Adventures with an unreliable narrator.

Mar 21 04: heartrending tragedy

The TWiVo broke! No, not the old one that was already broken. The new Time-Warner DVR unit that I spent Monday’s lunch-hour swapping the old broken one for. It died in a spectacular cascade of the sort of seizures that rendered the last one unusable. In the middle of watching the Stargate SG-1 season finale. The drive is now totally inaccessible. God knows when we’ll get a techie in to figure out what the hell is going on.

So…aaaiiieeeee! What do I do now? I don’t wanna wait until the June rebroadcast to find out if the world gets saved from certain destruction by the evil Goa’uld System Lord Anubis!

Yeah, yeah. I know. Of course it will. And this is a pathetic thing to be freaking out over. But I just need to know how the world gets saved from certain destruction by the evil Goa’uld System Lord Anubis. Hi, my name is Andy, and I’m a narrative junkie. I can’t help it.

Did anybody happen to tape it? Anybody?

Commentary

There is some sort of malevolent anti-TW energy entity living in your apartment. Perhaps you should make friends with it and begin your slow, triumphant and utterly evil rise to power.

That’s all well and good—actually, I like the idea a lot—but what about Anubis? What happened to the evil Goa’uld System Lord Anubis?

(I take it you didn’t record it yourself, G.)

Actually, it is the Tivo deity that is punishing you. This is what you get for forsaking the original.

Tivo lives!
