Found thanks to this article, FeedReader is an application that “reads & displays Internet newsfeeds aka RSS feeds based on XML.” Looks interesting – try it out. And if you’re curious, my XML feed is right here.

I don’t normally watch the Today show in the morning, but I’ve caught it a few times recently. I can’t help but wonder every time I see Matt Lauer, “Dude?! What’s up with your hair?!?” Matt is normally pretty good looking – what’s up with the buzz hair? Is there something I’m missing out on here?

Speaking of Today, I just discovered that someone found my site using Google while searching for “christine michele morning show“. Hey, Michele! Do you think it’s a sign that we need our own show? Can you see it now? Interesting news, sarcastic wit and boobies, all the time! We’d knock that Katie Couric chick off the map!

I am so bummed. It seems that we don’t get The Other Half on our NBC station here in Houston, so I will miss the televised version of Halcyon’s hair being cut (*gasp!*) for the charity, Locks of Love. The photo album will just have to do for me. Bummer. If you watch it, let me know what I missed, mmm’k? Thanks!

I have a confession. You’re going to hate me now. I watched On the Line today … and liked it. Yes, an N’Sync movie. It was amusing. Maybe I’m just a big sap – but I don’t care. If I promise to give you my cute look will you still be my friend?

Wow. I can’t believe I admitted that. What can I do to make it up to you?

After reading TiVo, We Hardly Knew Ye – Sorry fans, but it’s destined for the ash heap of history, I couldn’t disagree more. Maybe I’m just a huge optimist, maybe I’m too much of a Tivotee … but when I hit the line, “a TiVo is difficult to set up and maintain” I knew the author was simply nuts. My best friend, who is among the biggest technophobes I know (ironic, huh?) set up her Tivo. On her own. So I *know* it’s not difficult to set up and maintain. Heck, it maintains itself! And as anyone else can vouch for, setting up a Season Pass for a show is zoom zoom fast. I set mine up for “The Weakest Link” (so I can see Ernie on the show) in under 1 minute. Click, click, set. Ha!

Some come on out of the woodwork, you other Tivotees. Let’s convince Mike to shell out the $265 for that Tivo – because I will be the first to say that Tivo rocks. It is not a glorified VCR. And once you use it, it’s hard to go back to TV without it.

Edited: Well, Mike was laid off today, so I guess it’s a good thing after all that his Tivo purchase didn’t go through yesterday. However, I still say Tivo rocks!
