Sigh... Whose celestial cornflakes did I do what to now?
Horrific! There were innards spewing everywhere!
No, not tonight's episode.
That damned eight hour tape I keep bitching about? The one I've kept using despite its proven treachery because not using every single minute of a VHS tape goes against my nature and my current budget of bugger all? Unspooled and snarled around the internal workings of my only VCR.
It was like a bad remake of the final torture scenes of "Braveheart", really. Writ small, in magnetic mylar and out-dated video equipment, complete with agonized electronic squealing. The tape mostly came out again in one mangled piece, but....
Every single third season episode to date. Gone. Foom. Buh-bye.
As an extra added bonus the VCR is toast. It makes angry banging noises if I put any tape in now, recording or watching. Honestly, I don't blame it.
I did manage to see 3.07 twice before the evisceration, and took notes, but after the appalling anxiety-ridden week I've had, the culminating rancid crapfest that tomorrow will be, and the fact that with no functioning VCR I can't record anything or watch anything on VHS until I replace it some time in 2008 maybe...
I'm completely and utterly freaking done.
I'm sorry. G'nite everybody.
