What is it with men and their gadgets? My bloke just got a DVD recorder and just keeps recording things. I thought the novelty would wear off after a week but it is apparently taking much longer. He’s been transferring all his old videos onto DVD. I was like, who on earth keeps old videos when they don’t even have a VCR? Apparently he does, but it’s broken.

The only good thing about this obsession is that he tapes stuff off cable for me and puts it on a DVD so I can watch it, which is bordering on adorable, I think. Not to gush, but it is quite cute, so the DVD recorder does benefit me as well as him.
