NaturalBlog 1, DVR 0

I was worried when the NaturalBlog household got a digital video recorder with our schmancy new Comcastic cable hookup last month. My concern was that my newfound ability to record anything I wanted and watch it any time I wanted would move my TV viewing from about an hour or two a day to, say, 12 or 15 hours each day.

But a month into this bold new world I'm glad to say that I'm still at about two hours a day. But instead of watching the drivel that's actually on from noon to two, I'm instead able to watch all the stuff that's on past my bedtime. Sarah Silverman's show, for example, and The Office.

It may be too soon to declare a victory over my digital video recorder. I think the score is 1-0 now, but we'll have to see how baseball season goes.
