bah! the gremlins have now entered my brain.

first, some background. every morning, as I eat my breakfast and procrastinate getting ready, I watch the today show on nbc. I even TiVo it because I don’t want to miss anything important going on in the world.

so the other day, while watching it, I saw this (note the time on the bose on top of the tv and the clock in the right bottom corner of the tv):

strange that katie and john leguizamo both have their eyes closed at that moment. must have been the flash.

anyway, the first thing I did was check my watch to make sure my bose clock was right. it was. so then I thought, “hmm…nbc’s clock is behind 20 minutes. weird.” kntv also took a station break at a non-half hour time.

just like scooby doo and the gang, I had to get to the bottom of this mystery. I took this picture so I could show the man and ask him to find out what was up with kntv. he has friends who work there, you see.

so when I sent him the photo, he asked if I was sure my bose clock was right, to double-check that the snafu was real before asking his friend at the station. I assured him that it was, thinking “what, does he think I’m a moron?”

last night I showed him the TiVo reording to prove my point. when I started the recording, it started at 7 am, and nbc’s clock said 7 am. we forwarded 15 minutes, and nbc’s clock said 7:15. this went on throughout the show. TiVo’s time, and nbc’s time were synched.

at almost the same time, matte and I solved the “mystery.” apparently, I had paused the TiVo recording that morning, or rewound it or something, so what was on the tv was behind 20 minutes.

who’s the box of hair now?
