Vacation is going well - I'm definitely enjoying having nothing to do... For some reason I decided to watch 3 Batman movies in one day though (Batman, Batman Forever, and Batman & Robin). Not the greatest movies ever, but I survived... If you want to focus only on sound, I'd have to say Batman Forever has one of the better Dolby Digital tracks I've heard in a while (at least with the laserdisc version)... That pretty much explains what I've done for a big chunk of the day, except my dad stopped down and decided to play with the MP3 player between movies for about a half hour. The music ranged from Tommy James & The Shondells and The Byrds to Rage and LFO. I think the goal for a while was how low could we get the lights to dim to musical peaks in a live version of Simon and Garfunkel's Sound of Silence (yes, it was very loud)... At least he didn't blow any breakers for the second time in one day (hey, I had an excuse)...
