Direct TV

My new Direct TV setup was installed today. Just in time to, the person who lived here before me finally canceled their cable.

I elected to get a Direct TV Tivo even though I already have one. I used my Tivo with a cable box once, and I vowed to never do that again. Changing channels was painful, and heaven forbid the little IR controllers got moved. The Direct Tivo also allows you to record two things at once, or record one thing and watch live TV at the same time. I love it. Words can't express how I feel.

I did have one scare. The channel guide was horrible, but then I found the place to switch it back to the Tivo style. Much better.

2003, A Year in Review

It's almost 2004 which means I should reflect on the last year a little. I can safely say that it was a great year for me. There were some dark spots this summer and early fall when I didn't have anything to do, but all and all this has probably been one of the best years of my life.

Some of the good:

I bought and sold my first motorcycle

I got a '69 VW Beetle, all though I don' have a title for it, it doesn't really run, it needs new windows, it's in Chicago and I don't know how I'm going to get it here. Still I have it.

I had a girlfriend.

And the biggest thing: I have a great new job in a whole new city, LA.

I have great hopes for 2004 as well. My new job should get even better, maybe a little more money. I should be able to get the Bug into LA sometime. I might even meets some people so I can go out.

So here's to 2003 and here comes 2004.
