November, HDTV, and a certain Xbox

Geez. Talk about neglect. It’s not like I’m so damn busy that I can’t update here and there. Well, once again, I will try and make some kinda of effort to post a little more. Let’s do a little catch up.

I know I say this every time I get on here, but the year is going by so quick. I can’t believe it’s already Thanksgiving. Soon it’ll be Christmas and then 2006. How can it be the middle of November right now and be 90 degrees outside? Kinda pisses me off. I’m dying for that cold weather right now. Oh well.

I spent way too much money this weekend. I mean way too much. I finally got myself an HDTV. Been doing a ton of research on them for the past year. Finally got my ass out there and picked one up. The HDTV market is one of the few markets where the best selling units are actually the best quality too and that’s because HD users are generally more higher-end users that take the time to learn about the tech. When it comes to rear projection HDTV, there’s really only two big players are far as quality goes and that would be Samsung and Mitsubishi. You would think Sony would be up there too, but they’re consistently scored lower than everyone else and, therefore, don’t sell well at all. I decided on the Samsung HL-5078W and so far, I’m absolutely amazed. There’s nothing on this thing to disappoint. It’s got all the major connections and then some. The picture quality is simply beautiful. I’ll be getting full HD broadcasting hooked up this week also.

Ok, so the reason I finally pushed myself to get the HDTV was because of another large purchase I have already paid for and will be picking up tonight at midnight. I’m talking Xbox 360. I’m gonna have this monster tonight and all ready for full HD viewing. If I don’t post the rest of the week, you’ll know exactly why.

Samara Morgan

The little girl in the scary movie is such an old and boring concept that just doesn’t frighten the way it use to, but that train of thought completely derailed for me with the introduction of Samara Morgan from the 2002 release, The Ring. She graces the next background of my October scary movie themes.

Horny Hockey Lost

Man! How can you not love fall? Hockey has started. Lost has started. It’s darker outside. Not so much cooler right now here in SoCal, but it eventually will cool down. Is it me, or do ya just get hornier in the fall? I sure do! Too much info?

I’m sitting here watching a great game between the Kings and Red Wings. Wings are up 2-1. Hopefully the Kings will pull it out. Man I hate the Wing! So happy I’m watching hockey again. The game is pretty much the same as before, but a lot faster. I’m digging it. If there’s one thing I don’t like, it would be the tiny ass blockers they’ve given the goalies. I have no idea how those things are going to help to block anything. Oh well. Go Kings!

Lost is back on! We’re 4 episodes into the second season. I don’t think I’ve been this into a show since the X-files. I can’t even begin to describe how good this show is. Now you’re telling me I can also watch reruns on my iPod?! Well that certainly doesn’t suck.

As for being horny in the fall, tell me I’m wrong. You know you’re sitting there wanting to have some hot sex right now. It’s definitely something in the air. Maybe it’s the fall colors that get the blood flowing. I don’t know. I might have to “share these feelings” with someone soon.

Stickman

Another scary movie theme. I’m going to go through these pretty quickly this year. Plan on putting up a new one every Saturday and Wednesday night for the month of October. Today’s theme comes from one of the scariest movies of all time. A lot of people don’t think so, but I think The Blair Witch Project is just a complete mind fuck, especially when you watch it for the first time. The “stickman” is what you get for a background today.

iPod Whore

I’m an idiot. That’s a given, but top that off with me being an impulse buyer and you have a recipe for disaster. I just bought a new 60GB iPod in August. Right after they announced the new iPod with video capabilities today, I just put in my order for a black 60GB. I’m a consumer whore.
