Due to a combination of factors (the re-design, new DVR, being busy, etc), I've lost my enthusiasm for this site. Although I still visit daily, I don't participate in the forums as frequently as I did and am not contributing as much. In general, I'm kind of over it, I guess.


With the new fall season here, I thought I would be stoked, but so far... Meh. I DVR a lot of shows but thanks to a cable snafu (read my earlier blogs), I lost a lot of shows I recorded. It's hard getting into a new show when you miss the first ep. I continue to DVR my favorite shows but don't watch them as quickly as before. Sometimes a week or two will have passed before I watch them.


What's wrong with me? Well, I have been kind of busy. I just don't have that much time. I might have a new job, I'll find out Friday. But in general, I've kind of broken my addiction to this site, which I guess may be a good thing in the long run. Anyone else feel this way?

Okay, I thought the redesign glitches would be fixed by now, but...

I'm still having a problem not being able to read any blog comments past the first page on my blog or anyone else's.

Is anyone else having this problem? If so, what do you do to read comments after the first page?

Anyone? Ideas?

For all those following the continuing drama of my cable, here's the latest chapter.

Well, I finally got the new box to work after calling the cable company. And yes, it's a brand new box, but a completely different model than the DVR I had before. This is one is a Motorolla while the one before was a Moxi. Well, rather than have a repairman come out, I was told it would be easier to go to the cable office and exchange the models myself since it would take a day or two longer to get a repairman. Well, I did and installed it myself, not that hard, but it didn't work. As a result, I missed "Survivor" last night. Apparently, thru some glitch, the cable company had me listed as a new install or something and they had to do something on their end. Whatever...

Anyway, it's finally working and I'm able to record again but...

I am completely unfamiliar with all the buttons, guides, etc. I'm sure in time I'll figure it out and I'll become a pro. I was quite proficient with my old Moxi box, which had way more features than this model. This model is actually similar to the plain cable box (minus DVR) I had 2 years ago so the guides look kind of familiar. I'm sure in time I'll be a pro, but for now, just learning the ropes all over again. Of course, I could just read the book, but where's the fun in that, LOL

K-Fed is da bomb! He makes me "Lose Control!" When I see him, I go "Chaotic"! Psych!! I'm playing with y'all. He's a no-talent hanger-on who's only famous because he married/knocked-up Britney Spears. He sucks as a rapper and even puts...

Jacob is one of my all time favorite soap stars. I absolutely loved him as "Lucky Spencer" on "General Hospital." I thought no one could replace Jonathan Jackson as "Lucky" but Jacob did an amazing job. I was devastated when he decided to leave...

radrobd must really love MovieTome and agree with every review we've ever written! What other reason could radrobd possibly have for not rating a single film?
