Sunday afternoon....

It is, once again, Sunday afternoon..on 10/10/10 interesting date....not alot going on this weekend..besides the fact i dont have to work saturdays anymore, at least through the winter..I was going to start raking today, but its windy and would be pointless....I'll probably start closer to the end of October when the winds leave and before snow comes...I walked to the post office yesterday, I got to break in a pair of hiking boots I found in my closet..I dont remember when I bought them, I bought them from jcpenney, thats all I know..judging by all the duston the box, theyve been there for several years...unopened...untouched..i had to pull the tissue paper out of the toes...I cant believe i would do such a thing..and they are a really good brand, wolverine..and very comfortable....I guess thats the point of hiking boots, to be comfortable...so I'm going to wear them through the winter when i dont feel like wearing my main winter boots. At least Ive got other choies now =) I ordered my Subwoofer and universal remote yesterday...I'm finally going to complete my home..er..room theater..I even bought my first bluray..well, actually the second bluray I've purchased, Avatar was the first, but it was a dvd/bluray combo so I dont consider it my first blueray. I bought Wall Street, in celebration of the new Wall Street: money never sleeps in theaters now =) my Star Trek persona is a ferengi, and as we all know, ferengis are eternally greedy, so I figured I'd better study up on greed etc...urc-r50 is the remote I bought, Ive heard lots of good things about it, including a very positive revies from a good friend of mine, so I'm goign to try it out...I'm tired of shuffling throught 7 remotes all the time....i'll let you all know how it works...I'm going to finish laundry today, and then just take it easy the rest of the day...until next time...

I finally got my bluray player hooked up and functional..after only 3 months of sitting int he cloet..hmmm...I didnt feel like running a network cable from one end of the house to the other to update the thing, so i made an update disc and did the firmware updates that way....I could then, watch Avatar in hd finally...=) i even joined netflix so I can rent all the blurays I can watch for like 10.99 a month..its a couple bucks a month extra for blurays..but oh well, its only money :P I am going to be ordering my subwoofer and killer universal remote this coming friday...finally..ive got my center channel speaker hooked up and it sounds amazing..I'll finally be able to complete my home theater...woo-hoo!
