Tivo Tragedy

I love Tivo. Or its equivalent. I actually have the DirecTV DVR...but you get the idea. Tivo is every mother's best friend. Usually at 7 o'clock, I am running around trying to handle baths, find pajamas, brush teeth, and find lost pigs or giraffes (very crucial items for bedtime). At about 8:30, after things have settled down and I sit down for the night, few things make me happier than my shows. I love TV.

Likewise, I love movies. And the silver lining to Hurricane Ike is that DirecTV customers are receiving several movie channels free of charge. So I love to go through and record movies to watch while falling asleep or on those rare occasions when I have run out of recorded shows.

Last night I was especially excited to watch my recording of The Da Vinci Code. It wasn't my favorite movie, but I thought it could be an enjoyable re-watch. So last night, everyone is in bed, Matt is out of town, and I crawl into bed ready for a little me time and movie night.

Imagine my disappointment when I realized I had recorded The Da Vinci Coed. That's right. C-O-E-D. Use your imagination. Tom Hanks wasn't in this one.
