Don’t you hate when you have to buy extras to make something work?

by

You know, when we bought our HD DLP television a few years ago .. 2004 I believe, it didn’t even come with any HDMI switches. In fact at that time you really couldn’t even buy this type of connection in Canada, but of course if you want the best performance out of your HD television or say an HD DVD player (like we have) you really need one of these connections.

I can’t tell you how much that ticked me off when I found out that it didn’t have an HDMI connection. Oh sure it has the outlet for it, but the vital connection wasn’t included in what was then a close to $5000 TV?

I think I’m going to get one of these switches now so that we can hook up the HD PVR and the HD TV. Who knows, maybe we’ll get a second one so that we can also connect the HD dvd player with one as well. Naturally all of these items work with lesser connections but I bet the picture is so much better with an HDMI.





Reruns already?

by

I’m just getting around to watching some of the shows that we taped last night and I’m wondering … how many shows had reruns last night?

The CSI was a rerun. I saw that episode at least twice last year when there was nothing but reruns on … and now we’re watching Shark and I have a feeling it might be a rerun too …

What’s going on? The TV season just started and we’re already seeing reruns? I can only imagine how bad this will get in December, January and February if last year is any indication. Last year was rerun city for all of those months.

An outing for the nephews and nieces

by

Aw. Apparently the Disney channel has taken the Hannah Montana show on the road so I thought maybe getting Hannah Montana tickets for a couple of my young nieces and nephews would be a great gift idea, but I only see one Canadian listing.

It’s on December 15th. Well at least it’s a Saturday. It’d be terrible if it was a week night during school. This way, if I get tickets we could borrow the kids and make a day of it in downtown Toronto. Perhaps taking the kids to the CN tower so that they could see what the city looks like from high above, and see if any of them would dare to walk on the glass floor! I won’t, but they might!

I hope we renovate our basement soon

by

Yesterday I was invited to enter into a special partnership with a company that calls itself a private online shopping club. I decided to take the company up on it’s offer and join as there seems to be some benefits to me such as big discounts on trendy clothing and high quality furniture if I were interested in buying as well as referral fees.

As I was looking around the site I saw some beautiful leather home theater seating, similar to a few of the sets shown on that page.

It caught my eye because when we get around to finishing our basement I think we might set it up as a home theater. Right now we’ve got our big screen HD TV in the living room, but I have other plans for the joined living room dining room and it’s always been our plan to move the TV downstairs. So why not really do it up and create a beautiful home theater room?

I know our renovation is probably a year or more in the future, but I can’t help trying to plan ahead of time!

I was clueless for a minute or two

by

Earlier I was visiting a friends blog and she was talking about how she and her family had managed to get Miley Cyrus tickets.

I thought that was great as it sounded like something that she and her family could do together but for the life of me I didn’t clue into who Miley Cyrus was until just a moment ago.

She’s Hanna Montana … Billy Ray Cyrus’ daughter.

Since we don’t have kids we don’t keep up with what’s hot in the world of teens. Call me clueless but that’s my excuse!
