tivo, misunderstandings, and our four-legged ruler

Ever since TiVo’s December 17th giveaway of free TiVo sets, I have been obsessing about getting one. I didn’t go when they were giving it away, sure that it was going to be a mob and unsure if the fact that Seppo’s name was on the cable bill was going to be a problem. I never really thought about getting one before that, but I’ve been checking their web specials every day with hopes that the $49.99 refurb models are going to be on sale again. Heh. Ridiculous.

Even since my high school graduating class got a mailing list together to organize the ten year reunion, which took place last Thanksgiving weekend, I have been getting back in touch with many people. And it’s really nice. I had a conversation just today with a very nice person from school, and it was fantastic to catch up with her. The downer was that she had run into someone that she felt like was talking trash about me, and she felt like she would want to know if someone were spreading rumors about her, so she told me about it. After a series of inner debates about whether it was important for me to get in touch with the person in question, I decided, what the heck, I should find out what happened from the supposed maligner, to make sure that I’m not thinking ill of someone for something that was misinterpreted. It does seem like something was lost in the interaction, and the story-teller did not intend any harm, but was telling a story pertaining to himself, as to his own action in the matter, so I am glad I decided to get in touch with him. He is indeed as nice and decent a human being as I recall.

Mobi rules this household with an iron fist. Seppo and I shamelessly fawn over his every cute action. If I were a detached observer, I’d gag at our disgusting reactions. Hee.
