Evil thy name is TiVo

Oh how I love you.

It’s been only four days and I’m already addicted and I’m not even a TV fanatic, just a fan. Oh, how wonderful it is to skip every stinkin’ commercial! (TiVo has a feature where when you’re fast-forwarding at warp speed and hit play, it backs up a bit so you don’t need to rewind to find the beginning of the show.) To never think about what’s on TV and when; I can pretend that I know nothing about the TV schedule and still manage to keep up with my favorite shows. And the very best thing – Ben doesn’t channel surf and drive me insane.

It’s evil I tell you. It promotes vegbrain and sofaspuditis and yet, you can pause it to hop up to go the bathroom or grab a drink of water or talk about something interesting (or boring).

Avoid it at all cost.

Tivo is THE greatest electronic invention of all time. I'd give up my cell phone and my internet connection before Tivo.
