What is happening to me?

Last night I actually forgot to set the VCRs therefor missing "life as we know it," "Joey," "The O.C." and the second episode of "Point Pleasant." I got home and realized my mistake before missing "E.R." (phew)

But if you know me, you know this is a very unusual happening. And the worst part was, I didn't really even care. At least not that much. Okay, that's a lie. I do care. A lot.

I've decided my next "big" electronics purchase is going to be a DVR/DVD-R that doesn't require a subscription service (sorry, TiVo). Got any suggestions?
