A day that will live in infamy

Sigh... I guess all good things must come to an end at some point.

My free Tivo service is no more. I went to turn on my Tivo and it showed my account as disabled. DISABLED! I called the Tivo people and they said the account was not on the lifetime plan, but a monthly plan. What the FUCK? Really, that is more for the original owners of the Tivo and not for me.

How can someone pay the last three years for a Tivo they never even used? When I told the woman on the phone, she started laughing. Seriously, you have to be super loaded to not even notice that bill for three years. She said they just closed the account this month.

Anyway, I am now a slave to the Tivo society and just payed out for a year of Tivo service. Oh joy, yet another monthly bill to add to my tech ball and chain.

I'll have you know it's not bonbons, they are dorritos (thank you very much). And a simple call with my credit card and poof... isn't Tivo action.

Gawd, I love my spring break holidays. Just because I can, i think I will sleep till noon tomorrow. :)

Yawn.. I'm sorry. Did you say something? I'm just waking up and it's really hard to concentrate until I get my morning coffee. :)
