12:00... 12:00... 12:00...

I am, generally, pretty techno-savvy. I may not be near the level of a Bj or Daniel, but I generally "get it" pretty quickly. One pice of technology that has never stumped me in the least is the VCR. You won't see my clock flashing, no sir!

Saturday morning, while waiting for Cher tickets to go on sale, I set up the VCR to tape 4 hour-long consecutive shows on The Travel Channel. Their "Revealed" series of shows was highlighting Disney's Animal Kingdom, SeaWorld (which I could have skipped, but it was in the middle of the 4-hour block), Secrets of Disney Imagineering, and the one I really, really wanted, Tokyo DisneySea. I programmed the VCR, put in a tape, hit the power, and went about my day. I found out yesterday that I had apparently set the VCR to tape from 4 to 7 — three hours, not four. I'm missing the DisneySea episode, which, according to the TV schedule, isn't being re-run anytime in the next 3 weeks. Grr.
