The box of good intentions

October 12th, 2007 · Posted by Skuds in Technology · No Comments · Technology

I seem to have accumulated 28 hours of stuff on my V+ digital recorder already.

I have taken to recording programmes I want to watch so that if I am out or forget to turn the TV on I won't miss them.  I have been making sure to view them within a day or two and then delete them. What remains is mostly films which I ought to watch but which I suspect I will never get around to.

The result is that the V+ box has become the box of good intentions.

Flims waiting to be watched include If…. ,  Manon des Sources, Jean de Florette, A Clockwork Orange, Le Diner de Cons,  Farenheit 9/11, Bend it like Beckham, Dumplings, K-Pax and About A Boy – plus The Player and Kingpin which I have seen before.

There is also the TV play The Dinner Party, Longford, and a documentary about a Finnish media company.  There are only a few things I have kept after watching – a BBC Sessions with Paul Simon, David Gilmour Live and an edition of Later with Jools Holland which has Bjork and Paul McCartney on it.

I am looking forward to Christmas for a change.  With a week off work and nothing on the TV it will be the only chance I get to catch up on all those films unless I manage to to get laid up in bed for a week with some debilitating disease.
