This week has flown by....

I apologize for not posting regularly this week, I just realized it was thursday while I was wheeling the trash out to the street at 6 this morning...lets see...right now, Mom and dad are painting and fixing up moms home office, she decided to paintit "sea foam" it looks more like an off mint green to me. I got to dissassemble her computer and everything so they can move the desk today, I'm probably going to be painting the last wall when I get home tonight...oh joy...nah, I enjoy painting when they let me... I decided to take the plunge and I found screaming deals on a center channel speaker and a subwoofer on ebay...I got the center channel speaker ok, its an older kenwood, very heavy and solidly built, I got it for like 30 bucks..great deal, I also got the subwoofer yesterday...of course, only after it shipped did i find out I cant use it...I need a powered subwoofer with rca style connectors, not like I got, with spring loaded wire clamps...I am going to keep it for now cause I may be able to use it on my older receiver if I ever get the chance to need it...also, when I opened the box I found a white subwoofer insteadof a black one as he had listed...I'll look over the listing again, but I'm pretty sure he didnt mention it was actually white...No biggie tho... but I still need a subwoofer, I found one on newegg or a good price, and I found the needed cables on ebay for a good price, so I am goingto save up and get those in the near future, in the meantime, hopefully this weekend I'll at least got the center speaker and bluray player player setup, and I'll ad the subwoofer at a letr date...I also need a new remote for my receiver because the one I have half the buttons suddenly stopped working, I aimed it at my video camera and got no signal from around half of the buttons. In case you all are wondering, if you aim any remote at a video camera, you can see the transmitter in the end o the remote flashing...the naked eye cant see it but a video camera can... If any of you have a video camera and need to check a remote, now you know how...no flashing means dead button...or dead batteries :P I'm itching to play mario galaxy 2 again, I really havent had time... but I'm goign to make time...perhaps test my new center speaker by playing...who knows.... ALSO..speaking of my bluray player, I foud out...too late as always, that my TV cant do HD...I was under the mistaken impression it could do 720p through the component video inputs...only to open the user manual and find out its not true....So now I eed to save up fro a new TV...Ive got my eye on a 37" led lcd vizio that goes for around 600 bucks...by the time I have enough money together It'll no doubt be cheaper...(If anyone of you would like to donate to the "buy Rocky a new big lcd led tv charity fund" email me and i'll give you my email address and paypal account info :P ) Also #2, Larry, my best friend told me about this new universal remote he got from newegg, it goes for around 80 bucks, I think it would be a good investment, seeing as it never gets obsolete, you can hook it to a USB port and upgrade the firmware and download the latest code lists..something else to save up for... the Rocky tv charity fund is also taking donations for the new remote charity fund...;) ALSO #3...I come up for the "new every 2" program through verizon, I'm hoping to get the newest droid at a screaming price...sheesh...Ive got a lot of stuff to save up for...Ah Hell...jus send me all your money and we'll work ou the charuity details later =) until next time...
