ok, so the plan was supposed to be to have a few people over to watch the speedvision wrapup of the wrc rallye monte carlo. tivo was going to tape it on thursday night after i had already gotten on the road to n.j., and everyone was going to come over last night and watch. the problem was, i got home on monday night, and it wasn't there. it just didn't tape it. my thought is the wishlist search i use to tape all wrc rallies didn't work, because the program guide has a slightly different name for the show this season. i'll adjust it in time for sweden, and we'll see if i can't get it all sorted out. people still came over last night, and it actually wound up being bigger than i had initially thought... jen, casey, mara and the slf were all there; it went from a sausage party to a low-grade wingding! slf completely bailed me out by going and doing food/wine shopping during the day so we'd have enough snacky-treats... she went overboard, but in a very good way. the best part was that they brought me a little suprise birthday party cake! with b00bies! see for yourself: see all the pictures
