or, maybe the tapes got worn out because of my old and crappy VCR. Who knows.
A VCR and a separate DVD+harddrive combo could’ve been pretty cool too, but that may have been a teensy bit too harsh on my bank account, especially when I have to buy storage space for my piles of tapes and DVDs that got evacuated from the recorder’s shelf.

I can’t remember the last time I recorded anything - it’s been years. I guess there’s nothing I really want to watch except The Apprentice and I’m always home to see that.
I don’t think my dvd/vcr has a writable dvd thing in it - I bought it a while ago. I’ll have to check that out.

Oh my gosh, I’m uncontrollable when it comes to recording. Now they started rerunning Felicity on weekdays at 3:15 pm when I’m NEVER at home so I have to tape that, Ed is on on 4 pm, Scrubs at 6:30 pm on Mondays when I have culture semiotics at 6-8… the list goes on and on. And of course in the evening there are series (ER, Without a trace, Cold case…) that I don’t have time to watch because I’m online
And then Gilmore Girls on Sundays rigth during dinner time.
Yeah, I know. I watch way too much tv. But hey, I read books too. And wreck my brain at work and lectures (*cough*)
