Really Boring Stuff Only

At least you don't have fire ants

I logged on tonight simply to report that I found another scorpion on my carpet. That makes four. Maybe I should get a flame thrower and start looking for the queen.

When you live in a desert you get scorpions, when you live in Texas you get fire ants. --- I like Phoenix and scorpions better

I prefer fire ants myself. I've encountered both. Fire Ants are nasty boogers, but they have really nasty ants in Arizona too.

In the woods snakes become your main source of aggravation.

I worked out this morning. I feel great and energized. It's Ironic that exercise brings energy, but I know I've needed it for a while.

I'm pretty sure that Niki and I have come across fire ants on our walks. So, scorpions, fire ants, and snakes...oh, my.

Scorpions, ants, and snakes are no fun but its the horny monkeys you have to worry about....

Heck, I rely on the scorpions, ants, and snakes to keep the horny monkeys at bay. Well, that and mismatched clothing. They hate that.

This monkey became enraged at the site of someone wearing a plaid shirt with striped pants, and bit its own nose off and ripped the scalp off of an ewok.

Poor little ewok. To come so far...what with winning the battle against the Empire and all...only to have this happen. Stupid humans and their lack of fashion sense.

Not to mention speed traps. And cops that ticket for 2 miles over.

You've got quite the memory! Kudos, my man.

Time to get the hydration pack ready and offer to bring Niki out.

I rented 2 Blu-rays. 21 and State of Play. They have the fancy audio on them. I'm gonna see how it sounds for the first time ever and I'm gonna see if this system that I set up in December does what it's suppose to. I forgot everything I ever knew about the PS3 and the Yammy 663.

Wish me luck.

Edit: Is this suppose to be in 7.1?

sorry about your scorpion problem adam I am sure glad i live far away from anything like that I would have nightmares everynight thinking they where in my bed. Looks like its time for a expert to check out your problem.

good luck with that

Nope, both should be 5.1.

State of Play (just watched it - great movie IMO - good choice) is DTS-HD MA 5.1, and 21 is Dolby TrueHD 5.1.

I appreciate it, Paul!

BTW, imagine how I feel - seeing as how I sleep on the floor (where I'm finding them).

Captain obvious says stop sleeping on the floor and check your shoes before you stick your feets in them.

Just as a reference, I checked and have about 70 BD movies eek: didn't know I had near that many) and the only one that I have that is in 7.1 is 3:10 to Yuma.

The 663 might be able to matrix 5.1 audio up to 7.1, but since I have always had 5.1 systems I have never really known about that kind of feature.

Woed. I've been knocking stuff out of my shoes for years, so no worries there. I almost slept in the chair last night, but the floor was oh so compelling.

I cut a hole in a wall in this office room and drilled up into the wall from the basement, which was a big pain in the a$$ because a sewer pipe was in the way, which I couldn't drill through due to fear of falling turds, but I sure did want to . I finally got it though, and only ruined one bit extension to my drill .

I am going to run the 25' HDMI cable that I should get from Monoprice tomorrow down to the HT so I can do all the fun, internety things down there. I was going to run it from my HTPC under the TV upstairs, but it is right next to the stairwell so it is damned near impossible. I can't buy new wireless stuff for this machine so I will just have to move my wireless keyboard and mouse back and forth between office PC and HTPC when necessary.

Fortunately, the ceiling under this office room has no drywall, so it will be an easy run.

I think I posted too much audio crap today.... I feel much more at home here...
