Hmm, it appears that last night's post went missing. It's not in my sent item either, so it wasn't just the mail getting lost - oh well. I watched the rest of the T2 Extreme disc, and was thoroughly impressed. Then I watched Sum of all Fears - also a very good movie, with a pretty decent transfer. Today there was church, and then relaxing and cleaning up the place a bit. I've been getting a lot of stuff through eBay lately, so collected a bunch of packing material and threw it out. Also cleaned up other general stuff, and sorted through mail. I probably should do that more often. While I was at it I ended up finally fulfilling my Columbia House membership requirement since they were complaining that the time was almost up. BTW, if anyone is wondering, I definitely don't recommend their music club. If you just want Top 40 or the really popular stuff go for it, but if you have any diverse tastes good luck (including stuff like Evanescence and even most movie soundtracks). Their DVD club is pretty cool though. I preordered Two Towers for about what I'd pay retail, and got some other movies cheap. I haven't been able to find a good answer online (other than a rather suspicious regionless and slim-case packaged DVD that seemed questionable), but I'm really hoping it has the dts soundtrack. The FOTR extended one did, but I'm not sure if this one will. I'd really like a single-disc version in dts rather than Dolby Digital (can you tell I prefer one over the other just slightly? :). Tonight I watched Bad Boys. It's rather corny, but still funny. It's fun to catch all the crazy references to different movies. Other than the obvious "Bad Boys" song that's in all the trailers to the new ones, they have stuff ranging from Driving Miss Daisy to the original Charlie's Angels (and no, not the original that came out 5 years later - the real original). While that usually is a sign of a movie grasping for things, somehow they managed to make it pretty good. If you can get around the language that is. Back to work tomorrow, so should probably get ready for that.
