I'm trying to find out how to, if it's possible, expand the storage capacity of my Comcast Motorola DVR. It's supposed to store 60 hours regular, and 15 hours of HD video. (Today I noticed that the HD video doesn't always record correctly, I tried to record The Twilight Zone, two episodes in HD, but they were all garbeled, so I didn't get to see them.) This guy has apparently had some success, I haven't read it all yet, but I might be able to do some if it. I also read that someone hooked their iPod up to their Comcast DVR and suddenly it had more space, that would be perfect, though I bet I'd have to make sure it was formated in FAT32 instead of NTFS.

Even though I told myself not to start watching another series, other than Smallville, I can't help getting into the new series Lost it's pretty cool. I just watched the Pilot part 1, even though I think I've seen 3 or 4 of the first episodes, I like to keep things in chronological order in my head, so I'll watch it from the beginning.

It's been exactly a week since I've posted, cool. At any rate, the coolest thing I've been doing lately is using my slow cooker. My mom gave it to me years ago, it used to be my grandpa's, I think, and I've never used it, since I can't really cook. But Terry, Katie, and I were talking about pot roast at work and it seemed like such a good idea. After the bookstudy on the way home I picked up a pot roast for $10 at Fred Meyer, two yellow onions, some garlic cloves and I put some of them into my slow cooker with some water and salt. I had to drain most of the water out, it should only be an inch, where I had it almost completely submerged. To make a long story short I started it at 9:30 pm and then tested it in the morning at about 7:30 am, it was good. Then I came back for lunch and it was really good, so 12 hours or so seems to be my sweet spot. The only thing that I didn't like was the overpowering onion smell, the meat was still good though. So tonight I am slow cooking the other half of the pot roast without any onion at all, and only one garlic clove chopped in half, and lots of salt and pepper, and some Worchestershire sauce, however that's spelled. So I can't wait to wake up in the morning and test it. I also bought, along with the black pepper I used today, a Slow Cooker Recipe booklet in the checker line at Cost Cutter Foods, how serendipitous for it to be there.
