Cabin Fever

[billroper]

daisy_knotwise correctly observed that I was suffering from a bad case of cabin fever, having spent most of the last three weeks either at home or at work. So I went out shopping this afternoon.

First, I hit Sam's Club, where I bought cleaning supplies and the next larger size of Huggies for Katie. Then it was off to Gand, which was having a 17% off whatever fits in the bag sale, where I grabbed a new headphone amp and a variety of cables and things. Finally, I went to Abt and bought a new combo DVD/VCR to replace the evil VCR upstairs that stubbornly refuses to wake up and record Scrubs.

I decided to install the new machine downstairs and eventually got the wiring sorted out. There's only one problem: it won't eject a tape unless you hold the door open. So tomorrow it goes back to the store.

*sigh*

When we bought the new TV in December, we upgraded our cable service to get both HD and DVR capability. I like the DVR a lot. Granted, the version we have doesn't give us a portable copy, but the ease of use and the recording quality are very, very good. (And I understand that there are versions that allow you to burn a DVD.)

I actually have a DVD/DVR combo player already, but it will only record one program at a time. Since Scrubs is on opposite CSI, I had to fire up the VCR again and the rest has been less than satisfactory. :)
