Katie & Scott & Simon & Cecily.
Vista Media Center is being troublesome and inconsistent.
Also, one of the cats just threw up about 7 times.
It’s late and I want to play some games before going to bed, but I’ve got other things that are a higher priority right now.
I feel cranky, and I don’t particularly like myself when I’m cranky.
At least I got to wear my Scribblenauts hat all day today.
It was a day of mixed emotions.
My PS3 came today, and it’s currently set up in our media center and playing a Blu-Ray movie (which looks…pretty similar from the couch). It took a while to download the latest update and set up my online persona, but it was all worth it when my avatar was able to dance the running man in a virtual park and a random stranger joined me in tandem. That’s the future, friends.
On the flip side, the DVR is going. The new TV card is working finely, but after installing both Vista Media Center and MythTV, I think I may go with Vista for a while. The added bonus of being able to easily watch Hulu on the TV is too good to pass up. Still, it’s been longer than I expected and the machine still isn’t quite up to par.
It’s been a tiring day. So here I leave you, dear reader. Until tomorrow, when I hope to be in strictly positive spirits instead of the ambivalence with which I type these words today.
So I thought I had fixed my DVR last night and set it to record the beginning of the Steelers game tonight. I came home a bit later than intended and sat down to play the game.
Unfortunately, I had not fixed my DVR as well as I thought. While it was fine with watching Live TV and recording last night while I was in front of the TV, it had a problem going idle for an entire day before starting a recording. Oops.
Fortunately, I had arrived with about 10 minute left in the fourth quarter and saw the heartbreaking fumble by Hines Ward and the efficient overtime drive by Ben to get the Steelers off to a good start to the season.
I’ve missed football. That’s not entirely true. I’ve missed my Steelers.
Football season is nice. It’s a reasonable and watchable number of games and it only happens on weekends. You get a whole week to celebrate your victories and recover from your defeats.
I’m kind of glad I didn’t see Polamalu get hurt. Now, back to the end of Project Runway and some more Beatles: Rock Band.
