The No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency by Alexander McCall Smith

April 25th, 2009 · 4 Comments


finished 04.24.09

Like I said earlier, I started watching the No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency on HBO when Jen said she was excited for it and that the books were good. I’ve enjoyed the show. I decided to pick up the first book in the series and I liked it too. The only thing is if you’re watching the show at the same time there are a lot of spoilers in the show. But I still enjoyed the book.

This year I’ve only been keeping a very limited number of the books that I read. I have my books area and I’m not expanding. So, I’ve been mailing books to people when I finish them (yay, media rate!). If anyone wants to read this book, let me know. I have to go to the post office next week anyway.

I have been watching The No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency on HBO and I have been reading the first book in the series, on Jen’s recommendation.

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.
