Lies and falsehoods, Padfoot!

Day 25: Luxury - If you've been on my journal for a while, you will not be surprised to learn that my answer to this is my DVR. I do not know how I ever lived without the ability to pause, rewind, and fast forward through commercials. Is there an Are You Afraid of the Dark marathon on at 2am? DVR. Start watching a TV show and then have to go somewhere? DVR. Friends invite you out for a birthday party on the same night as the Project Runway Finale? DVR. Two things you want to watch on at the same time? DVR. Miss a great play in the baseball game? Rewind the DVR. You can even set it remotely with your phone, if you remember something you want to watch is on. You can program it to record all the occurrings of a show, so you don't have set it every week. It's amazing. TV FOR DAYS.

Let us end this post with a line from How I Met Your Mother, which is about TiVo, but the meaning is the same. "Almighty TiVo, we thank you for all the gifts you have given us. The power to freeze live TV to go take a leak is nothing short of godlike. Let's not forget fast forwarding through commercials."

Day 18: Quote - I really struggled with this one, because I love quotes, and how could I pick just one? Finally, I decided to go back to the very first entry on my LJ, because I knew I had started it as a place to record quotes. The very first quote I wrote down was, "I love you. I also love Buster Keaton. But he's dead." This was said by my friend Hannah, and I'm thankful for it because it inspired me to start this journal. And here we all are, 11 years later. :D

Day 19: Clothing - I am most thankful for my sweaters. I have a bunch of button-up sweaters, in various colors (and I'm hoping to get more in the near future) and I wear one every day from September through May. They're light, but they keep me warm, they're easy to get on and off, and I like the multitude of colors.

Day 12: Gadget - Definitely laptops. The ability to be on a computer, wirelessly, anywhere, is amazing.

Day 13: Something Old - In the 5th or 6th grade, I went on a trip to The Great Escape with my BFF at the time, Amber, and her family. Her mother's boyfriend won all of us these stuffed mice, and I still have mine. His name is Binky, I've slept with him every night since I got him, and he's been all over the world with me. I am thankful both to have him, and that Andrew doesn't mind sharing the bed. :)
