Most of my 'happy' icons are cacti, which doesn't seem quite appropriate.

Jul. 1st, 2006 09:32 pmFor the first time in a year or two, I've just programmed my VCR.
I'd been enjoying the last disk of the BBC Bleak House on DVD, and completely forgotten that Saturday is Sharpe night on BBCAmerica. I don't feel like staying up for the 10pm showing, so I dusted off the VCR, with a certain amount of fumbling around, and programmed it.
When I originally bought this TV and VCR, back in early 1998, I wasn't expecting to be here more than two or three years. They still work fine -- or at least the TV does, and I hope the VCR does too -- but it's odd to realize that I've had them longer than I had the ones I bought in 1992 in Birmingham and sold in 1997 for a hundred pounds and a night's hospitality before I left London.
Speaking of the Bleak House DVDs, they included a trailer for Campion (the late 80's series with Peter Davison, based on the Margery Allingham novels.) Those are rather pricey, though, so I didn't immediately order them from Amazon, though I was tempted.
