My weekend/ vids
Today was a beautiful day. Mom and I got the last of the windows unstuck, but discovered that 2 of the eye hooks for the screens aren't right so we have to get new ones. On one window the eye is too close to the screen and on the other it's too far away. BUT we can't just switch out the screens because the top brackets aren't spaced the same.
Then we put up all the windows and sat and talked. I've had the thermostat turned off for several days now and unless it gets warm again I won't be turning it back on for awhile.
I'm giving up on cable. I said this before and tehn I backed out of it, but if I cut down netflix to the $9.99 unlimited plan and cut out cable I'll save....$25/mth or so. And the library has a really fantastic selection of dvds, but it's not a great way to watch tv series. If the show's episodes were sold seperately (like farscape or Sg1) then you get the individual discs. But if it's a box set like Buffy, then you get the whole set, and I can never watch it all in a week. (I could renew but most stuff of the popular dvds have waiting lists). Plus I have tons of stuff on tape and if I really want to watch something...well, I know how to acquire it.
I'm trying very hard to be frugal. I told Mom this and she thinks I already live cheap. I don't though, I live barely within my means and I don't have a lot left over for things because I spend money eating out or in the vending machine or coffee bar at work. If I did I'd have money for box sets, etc.
Or things like Gothic Charm School lightswitch covers and vid dvd sets.
Chicago Loop Dvd set came Friday. I sat down and watched it all. THe first vid I watched was Hotel California because I'd heard so much about it and I've been dying to watch it. The vid is brilliant. I checked out the first disc of The Prisoner because I've forgotten a lot of the show and I know that the vid will make more sense when I can remember things about it.
I know I watched other vids by the same vidder, the only one I can think of is the Buffy vid...I hesitated because of the song, but again, it's a brilliant vid. It's a Natalie Imbruglia song...the one that was really popular...It's Buffy and Angelus and completely heartbreaking.
Plus there's a bonus bit of The Tick -- keen!
I was pissy last night because Sun Sports delayed showing the Tampa bay game to do a post game show on LSU And Flordia. Florida lost, LSU won. Sun Sports has all kinds of coverage and post game stuff during the week. I have to watch the game. I meant to do that today, maybe tomorrow after work. I did catch the end of the game when it was half time for the FSU game. They won! I was so excited! FSU lost, which is disappointing, but they kept getting the same stupid penalities.
