Stargate and Boys

[erilyn]

I'm cursed. Some higher power is trying to prevent me from watching Stargate: Atlantis. On three occassions now, our timer has screwed up and we've missed the last twenty to thirty minutes of the episodes.

First time, I assumed I'd made a mistake. SGA starts at about 10:40pm here, so I was awake and started recording, then used one button timer record (you just keep pressing the record button for thirty minute increments). I thought I'd set it for 90 minutes, but figured I must have not done it right.

The next time it happened, using one button timer record again, I started to wonder if there was a problem with our vcr, cause I thought I'd been quite careful setting up the timer.

Then on Thursday, because I was going to be out at a party, I set up a proper timer, on the other video. I swear I set the timer from 10:38 to 11:55, but, yet again, we only got half the episode!

Once is chance, twice is coincidence, three times is a fucking curse! Luckily I have the eps on disc, so I can see the endings, but I'd prefer to watch them on tv.

Go vote for the Boys! bachelor_girl has a great summary of how they're doing on various countdowns and charts, and quick links to vote for them.

Yay for being back to normal speed, but my website is unavailable until it's today where it's hosted (we reached the bandwidth limit for April).

Mostly Jane, Aaron and Bob, but there are mentions and older clips of Nick. That family is fucked up (hardly breaking news, I know), its really quite sad.

AJ is going to be on Dr Phil on May 5th, show topic is addictions.

Isn't Stargate on channel seven? I swear they have some really weird liberal sense of timing. I've learnt that channel seven shows should always be taped 10 mins before the time they're meant to show and about 30 mins after the time that they're meant to end.

Seven can be very weird, but these weren't their fault for a change - each time, only about 30-40 minutes was taped.

Ooh, your vcr was the culprit then. Poor you.
