Lauren is clever.
We’re watching TV tonight, or rather, I’m aimlessly flipping through the channels desperate for some TV. Lauren comes to the rescue. “Let me show you how I handle this.” She reaches for the remote, and heads straight for what the Tivo has in the Now Playing listing. I tell her that I enjoy channel surfing for “the hunt of it all, and would rather use Now Playing as a last resort when I’m bored” She then smartly replies “See, thats the difference: Men are hunters, women are gathers. I have gathered the shows. Now we must watch them!”

The Now Playing is just the begining of the hunt. The hunt will become a hunt for what shows to record and when, taking into consideration overlapping shows and shows with re-runs. Then the hunt turns into a marathon as the Tivo, with a mind of its own, starts adding its own selections to your list and you have to watch the shows recorded to clear up space for the next shows.

Josh – I can totally relate – you want to make sure you aren’t missing out on anything that’s happening RIGHT NOW. There may be some big fish out there that you could catch. The Now Playing list has already been put in the boat – you can eat it any time. Ok I’m still a litel into my fish I caught last weekend. Mandy and I hae had eerily similar conversations. Maybe you should just rent some movies (about fish).

Lauren needs to post about something completely unpredictable, like the history of her gimpy left hand. Please?

The gimpy left hand is quite endearing – nothing to be ashamed of. Throw things at Lauren – yay!
