Oh, and like about half the online world, I also won a TiVo. Of course, I won't be able to use it until I move and have cable again, but so what. It's the principle that matters. You know, the principle of getting something for nothing (or at least minimal effort). You can read my lovely 249-word (just under the limit) piece of fiction here.

And Derek? I did a little dance too. I don't have any pets to scare, but it's nice to know I'm not alone.
