I've hooked my DirecTV, DVD recorder and VCR up to a new switcher I bought today. The latter two used to be connected directly to the TV, but I only got a black and white picture from them. I was hoping to buy a simple "A/B" switch for coaxial cable, but I couldn't find any. After forgetting to do this the past few weeks, I bought some cookie dough.

I slept in a few hours today because of a nightmare I had around 4 a.m. I dreamed that I was seated at a desk in a classroom when I suddenly fainted. The teacher ran up to help me, but his face was distorted, causing me to scream. I woke up suddenly and worried for an hour or so about whether I screamed in real life.

Writer's Block: Small Economies

[Error: unknown template qotd]
I took some cost-cutting measures two months ago since I got laid off from my full-time job. (I still have a part-time job on the weekends.)

I've been buying more fresh ingredients for meals and fewer pre-packaged dinners. Also, I canceled my subscriptions to HBO, Cinemax and Showtime since the programs I watch on them won't air new episodes until sometime next year.
