Not much to report...I dropped by the PO Box to pick up some purchases (prolly the last for a LONG while). In it were my new truck speakers (the previous speakers I'd had for five years finally gave up the ghost), and a surprise! My Battlestar Galactica CD came in...and there was a bonus surprise. It was signed by Bear McCreary! I didn't expect that.
I bought the CD specifically for one song on it "The Shpae of Things to Come," and have found two version on the CD (the other being "Passacaglia.") After converting those to MP3, I gave the rest of the CD a listen, and found I really really really really dig the soundtrack. It's now all MP3 and sitting on my hard drive with the rest of the goodies.
SUNDAY
After a nice nap, Dean and I decided to have a night out. I hadn't seen him all week, and was beginning to miss the guy, and it was nice to have an evening to ourselves. We had some dinner at a local Indian Restaurant (they SAID it was Mullgatawny Soup, but it wasn't...but they kept saying it was), a digital showing of Revenge of the Sith, a quick drive around Austin, and then home. A nice night spent by all.
I'll have a review of Sith now that I'm in my right mind, and actually FELT some of the movie. :) I really wanted to see Sith in a digital theater, and we finally got to. I was actually somewhat dissapointed...the resolution, colors, clarity and sharpness of the movie was just INCREDIBLE. You can literally see EVERYTHING in every single frame. Absolutely gorgeous...but the biggest problem I have with movies is motion blur, which is still in digital film.
Ever since I was a kid, I've had a bad problem with movie blur. At 24 frames a second, normal movement and action is just fine. And in Digital Projection, incredibly fluid looking. But when things begin to go too fast, I get a "double image" blur. I begin to see double vision on fast objects because I'm seeing frames instead of fluid movement. I THOUGHT the Digital Projection would fix that, but is anything, it made it worse, cause now the double image is crystal clear.
Oh, well...guess I won't be all that happy with movies till we get 60 frame per second movies. :)
MONDAY
Domestic girl went out and got groceries (Only 3 days of "healthy" food and the rest of the week as cheap survival food). And then cleaned the house, and a LOT of my room. And I ate too much. I need to stop that.
I'm so looking forward to next week. I can finally excersize!
It also looks like July is going to be One Huge Vacation. Originally I was just going to go to Trinoc and back. Now it's looking like I'll be visiting State College beforehand for a week, then North Carolina, and perhaps Baltimore afterwards (maybe, depending on my finances). It's a nice reward for the year and a half of pain I just suffered. :D
