joke's on me
I'm always so careful when setting the VCR, especially on Thursdays. I check and re-check the date and time on the recorder, and I check the tape to make sure there's enough room for my shows. And I always, always check to make sure the cable is set to the proper channel.
This Thursday, though, all my careful checking backfired.
I stared, horror growing in my stomach, as I pressed "play" and got only a black screen. I waited several seconds in the hope that, somehow, the empty blackness would give way to the "30 Rock" cold open ... to no avail.
So I didn't get to see my shows on Thursday, which means I'm going to have to watch them online. I would have done this right away Thursday evening, except I know NBC doesn't post them until after the West Coast airing. And then the weekend got away from me.
But tomorrow -- tomorrow I'll be heading straight to nbc.com and viewing first "The Office," then the craziness over at "30 Rock."
Because, hey, Thursday's on its way, and I want to be caught up.
