- Apparently, I am in need of a tailor. My usual tailor and dry cleaner has not been too good to me, lately. Needless to say, I have a sweater that is in dire need of some repair. Any suggestions for a good tailor? Preferably, South Baltimore. I will travel in the city, however.
- Lately, Facebook has been the place where friends I have not seen in some time from childhood—middle school and high school—have found me. I am not complaining, but it has been both fun and scary. Makes you think how much some people have grown up.
- Work has been insanely busy this week. More on that later.
- Next week, I plan to take a personal day off to run my mother around for her errands. For both of our interests, and probably my partial sanity, I need to get moving on getting her out of my house and into one of her own.
- Again, I have to wonder how I ever lived before getting a DVR. It has made my entertainment so much easier. Even moreso, with my mother around disrupting my television routine, it has been a godsend. If you watch any television, get a DVR just to make your life easier.
- Speaking of television, it is time for me to upgrade my viewing experience. I have only done some cursory reviews of flat-panel televisions, but it is high time I started doing some research. I think my lone splurge is going to be on a new television, mainly to allow me to really reconfigure my living room. Recommendations and advice are very welcome.
- I still am enjoying this season of 24. I know last week’s episode was one of those bridge episodes, so next week’s should be awesome. Even better, though, Agent Renee Walker is hot. And, in the last episode, they brought Secret Service Agent Aaron Pierce back! Awesome!
- I really like my Storm.

I was an early adopter of TiVo and it was the biggest thing I missed when I moved overseas for a while. So I heartily agree everyone needs a DVR so they can watch TV programming when the want not at some arbitrary time a programmer decides it should air.
I was also an early adopter of TiVo. The biggest thing I felt was that it made me more efficient. I could watch 3 hours of TV in 2, leaving me time for other things.
Renee Walker’s OK, but I was kind of bummed they killed of Samantha Ross.
Here’s something I ran across today about flat screens over fireplaces, in case you were tempted:

heh heh…. you love your Blackberry. ADDICT!
@midwestie: I don’t have a fireplace, so I should be good on that front. The idea to minimize cable clutter is pretty key, though. I will need to figure out a way to do that.
@Charissa: I think it is fair to call me an addict. Storm=AWESOME
You can probably fix your sweater yourself — if it’s a really big hole that requires re-weaving, that’s expensive…but there’s a place that I used to go to on Eastern Avenue – they’re in the 2000 block. I don’t know if they’re still open, though, since it’s been a while. They did an excellent job. Baltimore Weavers….Weaving…something like that.
