Sunday was good. The morning was my sister's confirmation. Went a little long, but was good. That was followed by lunch at Olive Garden and the unlimited soup, salad and breadsticks. I normally don't eat too much on Sundays, so only ended up eating two bowls of Zuppa Toscana, but it was good (especially since my second bowl was a fresh batch). I don't think it quite compares to Emily's Chicken Potato Chowder (not as creamy), but it's good. For the afternoon I watched Shrek, which is a very funny movie. The nice touch was the lens flare for a wide open aperature of all things. Think about that one for a second... Sorta like the new M&Ms commercial (which also looks animated). The soundtrack is good too, gotta love when they pull out Joan Jett songs in a kids movie. After the movie was music time again. After the Sunday night TV I decided it would be a good idea to turn off the projector, but was too lazy to go turn on the lights. I realized I actually like it better that way. Those who have been at my place know how I have the entire front wall of the room a black cloth surface and that I can effectively shut off almost all outside light. So yea, if I look up from my computer screen there's *nothing*. It's the kind of dark your eyes just kind of focus off way into the distance trying to find something. Yet the only thing is a couple LEDs on the light switch off to the side. It actually makes the listening experience better in my opinion, as the walls just disappear. Especially with some processing so the sound comes from all around it sounds like being in an extremely large room or just open space. I've heard lots of recommendations about how listening in the dark can be much better but never bothered for no good reason (it's not the walking in the dark part - I walk around doing things without bothering to turn the lights on all the time). Too bad I just discover this when it's gonna start being light outside for longer. At least nobody complains if I crank the music in the middle of the night...
