Brief recap since my last real post got eaten.

Happy birthday leiza, four days late. (Sorry!)

Saturday was Death's birthday, and we celebrated with much chocolate, lunch, and went out to see Sin City. The latter I'd heard about, and it was pretty much what I expected. It was good, but if you have a weak stomach... don't go. (The fact that the credits say "Special Guest Director Quentin Tarantino" is a hint.)

I have a remote and a working DVD recorder now. Yay! I've started in on my Now and Again tapes, the poor 5+ year old videotapes recorded in SLP speed which must be preserved somehow. There may be commentary later as I have to rewatch the eps to record them commercial-free. :) I am mildly annoyed that the finalized DVDs won't play in all players (the Toshiba? Yes. Deb's DVD player? Yes. My computer? Yes. My Sony DVD player which does play DVD-Rs because I used it to test my iDVD projects? No) but it's still a heck of a lot better than the Philips. Yeah, I could wait until there were no compatibility issues with that sort of thing, but who knows when that will be.

Survived the midterm. Got an A. Yay for my tendency to be anal-retentive about these kind of things.

And off to look at more houses. Wish me luck.

If you've got the same kind of DVD-R I do, you can go in and edit out the commercials -- I've been just setting my Mission: Impossible tapes to run, then getting them pretty afterwards. (Chapter Editing and Playlists are our friends.)

But, you know, watching them may be the best way to be absolutely sure and all... ;)

Good luck with the house hunting - and YAY for working DVD-recorders

Hey, good luck with the houses. Also, go see Sahara!!!!! One of my co-workers asked me what it was about. It is about Matthew McConoghy being pretty in the desert... AND it has a good plot.

Good luck on the houses. An Yay for anal retentiveness. I've been losing my anal retentiveness lately, and I miss it. :)

Thank you, thank you. It's no biggie. I know you remembered me on my birthday. Right? Right?

*winks*

P.S. Good luck on the house-hunting! :)
