priorities

Today I feel the need to publicly apologize to my dear friend, Wentworth Miller. As the rest of you undoubtedly know, last night was the winter premiere of Prison Break. Being the devout fan that I am (not to mention a personal friend of Wentworth's, see undoctored photo below), I naturally T-Vo'd it to avoid missing a moment of it. When I returned home from work at 8:00pm, it took every ounce of my patience to wait 2 whole minutes for the microwave to finish warming my leftovers before I raced to the TVo remote. I'm pretty sure Rhett was just as excited as I was to bond with Wentworth during another heartwarming episode of Prison Break, even though he became easily distracted by an editing project on his laptop, and felt the need to sort some laundry before starting our favorite show. But finally, the joyous moment arrived, and as I scrolled through my playlist, Prison Break was nowhere to be found. Surely this must be a cruel joke. But alas, it had not recorded. As I chaotically pushed buttons on the remote, trying to force it to produce Wentworth, Rhett gently snatched the remote from my hands and found a clever little TVo feature called the "Priority List." There, at the bottom, was Prison Break... listed at #17. It was scheduled to record, but had been trumped by reruns of Scrubs. My heart was broken.

And so, I am sorry Wentworth. It will never happen again.

For those of you who are fighting the tears, don't worry, this story has a happy ending. We promptly drove up to my parents' house and watched it on their TVo. They've got their priorities straight.
