Started off the day sleeping in a bit and going to the 11:15 service at Salem with
Dave and 10ley. After that we went to lunch at
Champps and Dave and I both ate way too much. This caused the afternoon to involve basically sitting around and doing nothing. In the evening the family came over and brought
Old Chicago pizza. I managed to eat some, but now think I can make it through tomorrow without eating anything if I wanted. Oh well, gotta make up for slacking off and not eating much through the holiday season I guess. Ended up loaning my brother my digital camera and a set of 2000mAh Ni-Mh batteries for his trip around the world, so hopefully that'll come back in full working order. Got the laserdisc player mounted and stuff today, which was good. Turns out it wasn't broken, just didn't like everything piled on top of it. Also realised when I attached a copper cable between the cable box and the rest of my system (I just had it hooked up to an audio run across the house with an isolation transformer) that the cable provides a nice ground differential and a 60hz buzz coming through the sub quite nicely. Didn't have a splitter handy so I'll have to dig one out of the box later and hopefully just grounding the cable to the rack will fix it. For now since i don't care about the video this is where toslink actually becomes sorta useful and there's a reason to use it over coax. Been sitting on my laptop downstairs just listening to music for a couple hours. 3 albums later I realise that I should have been in bed long ago. Sometimes I wish I my laptop battery didn't still have another 5 hours left so it'd yell at me or something. Anyways after listening to the 28 Days Later Soundtrack last night I decided that I definitely have to just sit and listen to music more often. It's just relaxing and entertaining. Tonights selections included the 10 Things I Hate About You Soundtrack, the American Wedding Soundtrack, and Rob Dougan's Furious Angels album.
