Comments on: It’s Me and My DVR Against the World http://unapologeticallymundane.com/2009/08/13/its-me-and-my-dvr-against-the-world/ An NYC Blog About a Girl Who's Entirely Unembarrassed to be Fascinated by the Boring Tue, 22 May 2012 18:48:20 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Tracey http://unapologeticallymundane.com/2009/08/13/its-me-and-my-dvr-against-the-world/comment-page-1/#comment-80960 Tracey Sun, 30 Aug 2009 02:28:55 +0000 http://unapologeticallymundane.com/?p=457#comment-80960 DVRs are totally like the answering machine of our generation. I love listening to my mom talk about how she used to have to stay at home to wait by the phone for calls and how freeing answering machines were. And now we get to experience the same thing for TV! (Not that you couldn't do basically the same thing with a VCR, but the DVR is sooo much better.) DVRs are totally like the answering machine of our generation.

The three of us should set up a dinner date so you two can talk about Bilski all night and he can get it out of his system for a week or so. Oh, perfect!

Like a BlackBerry. I can't imagine life without my phone buzzing every time I have a new Gmail, though I used to think it was the biggest waste of money ever and hated the word <i>CrackBerry</i>. Okay, I still hate the word <i>CrackBerry</i>, but at least I get it now. I can't believe I hadn't thought to record "The Hills". Thanks.

I can’t believe I hadn’t thought to record “The Hills”. Thanks.

I will back Kamran in that fight everyday. And yes, DVRs are the shiz. There is no such thing as intellectual-property-law-related nonsense. I will back Kamran in that fight everyday.

We just got DVR a year ago and it literally changed my life. I don't like to admit I am a slave to technology, and generally I am not, but I honestly don't think I could go back to life pre-DVR. I now have the freedom to actually MAKE PLANS with people even though "The Hills" is on. But I still watch most shows live, because my life is just that sad. I can totally relate.

When I came home a few days after the switch to digital TV, he was sitting right in front of our set, watching the repeating instructional video that all of the channels were playing on what to do if you hadn't gotten a converter box. Creepy. A think he’s just a masochist.
