Tara called me a nerd — and I am — but I’m not the one with dozens of hand-written organization helper DVR recording strategy charts now am I? No, no I’m not.
She’s got a tongue like an electric eel, and she likes the taste of a man’s tonsils!

LOOK. The process of setting up my recordings each day takes five to ten minutes. And we have two DVRs. So rather than spending an additional five to ten minutes repeating the process on two DVRs, I just do it once, and then take my cheat notes into the next room so that I can have my shows recorded in both locations and watch them in whichever room I choose. OKAY? Someone in the household has to be the DVR curator and I accept the mantle gladly and with only a modicum of OCD.
Nothing to hide, remember?
The TiVo creature is sobbing quietly, its antenna bouncing up in down with unfathomable grief.
I use Excel to make mine…
I color code mine - green for bedroom DVR, red for living room DVR.
Weren’t those notebooks used in the opening credits for Se7en?
Hey, those cheat sheets are very helpful if anyone else has to set Tara’s DVR and try not to miss anything she wants to see.
Best housesitter ever!
You had Linda set your many, many recordings for you?! Before it was cute, now I think you may be even crazier than me.
Not all of them! Just the crucial ones! Linda, back me up, it was usually just one or two a day, right?
My impression is that I was working off a special sub-list of just the most important ones. I also was not required to do BOTH DVRs, just one. It was usually just a couple of things a day; it’s not like I had to go get The Daily Show every day or whatever.
All in all, it was very reasonable and mostly involved stuff I would have been watching/recording anyway.
The Paper!
Goodness. This makes me feel a lot better about the three pages of carefully typed instructions I prepared for the friend who took care of Sam while I was having Will. A LOT better.
