And I finally got it to work! Like a fool, I forgot to try to hook it up before I went to the mall, um, oops. So I looked online and Radio Shack says they have a 4ft 75 Ohm coaxial cable for $2.99. SO I go back and do they? NOOOOOOO all they have is over priced "gold series". So I went to Sears and got one for the same price that's 6ft! (Why is white cable 30 cents less than black?) Then I hooked it up, and after various downloads of owner's manuals, I can record! Unfortunately I can't record something while wtaching another channel, or program multiple channels, but what they hey. I can tape the last six Buffy's EVAH and that's what counts.

Oh and when picking up the VCR (I blame thank hstencil) I went to Pat Pong. I tried a kielbasa vegetable spring roll. Part of me wishes it went even further with the Polish/Thai fusion, but whatever. I'm no curry fan, but the vegetable curry was nice and not too hot for WASPY me. And yum yum Pad Thai. God, I really want another platter from one of the Eastern European restaurants in the East Village. Stuffed cabbage! Pierogies! Sausages! Latkes! Mmmmmmm.

I am reading the Halliwell's Film Guide. It's funny! And a book about England. Glastonbury! Arthur! Robin Hood! Well, that's the first section.
