On Our DVR

April 3rd, 2009 · 14 Comments

We record the series (automatically records every time it’s on) for all of these. There are a lot, but some of these aren’t airing right now. They’re still in the list so that when the new season starts it will start recording automatically. We limit the number of times a show can record before deleting the oldest to 5 shows. I like having a lot recording because then when nothing is on you have a whole queue of shows to pick from.

  • The Simpsons (3 times/day plus the new ones on Sunday night)
  • Lost
  • American Idol
  • Scrubs
  • Heroes
  • How I Met Your Mother
  • The Office
  • Top Chef
  • Mad Men
  • Fringe
  • It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia
  • Magnum P.I.
  • Survivor
  • The Beast
  • Oprah Winfrey
  • 30 Rock
  • My Name is Earl
  • The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency
  • America’s Next Top Model
  • Flight of the Concords
  • Amazing Race
  • The Daily Show With Jon Stewart
  • Better Off Ted
  • Dhani Tackles the Globe
  • Eastbound & Down

Anything we should be watching that we’re not? There are a few shows we watch a lot that we don’t record. Not sure why.

The Best Valentines Day Gift Ever

February 10th, 2009 · 9 Comments

snuggieFor an early Valentines Day gift Dallas got me a Snuggie. It’s the best. As you can see, I can read a book (with the free book light that came with the Snuggie) and use the remote without my arms getting cold or being tucked under the blanket!

All joking aside, it really is very warm and cozy. Plus it’s fun to say Snuggie. I will ignore the blue fuzzies that are gathering on my clothes and furniture and how difficult it is to walk on the stairs and the fact that it smells slightly plastic-y. The Snuggie is awesome. It has occurred to me, though, that I’ve been wearing the Snuggie backwards a lot and then essentially I’m just wearing a robe. .. but where can you get a nice, oversized, fuzzy robe like this for only $14.99? And did I mention the free book light that was included?

This all came about from watching the “As Seen on TV commercials on the Sleuth Channel where we watch Magnum P.I. reruns all the time. And one night about a week ago I was downstairs in bed reading. It was freezing. I keep the heat down to save money. Instead of continuing to read I just bundled under the covers and rolled over to go to sleep, saying I was too cold. Dallas was all “You need the Snuggie to keep your arms warm.” Here I am now typing this while wearing the Snuggie.

1-2-3-4 Things I Like

July 29th, 2008 · 2 Comments

All of this is a bit old, but I’ve been meaning to post on it and just got the chance.

1. Feist changed the lyrics to her 1-2-3-4 song and was on Sesame Street teaching kids to count. I didn’t realize that famous musicians still made appearances on that show.

2. I wish my name was Emma and this was my birthday cake. (Thanks, Chris!)

3. Two covers I’m liking: Adele‘s cover of Make You Feel My Love and The Bird and The Bee‘s cover of How Deep is Your Love.

4. Last week I finished watching the whole first season of Mad Men. There was a marathon and I recorded the whole thing and then watched it little by little. I’m loving that show. The closing of Episode 4 featured the song “Manhattan” by Ella Fitzgerald. I downloaded this song and have been listening to it on my iPod. You listen to it on YouTube below.

Last night was the big mustache unveiling. We all met up at Chicago Ale House and Chad and Cousin had to show off their growth and grooming. Cousin was to grow “The Higgins” and Chad was to grow “The T.C.” Neither looked very much like the coasters we made the dare off of, but for some reason Cousin’s mustache was just more creepy and shocking. And it didn’t look like I thought it would. It was a pornstache, for sure. Chad did kind of have the creepy child molester look going on, though. In the end Cousin won the money. We tried to give him more money to try to grow out “The Magnum,” but I’m pretty sure both of these guys shaved last night as soon as they got home.

Helicopter Tour in Kauai

February 6th, 2007 · 4 Comments

2007_02_Mosley_selleck.jpgI’m thinking of things to do while I’m in Kauai.. I mean, when I’m not laying on the beach or at the pool or in the jacuzzi with a foofy vodka drink in my hand. I’ve been to Kauai twice so far and I think that this time I might want to take a helicopter tour, since I’ve never done it before. Usually when I want to do something I just ask Dallas what is the best place to go, since he grew up on Kauai, but most locals think that taking the helicopter ride is a good way to die, so he doesn’t know much about it. I know there are people who read this site who have been to Hawaii and even Kauai and have taken helicopter tours and have obviously come back alive, so tell me how your tour was, and more importantly, who it was with. I have a feeling most of the tours are the same, but I’d like to go with the helicopter company that makes you feel the least like you’re going to die.

And, oh how I wish that TC was giving tours! We have been watching Magnum PI like crazy ever since we discovered the Sleuth channel on Direct TV.
