Today was interesting, after church read AV forums for a while, and rearranged and put all the wiring which was running all over the floor in a somewhat nicer layout. The fixed chair isn't so bad, but the ones on wheels are sort of odd - chairs on wheels aren't designed to have speaker cabling going to them... I have a decent setup with semi-direct routes and enough wire under each chair to move it from it's normal position about as far as it can physically be moved without lifting it. After cleaning up bigger stuff I watched Pushing Tin. That's a decent movie, a bit too romantic for my tastes, but the part with John Cusack and Billy Bob Thornton flying in the Wake Turbulance from a 747 is rather funny, and has an awesome LFE track. There are some other decent parts too. It seemed a bit rushed, although it did seem balanced in showing the different perspectives. John Cusack being excessively paranoid was interesting, but he did it well. My dad in typical fashion walked in two minutes before the end and wanted to know what had gone on, so watched half the movie over again after it finished (skipping half the decent parts in the process). Oh well, more time reading forums, and being thankful I have my wireless access point at home. Then my brother, dad and I watched Office Space. That's just a classic, although neither of them had seen it before so were quoting it for a while afterwards. I think we have two more fans... Then it was cleaning time. I figured if I'm having people over, I should make it presentable. Cleaned up the piles of trash, took out the resulting bags, and actually vacuumed the place (it needed it especially after I was digging in the ceiling and dumped drywall dust all over a couple chairs and the floor). To top of the day I watched American Psycho. That's a weird movie... The whole violence and weird methods of killing people didn't bother me as much as him doing the crazy stuff before killing people. The whole movie is sorta him trying to act like these other people, although he's seemingly not doing things even close to what the other characters are doing. While he's off on his own having multiple girls over and killing one or more of them, all the other guys are out having drinks. Apparently they don't notice him being occupied half the time either. The timeline is sorta odd, and could have had a bit more continuity, even though that's sorta the point (confused psycho). Anyways, party tomorrow so probably only one movie then, but hopefully a good one.
