actually it's not, it's just coming from the server and my computer can't seem to cope today. I'm using the slowest computer in the building. I'm also the only one not doing complex graphic analysis.

Which is the better place to go Saturday to see Harry Potter?
1) The place 5 minutes away with comfy seats and good projectors (decent sound) but old style seating (everyone on a slightly slanted floor looking up at the screen)

2) The place 15 minutes away with ok seats, cheap projectors (good enough, but you can tell), stadium seating, and twice as many showings

It's the off season in the town we live in so we are hoping it won't be super crowded either way (friends assure us it probably won't be). It doesn't really matter either way to Orc, he's 6ft+, I'm not that lucky, I'm generally considered short and loved the fact that we were getting a stadium seating theater. But the seats while tolerable do leave you with a stiff neck anyway (well at least they do me). I get a migraine almost guarenteed either way, stupid flicker.

go to the one with better screen and sound--

I have found that in stadium seating when you are at a good level to see the screen, you totally hear the projector noise and that stinks worse than looking up at the screen...

I'm going to rent a stainess fridge.

Painting should start Monday. I'm going to get them to start on kitchen first.

So what do you do with all the "old" stuff?

How old are the old appliances?

Howdy, gang!

Same for my sister. Actually she ended up replacing all the built-ins too. Sold them to my grandma to use in her rental. Her house was only 5 years old, but it had been owned by a bachelor.

Hmm, it's not the looking up that worries me as much as looking between heads and only seeing half the screen (did I mention I'm short). I can hear the projector either place, I'm used to that. Most of the time the volume is up so much that you don't hear it unless things are quiet. We like to sit in the acoustic middle if we can get those seats.

Flank steak here. With any luck. I just realized there is nothing to go with it.

I think I'm doing that Friday night. Got a new recipe for it.

You've seen pictures of me on facebook. I am taller than some of my friends (of course they are only 1" too tall to be in short people of America), but pretty much everyone I know is taller than me, even my Asian friends (of course most of them are tall for Asian).
