My own lovely lady (once you listen to Rupert Holmes, you never go back) wants a Tivo for Xmas. Hey, what a great time to buy one, considering Target and Best Buy are selling them for an end price of 50 bucks (after a big-ass $150 rebate), with best Buy also throwing in a three-month subscription. I’m pondering it. And also pondering hooking it up so it records every instance of such holiday classics as It’s A Wonderful Life, A Christmas Story, and Saving Private Ryan. I figure with the way these movies are constantly re-run, I’ll have that Tivo loaded up in no time. Who could ever get sick of those three? Nothing quite says Christmas overkill like Messy Marvin, Donna Reed, and Tom Hanks. Ah, yes.
