I am sore as fuck. Just spent all of last night and this morning redoing all of my tv/console/movie/music wiring.

I used my tax return to get 5.1 475 watt surround sound just in time for the super bowl. The receiver is Denon and is full HD and the speakers are all Boston Acoustics.

I think I did a pretty good job with the wiring and mounting... That took the longest.

The worst part is after all of that I still had to use 2 splitter boxes to hook up all my game systems. Bah! Apparently new HD receivers only have 1 regular composite video input.

After working on cleaning the office for our company's 90 birthday on Wednesday and running back and forth between IT and the covers department I have come to the stunning realization that I'm out of shape. I know, it was a surprise to me too.

Step 1: Start playing DDR a few times a week again (ideally 30min a day but I highly doubt I will keep that up). I wonder if Stepmania is even installed on my new laptop. I think it is. I do have a real, actually legit, copy of DDR now on PS2 though. I should get an Xbox version at some point in the future too. Maybe put this on the list of things to do with a Media Center PC when I build one this year for my TV.

Step 2: Buy a bike. My old bike has been busted (and was a piece of shit) for years. I can easily bike to work during the spring/fall (and as long as it's not super hot during the summer). I meant to do this last year but I failed.

Step 3: Begin playing Golf and probably making a complete ass out of myself doing so. I got my grandfather's old clubs and hit the driving range once last year, but I really need to get more practice in. Maybe take a few lessons cuz I really fucking suck at the driving range.

A home for my companion cube. Which reminds me I need to renew my black Mesa parking pass... Maybe replace it with aperature science

Finally winding down after a long Christmas. It was a rather odd year this year...

Usually we open family presents Christmas eve and do everything else Christmas morning, but my brother wasn't coming into town until tonight and my mom wanted to leave for Pontiac super early Christmas morning, so we held off and did family gifts tonight after getting back from Pontiac and did "Santa" (yes, my parents still tag everything as from Santa) gifts Christmas eve.

So.... LOOT LIST

Lego Lamborghini - No Christmas is complete without an awesome lego set! woot!
Lost Season 5 on Bluray
Jonathan Coulton's Thing-a-Week Box Set
Inglorious Bastards on DVD (probably trading this in for the Bluray version... but I'm debating still. It'll cost me like $10 extra but it's probably a movie that'll be worth it)
Paramore - Riot!
Brutal Legend for Xbox 360
Random clothes
Random Candy
Cash
Best Buy gift card
Some crazy Belgian Ale called Chimay (yay for Ale!)
Mexican Coca-Cola
Trader Joe's Sipping Chocolate (some crazy hot chocolate mix stuff thats delicious)

All my gifts to internet friends should be taken care of. I hope everyone likes everything!
