We went to the movies!
For Mother's Day, we took Kim to the movies (a rare treat these days). Kim found a drive-in theater in San Jose, so we drove out and saw Van Helsing (sp?).
The good:
A) Campy monster fun
B) Corsets
C) Pretty good CG (from what I could see)
The bad:
A) Almost too campy
B) Probably the worst movie selection for an outdoor theater because the film is sooo dark.
C) Araceli kept sneaking sips of my cherry coke. She's never going to sleep.
In other news, I've recovered easily from the teeth extractions. No bone spurs or dry sockets, thank goodness. And I've made a few selections for the home theater thingy...
I purchased the Samsung DVD-HD931 because it has DVI out. After watching "Finding Nemo" for the millionth time with Araceli, I was able to see obvious improvements from the previous DVD player. Most noticable, in the opening seen with Nemo's mom and dad, the old player always had "halos" around the fish when the dark blue sea of the drop off was in the background. No halos with the new player.
I also ordered a pair of speakers for the front left and right. For a reciever, I'm seriously considering the Panasonic XR-45. I've never had a digital reciever, but I only hear good things.
