Everytime you go .... away, you take a piece of me... with you

Hey, how you been?? I've been alright, can't really complain. Well I could complain, but why?

I've been away for a while, but with 4 short movie review to do, and a few comments I figure it's time for a visit.

OK, Dick Chaney shoots his buddy while hunting Quail,....... HA HA HA HA! Sorry, the second in command for the worlds most "gun loving" culture shooting his buddy in the face is ALWAYS good for a laugh.

I'll admit I'm quite anti gun, never shot a real gun, only pellet guns, and that was more than 10 years ago. Now you could offer me the chance and I'd turn you down flat. SURE I can understand a hunters need to feed there family, I can also understand the need to "thin the herd" (overpopulation), but killing for "sport" COME ON NOW! What makes it worse is the way these guys hunt, sit in a blind for 10-12 hours and wait for a deer to come buy!! WWOOOOO sounds like fun, almost as fun as holding a telephone to your ear waiting for that call. ACTUALLY it's almost as useful as hitting a deer with your car and then "claiming your trophy", now that took a lot of skill.

ANYWAYS

Things are fine,

-Sent back my projector for a cleaning....I really wish cleaning the dust was a "user" type of thing, but no matter how hard I try I never get all the dust.

-Repurchased my leather chair so I can get my rebate. I spent $550 at HomeDepot and am getting a $250 gift certificate. .>>>> Looks like a few tools for building my home theatre YEE HAh!

-Finally got around to putting up my new(Christmas) shower curtain, thanks Allison, looks good but the clips are shitty.

-I'm partway through the planning stages for my HT project, the big thing I'm worried about is a permit for electrical. I have this strange feeling the inspections(3 in total) will cost me close to $400, and with a $3000 budget and 13% going towards inspections this really cuts into it.

OH, I'm looking at an 11' by 16' theatre, should be good for 5 people in 2 rows. Luckily I only
have one support running through the room at the midway point, right in front of the projector, so the hushbox and the electrical should be easy to run. That and the fact that the beams run along the length make this a little easier.

-A little pissed off at the quality of the water here, I guess I should get it tested, it's really hard on the plants.

-I BOO BOOed today while installing my adapter for my MP3 player into my new car stereo...WHOOPS, but you've got to love fuses, 7.5 amp for the stereo in my car.

Now it looks like I'll have my jack wired in for my MP3 player, it can also be used for my portable DVD player, and I'm planning on hard wiring my Sirius so that none of the wires show.

Later!!

P.S. Don't forget to get your coupons for free movies, $3 off concessions, free kids combo, or kids admission on selected General Mills stuff. $4 for an $11 movie?? almost makes Bareback Mountain worth going to see.

P.P.s I guess I'll do my movie reviews in another column.
