third time's a charm
Nothing is happening today, so I have absolutely nothing to blog about. How pathetic is that?I did go thru the new TV Guide & make note of all the season premieres that are scheduled to start soon. I'm not sure there are any brand new shows I'm excited about, but I am looking forward to the returns of NCIS, Law & Order: Criminal Intent, CSI, Will & Grace, House, Nip/Tuck, Arrested Development... The list goes on & on. Of course, the new television season also marks the portion of the year where it becomes imperative that I set the VCR before I go anywhere. God forbid I miss any first-run episodes of my favorite shows...it's not like they'll repeat or anything. :-P
And then I finally succeeded in getting the latest version of iTunes downloaded. For a while, I honestly thought this would be what sent me over the edge. First, I couldn't even get the page to come up; I'd forgotten that I often have to disable my McAfee Privacy Service & Firewalls to get certain websites to function properly. Then, I got it to work, but at the end of a nearly four hour download, my internet connection failed & everything was lost. (I'm still on dial-up over here in the boonies, so--unfortunately--that's a somewhat common occurrence. :-p)
That happened twice. But like the header says, third time's a charm. The third time, I got it started, set my watch, & walked away, not returning until the thing had been running for well over the required four hours. When I got back, it had actually finished downloading properly & without incident. Yay! And it only took me two days to upgrade to a slightly improved version of iTunes. Ha!
So that was my day, give or take. Now I'm curious to know what shows you're eagerly awaiting this season. Are you dying to know what happened to Christian once The Carver got hold of him? (Nip/Tuck) Or to find out where that hatch leads? (Lost) Or to see whether Faith ends up with The Gooch or that other guy? (Hope & Faith...sorry, Dean Cain's character's name escapes me at the moment.)
Let me know. I want to know who's as caught up in certain shows as I am...or what I might be missing. Oh, no, I may need another VCR!
