I got a Tivo. Also, I now have DirectTV (one of those lovely mini satelite dishes). I've been having fun getting it set up to record my favorite programs. It's kind of like programming my own personal network, and as Sarah can attest - it's a little eclectic. One of these days I'll share my top ten TV shows, according to this list. That'll be fun. It kind of forces you to choose priorities for each show, and the final list is a little surprising, even to me.

Books: The next chapter in line for work needs a lot of it. I'm twisting the plot a bit here and making drastic changes to the first draft. It's a little daunting.
