So I lept up from the seat, washed my hands, and went to the computer to check Sci-Fi’s schedule. Sure enough, there’s a showing of The Star Wars Fan Film Awards at midnight tonight, so I zipped to my TiVo to program it to record the showing, and I’m looking forward to watching it this weekend.

Technology is wonderful, but sometimes, there’s no substitute for paper.

Speaking of TV

We watched the season finales of both Smallville and Enterprise last night. At one point in one of the shows (I won’t say which one), I was afraid they were going to pull a Dallas by declaring the whole season to have been a dream, but fortunately, they didn’t. Both did follow the Dallas tradition of ending with a cliffhanger, though! Next season should be fun on both shows.

Jeffrey’s school doesn’t start until 9:30am on Wednesdays (giving the teachers a chance to work and plan together, I guess). So whenever I can, I work from home on Wednesday mornings and then walk with him to school — it gives us a little time together. But the school year is coming to an end soon, which will mean an end to those walks. *sigh*

And speaking of Wednesdays, tonight’s the season finale of Enterprise. We’re looking forward to it — we won’t watch it live, of course…that would require seeing the commercials…but we’ll probably start watching it by 8:15 or so. I’ve even set up the VCR to capture it as a backup — boy, it’s been a long time since I’ve had to program the VCR! Did I mention I like my TiVo?
