OK, that's weird. (And other random stuff.)

I've been researching DVRs and DVD recorders because it seems like my local BJ's has stopped carrying VHS tapes. Anyway, yesterday I was in the middle of my searching when my VCR started recording. I did not program the darned thing ahead of time to do this because I didn't think there was anything on worth taping. I stopped the recording and turned on the power so I could check out the programs. Sunday at 9 PM on Food Network was still correct but there was another weekly program for Saturday at 9 PM also on Food Network. Set to start next week. Makes no sense. And it's not some strange hold over from Feasting because I programmed that each Saturday individually. Oddly enough, though, there was an Iron Chef special on so I ended up taping it anyway. It was like my VCR was saying, 'TiVo? You don't need no stinkin' TiVo. I know you're obsessed with Alton Brown so I decided to tape that show for you so you wouldn't miss it even though you didn't know it existed.'

In other weirdness, I've dreamt of Snape two nights in a row. He was depressed in my backyard in one dream and in a talking deleted scene book in the second. Oh, and I dreamt I had a sword fight with Jason Isaacs and won. There was also some sort of strange mechanical plant attacking our house.
