Its Dead Jim.

Well, I may, or may not have taped the latest episode of "Tripping the Rift". I now have no way of knowing, as BOTH my VCR's have gone crazy since the last time I looked at them on Monday. The older, more-expensive one just keeps counting in reverse and thinks its rewinding, even though its not. The other VCR refuses to do anything at all. It wont accept or spit out tapes (I had to physically take it apart to get its tape out) and it won't listen to its remote. If I had to guess I would say they were both hit by a power surge or something. I dunno.

At least the TV still works, but I can't find its remote, and I'd have to rewire everything to bypass the two VCR's and I can't get into that corner of the livingroom, because [livejournal.com profile] taxlady is storing what seems like half of her wardrobe there. So, for now it looks like we're TV-less.
