Today we were sitting on the balcony because Z was eating herring in spicy tomato sauce. He says they taste great, but the smell is icky. I noticed somebody in a nice Mercedes drive by very slowly. The guy was looking at a piece of paper. I thought one of our ritzier neighbors was having guests over. Instead the guy gets out with one of those pizzer-keeper-warmers. The pizza guy drives a Mercedes. I was thinking that maybe I should be in another line of work, when Z mentioned that the guy might have been a tech who had been laid off. We've had a lot of layoffs here in Dallas, and not just in the IT field. So the guy still has his fancy car, but has to deliver pizzas in it to make the payments. Interesting.
My Quake skin is Marge Simpson. I am so cool. I beat Zack and all the bots tonight. However, Z's computer graphics aren't running as fluidly as they should. I'm giving him that as an out. :)
Z bought us a new home theatre system. It has surround sound. And the dvd/cd thingy also plays mp3s. I am in heaven. We bought some new movies, too. Donnie Darko, Evil Dead 2, Unbreakable, Night of the Living Dead (original), and Dementia 13. We may never leave the house again.

Oh enjoy. My Love got his surround system last year and still shows it off to everyone who comes over. Now you get to look for DTS specific things (if it does DTS which requires a seperate fiber optic cable) and always go through the "set-up" on dvd's to chose the best audio.
Some suggestions for good sound? Cast Away, The Frighterners (no really), Braveheart, and T2. :) Enjoy.

What a lucky girl you are Suz! Z is so good to you and you deserve it. You're going to have to get out and get some more flicks sooner or later though...smile.

Donnie Darko RULES!!! Unbreakable is awesome the evil dead seris is great. You ought to get Pink Floyd: the wall. I've heard sounds i never heard before. If you want to see a pretty good vampire flick, rent "The Breed" it has Adrean Paul in it. I was blown away by Donnie Darko, infact another good movie like that is Momento. It's bad ass. I give them all two big stinky toes up!
