Tivo Surprise

[susandennis]

Tivo recorded a new program for me from BBC America - The Life Laundry. A team of one perky American woman and a non-descript Brit guy go around England and find messy homes. They clean out the shit and then redecorate a bit. They show all the stuff and how they got rid of it. It's very nice to see people with more clutter than me.

And now I finally know what a boot sale is! aellia's always talking about boot sales and I had kind of pieced together the concept from the context. But, now I know for sure.

Here in the west (and most of the rest of the country) we call it a yard sale. In the northeast, it's a tag sale.

But really it's more of a rummage sale - everyone brings their stuff to one place and sells it. In California there were a couple of old outdoor drive in movie theaters that turned into giant rummage sales on weekends. Great fun.
