[long string of expletives deleted]
As mentioned in the main journal, I had a lot of stuff due at school this week, so I spent most of yesterday and today hard at work on it. I had to wait until after tonight's class to watch my tape of the Top 12 performances, followed by the results show. Or so went the theory.
So I got my Quark homework done today, went to class, got home, rewound the tape in the VCR, got my scorecard ready, and settled back to watch last night's American Idol with great anticipation. Especially as I'd been invited to join a pool to predict the results for the season, contingent on my making my choices before I watched the results show.
And then, within the first few seconds of watching the tape, I discovered that last night's episode was two hours long, rather than the usual one hour. And since I don't have a TiVo, and my VCR does not automatically adjust itself every time the [expletives deleted] at Fox decide to change the schedule, this means that I got only the first hour of it.
I am pissed.
...and belatedly checking the TV schedule now, it seems that I'm also missing half of tonight's result show. Which is a lesser concern, but still.
This will probably be followed by a report on what I do get to see (after I calm down and watch what I have), but I almost wonder whether it'll be worth the bother.
