ain’t we lucky we’ve got ’em

My son is hilarious.  My wife still breastfeeds, and when Baby Boy Cheese is doing his feeding, he will occasionally stop, look up at my wife, get a huge happy grin on his face and then go back to business.   I know exactly how he feels 😉

My Tivo thinks I’m a black man.  Now, I am not angered or upset by this, just a bit confused.  In case you are not aware of this wonderful device’s capabilities, it supposedly learns your tastes in television based upon the types of programming you watch and then makes recommendations to you based upon these tastes.  I navigated to the Recommendations menu this evening and found it filled with programs like The Parkers, Good Times, and The Steve Harvey Show.

I’m sure these shows are all wonderful in their own right, but why does Tivo think these shows are up my alley?

DYNOMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTEEEEEEEE. Because TiVo thinks you are a black man, I now think you are a black man.

Tivo does that to us a lot. Only we get a lot of Mexican shows in Spanish. I have no idea what that’s all about.

I saw how you rated Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. I rated it five stars, too! How is that one not more popular amongst the masses?

Re: I agree. It’s probably an annoying habit, but I’ve quoted it several times since then. Particularly some of Val Kilmer’s lines.

Hmmm. I hope everything’s okay.

Re: It was more for humor than anything, the cursing in that entry. It went along with my dirty mouth statement. While the gum has nothing to do with the language that comes out of my mouth, I have toned it down quite a bit since picking up the chewing gum addiction. Eeeenteresting. *strokes chin* Let’s also note how pleasantly surprised I was to hear from you. How is the kidlet?
