Ah, Christmas.  Specials, that is.

This is funny, and not in the least because we were just talking about this the other night.  We had Rudolph on (you know you’re pregnant when you can’t stop crying for the poor misfit toys) and afterward we got to talking about how different it is now that you can just pop a tape in.  No waiting impatiently for the day it’s on, and no freaking out that we might miss something.  Now if you miss it, you just skip back.

Sometimes it feels like we’re raising this kid in an entirely separate universe from the one we grew up in. 

By the way, I have no idea why the site is so nightmarishly slow today.  It’s on our list of things-to-try-to-figure-out, since it’s been dragging since the upgrade.  Hopefully one of us will get a chance soon…

1. (you know you’re pregnant when you can’t stop crying for the poor misfit toys)

   Oh my god! I’m pregnant? 

   I know what you mean about just popping it in the DVD player. When I was a kid, I never even conceived of something like a VCR. If you missed a show, that was it, unless you caught it during repeats. Your favourite movie finally showing up on network TV was a huge deal.

2. LOL!  I’m usually just fine through that sort of thing...for me crying at a TV show is an only-when-knocked-up sort of thing.  Heh.

3. that’s great except when your favorite isn’t available.  Then you have to pray you don’t miss it the ONE FRIGGING time it’s on AGAIN this year and finally tape it.

   BTW I refer to the “Night Before Christmas”, the one about the mouse and the clock.....
